Isn’t this a beautiful appetizer? My friends and neighbors, Jillian and Thad brought it over not too long ago for us to snack on while we finished grilling dinner…and it was F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S! Jillian gladly let me snap a quick picture and jot down the recipe. This marinated cheese appetizer is easy to put together and [...]
Southerners put their heart and soul into their cooking, and take great pride in bringing a smile to a loved one’s face when they bite into one of their delicious creations. And no dinner is quite complete without something sweet! So, when I was recently contacted by the publishers of Southern Living Classic Southern Desserts [...]
This recipe for pound cake is one of the best I’ve ever had and hails from Huntsville, Texas where a great friend and cook shared it with me. Mrs. Lanier heard that my husband loves pound cake and while we were visiting one evening, she wielded her recipe box out touting that she had received [...]
OK. Now you’ve made the Grilled Steak Gyros, Hummus, and Tzatziki Sauce and you might have leftovers, so why not throw together Greek Tostados? That’s what I did for this recipe and it was a huge hit with our family! Print Greek Tostados Ingredients8 whole pita breads 1 cup hummus 1 pound chopped steak, grilled [...]
Hummus seems to be all the rage today, especially as a low fat healthy alternative to dip. You can use it with fresh veggies, as a sandwich spread, or to dip with fresh pita bread (my favorite!). Hummus can be bought at most supermarkets, but it’s super easy to make at home with just a [...]
I mentioned earlier this year that I’m moving to Houston…well I still am. I just haven’t…YET! I’m still trying to sell my house…what a market, I tell ya! But it’ll happen sooner or later.In the meantime, I have been looking for houses in Houston on the Internet and have made a few trips to see [...]
Sriracha is a Thai style hot sauce, also known as “rooster sauce” because of the rooster on the front of the bottle. It’s made from sun-ripened chili peppers, sugar, garlic, vinegar, and salt. The familiar reddish orange bottle with the distinctive bright green bottle cap graces many culinary cabinets from chefs to the everyday home [...]
Sometimes I get in a rut with vegetable sides to serve along side meals. So from time to time, I leave the can ‘o green beans in the pantry and head for more exotic… like Brussels Sprouts. I know. I used to hate them too. I’ve grown a little in my tastes over the years…plus [...]
Too hot to cook? It sure is here! I live in Texas and I’m tellin’ ya, it’s blazin’ hot here. We haven’t had much rain in what seems like months and all the poor farmer’s crops have all but burned up! I mean, there’s something seriously wrong when the weather forecast states “Dangerous heat index. [...]
I was digging through a Junior League cookbook the other day and came across a recipe for Honey Pork Tenderloin. As I read through it, I thought this would make a great “company dish”. So with a few tweaks here and there I came up with this recipe as the final product…and I thought it [...]
Ice. Cold. Beer. Sounds good on a hot summer day! What goes better with beer than…Pretzels! My husband and I have a good friend who does a lot of home brewing. He experiments with all kinds of flavors. He has even taken home a couple of pounds of our blackberries to try a new [...]
I just recently bought my FIRST waffle maker…can you believe it?! I can’t. You should see all of the cooking gadgets I have…it’s ridiculous! But no waffle maker. Until now. And I have become pretty obsessed with it. Look how pretty and shiny it is! I bought it from Sams Club for around $65. I [...]
Thanksgiving is just not Thanksgiving without Cranberry Sauce. I know there are lovers and haters out there, but I’m one of the lovers. I love to have a bite of turkey with a bite of cranberry sauce…it just makes the perfect bite, in my opinion. And talk about leftover turkey sandwiches…I slather them with mayonnaise [...]

Mexican food is one of my favorites and I live in a small town that has a taqueria on just about every corner, so I’m usually in luck! And although their fajitas are really good, there’s nothing better than home cooked fajitas at home with family and friends. We made these fajitas last week with [...]
