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 [...]
“In Texas you can buy happiness. People generally order it as an appetizer. It’s called queso.” – @TexasHumor It is supposed to be a joke, but I find that chile con queso can, in actual fact, make most people quite happy! It may just be a Texas thing, but whenever people gather to have a [...]
It is almost time for the BEST part of Thanksgiving. If you would guess the big meal itself you would only be half right. My favorite part of this feasting holiday would be the day AFTER the big event when the left-overs roam free! I love left-overs more than the actual meal because they can [...]
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 [...]
I am a sucker for anything served with a poached egg. From salads to English muffins, poached eggs are among my favorite things to prepare and eat. A perfectly poached egg is a thing of beauty, and when you break into the golden, oozing yolk … well I can’t think of many things that are [...]
I did a guest post for October Unprocessed over at Eating Rules! The photo above is of a dreamy, smooth Pumpkin Fondue that is packed with all kinds of goodness. It also taste FAR more evil that it truly is! Take a moment to take a look!
You can blame Twitter for this one … While tweeting yesterday with @KerrygoldUSA we were discussing macaroni and cheese. Specifically, we were discussing the seasonality of the dish. Some folks apparently feel that macaroni and cheese is a cool weather dish … only. In my humble opinion, even if it is piping hot from the [...]
I think the best way to cook a beef roast is in the slow cooker. I love that I can spend about ten minutes puttering in the kitchen, then I sit back for eight hours and, as if by magic, I have a pot of juicy, tender, wonderfully flavorful beef. Speaking of beef, this is [...]
I love hushpuppies. I mean, who does not like golden grown, deep fried balls of delicious cornbread? When I was growing up we had them with fried fish and shrimp dinners and they were the item I ate most greedily. These days I make hushpuppies for all sorts of occasions and I have found they [...]
The holidays are not always frosty and cold. Sometimes they are downright warm! At least they are in the Dallas area. Sure, last year we enjoyed a white Christmas, but our typical Christmas is spent in often balmy 70 degree weather. When I plan my Christmas Day meal I pay close attention to the weather. [...]
