Teaching, encouraging and inspiring filled Sherri Moody's life as a Deer Park ISD teacher for almost three decades. In April of 2023 Sherri's life would change, but her positivity and zest for life wouldn't. Sherri says "I did teach for 28 years and there wasn't a day I didn't love it but now I think there is something else I need to do."

April 21, 2023 Sherri's husband David would rush her to the hospital with a case of double pneumonia which developed into sepsis shock, Sherri would be in for a fight for her life. " I didn't know what was going on but I remember David saying fight Sherri, fight for our family and I said I will." To save Sherri she was given medicine to save her vital organs. As a result she lost circulation in her arms and legs, they would later be amputated. Sherri refused to give in, "I really just tried to think about how I could use this as a blessing and not fall into depression."

Sherri's husband David also an educator retired to take care of his wife. The high school sweethearts have grown closer than ever, "we've always been best friends now it's a different kind of love." David says, "I could not image not having my wife and her beautiful spirit with me. She's my everything."

The Deer Park teaching community and the surrounding communities of Pasadena and La Porte have stepped up to help out with medical bills through fund raisers.

Through it all, Sherri's positivity and vibrant personality is inspiring all. Her message, "being positive is a mind set, getting up and choosing happiness is something that I do everyday."

Sherri plans to share her message through public speaking and she has plans to write a children's book.

These Ritz Cracker Sandwiches Vanish Before the Party Starts

Ritz Party Sandwiches transform familiar buttery crackers into warm, savory appetizers that are exactly the right size for grabbing from a crowded table. Cheese and flavorful sandwich fillings sit between pairs of crackers, creating miniature bites with a crisp exterior and rich center. As they bake, the cheese melts, the filling warms, and the crackers become even more aromatic without losing the delicate texture that makes Ritz crackers so recognizable. Each small sandwich delivers salt, butter, cheese, and savory flavor in one or two bites, which explains why people rarely stop after taking only one. The recipe does not require elaborate pastry, specialty bread, or hours of preparation, yet the completed tray looks more thoughtful than simply opening a box of crackers. It is party food built around convenience without tasting like the cook took an obvious shortcut.

Grandma Was Right About Potatoes and Onions

Sometimes the most memorable food begins with ingredients so ordinary that their transformation feels almost unfair. Southern Fried Taters and Onions take potatoes, sliced onion, garlic, oil, salt, and pepper and turn them into a skillet full of golden edges, tender centers, and deep savory flavor. As the potatoes cook, some pieces crisp against the hot pan while others remain soft enough to soak up the sweetness released by the onions. That mix of textures is what makes a simple recipe so hard to leave alone. Every serving contains a few crunchy bites, several buttery-soft slices, and caramelized onion tucked between them. No cream sauce, specialty cheese, or expensive meat is required to make the skillet smell like a proper country breakfast or old-fashioned family supper.
