About Me

Hi all, and welcome to The Comer Experience. Howdy, we are John and Gena. Gena is born and raised in Southern Oklahoma. John is a military brat, raised in New York for his first few years. He spent 5 years in Okinawa, Japan before moving to Oklahoma. Both of us have been married before, and have finally found our comfort in each other since 1999. We got married on July 4, 2006, and it makes Independence Day something much better to celebrate. We have hit a point in our life together that now we want to share our experiences with everyone. We want to take you on a trip through the everyday lives of our family. We have started this blog to give people a look into what our family enjoys, and goes through. You will see some great cooking from John, who learned from helping his mother in the kitchen. With his mix of Italian and Irish background he enjoys experimenting and making great food. We will also take you on our journey into learning photography and we would love to hear your critiques on our pictures. All and all we hope you enjoy your journey with us and can laugh and learn from our experiences. Enjoy and lots of fun, John & Gena #TheComerExperience

What about those Seahawks & Snacks!

I can not believe that game last night!! Way to go Seahawks.  Had fun at the in-laws watching the game feasting on all things not healthy ;).  Okay, there was no fried food so it wasn't to unhealthy.  It's so nice to be around people that enjoy the game like I do.  We had a little bit of every kind of game time snack even some homemade stuff.

Started it all out with that "who can go wrong with" cheese dip made with Velveeta.  My father-in-law makes it every year, and adds hamburger & sausage to it.  This year a bit of spicy was added to it, and it really brought out the flavor.

There were also those all time favorite 'Lil Smokies' in BBQ.  Those are my all time favorite thing.  We typically use the cheese filled ones when we make them at home.


My mother-in-law the night before had prepped some sausage balls.  If you have not had those OMG they are amaze-balls!  She also made that Macaroni Salad we featured last week.  She added hard boiled eggs to hers this time.  Gotta love that Italian side always changing things up.  And, who could forget the Bean & Corn Salsa.  Yummo!


The last thing we had was home made sloppy joe pockets.  We prepared the sloppy joe mix as you typically would, and then made wheat & white biscuits.  Rolled them out flat, and filled with cheese & the mix.  Pinched them closed and baked until the biscuit was golden brown.  These turned out so yummy!


So who did you root for?  The underdog who pulled a fast one, or the crowd favorite that lost their pants.....


Snacktime fun,

Gena
