Creamy potatoes, smothered in cheese, are my idea of heaven. April has been a super busy month for me. I was hired to do the photography for a cookbook and my deadline is the 30th. So, while I have been very busy in the kitchen lately, almost all of it is for the photography project [...]

I am a sucker for a good grilled cheese sandwich. Not just any grilled cheese, mind. Yes, growing up I loved grilled cheese sandwiches made from processed cheese slices and that cotton candy white bread. Let’s just say my palate has matured. These days I have some pretty strict standards for grilled cheese. They are [...]

There is something magic about food. The last few weeks have been somewhat difficult for me. Nothing too extreme, but I have had a fair amount of work related stress, the stress of Christmas Day, and I am coming up on my first deadline for the next book. Needless to say, I have been a [...]

I love the side dishes served for Thanksgiving better the turkey. Yep, I’m the one who piles on the stuffing, scoops up the sweet potatoes, and gets the greediest portion of green beans. For me turkey is better the next day in sandwiches, casseroles, or chopped up and cooked into soups. This is one meal [...]

The calender says it is fall, and that is good enough for me. Here in the Dallas area, where we just had one of the hottest summers on record, the temperatures are still hovering around 90 most days. Yes, it is still warm but I know fall is coming. How do I know when it [...]

What? She made a salad? Oh yes, she sure did! Despite what some may think, I do enjoy a good salad. That said, I am not a weeds and lemon juice kind of gal (no offense to those of you who are). If you are going to feed me salad there are a few requirements [...]

I am really quite a tamale snob. Let me explain. You see, the ratio of well prepared tamales to terrible tamales is currently around 1 to 100. What makes a bad tamale? First, the masa. A bad tamale has either dry, crumbly masa, or gooey, undercooked masa. Typically you see the former, which is why [...]
