If you visit NanaHood often you know I love desserts. I’m one of those people who can skip the main meal and go straight to the sweet stuff! With Easter just around the corner I’m menu planning and I ran across a great idea from my friends at Marie Callendar’s Use one of Marie…
If you have never heard of the 9 Nanas from Tennessee who make happiness happen you aren’t alone. I live in Kentucky but had never heard of them until I read the following article about 9 Women Who Kept a Secret For More Than 30 Years. I know people who can’t keep a secret for a…
I am one of six bloggers who write for Marie Callender’s blog. Recently they sent me ten pie coupons to give as gifts for Mother’s Day. They have lots of great meal and dessert choices and with each coupon the recipient could purchase one free Marie Callender’s pie. I immediately started thinking about who I…
Valentine’s Day was so much fun. My parents always did something to make it a special day for us kids. We could always look forward to a cute card or a box or candy. I am trying to make memories such as this with my own kids. When they are grown, I want them to…
I just love an excuse to eat a piece of pie, don’t you? And it doesn’t take much of an excuse for me. I’m one of those people who can skip the meal and go straight to the sweets! For those of you on diets or who need some encouragement, here are ten reasons you…

My mom was an awesome cook. Her specialties were desserts. Every weekend there were homemade cakes and pies and always (she never used a mix) they were made from scratch. Today is my brother’s birthday. He’s my only sibling and I love him dearly, but he is hard to buy for. About a week or…
Have you ever taken those little shampoo/conditioner/lotion bottles from the hotel home with you? I bring them home with me (I figure I’ve paid for them so I might as well!) and I use them for traveling, or if I run out of something. Last week after I got out of the shower I rubbed…
My mother was an awesome cook. If you don’t believe me, ask my friends. They all loved “Shirley Bell’s homemade desserts.” When it came to baking she didn’t believe in taking short cuts. Momma loved sweets and so do I. One of my favorite things she made was coconut cream pie. I decided last week…
Today’s post is all because my daughter and granddaughter made cupcakes this week. They were red velvet with whipped buttercream icing and they were so yummy I ate three at once….yep, not good for the mid-section and the reason I need to learn to hula hoop. https://nanahood.com/hula-hoop-queen Anyway, Abby, the GRANDdaughter, absolutely loves to make…
I may have mentioned before that my sister-in-law is an amazing person. Just in case you didn’t know that, she is. She’s full of energy and runs wide open 24/7. She’s principal at our high school and you would think that on weekends she would rest, but nooooo. She invites her whole family over for…
Okay, it’s Tuesday again and time to give thanks for something on Gratituesday. Let’s see, I’m thankful Abby forgot and left her Halloween bag full of candy here for Nana to pilfer through. So far I have had two bite size Snickers (shhhh, don’t tell). I’m thankful that we don’t have to go to school…
