Howdy y’all! Welcome to Texas! One evening, while feeling particularly full of myself, I submitted a proposal for Foodbuzz’s montlhy 24, 24, 24 event.

Do you impulse buy? I do. My impulse buys are most often food related. Last week I discovered a really great local cheese shop, Scardello Artisan Cheese, in Dallas and I could not help but go in and shop. I got some terribly expensive, and very tasty, sea salt caramels, some disappointing dark chocolate, and [...]

My husband, despite coming from Chicago originally, likes Tex-Mex food a lot. He does not, however, like cheese and onion enchiladas. It is the cheese that he objects to, not the enchiladas themselves, so because I love him I make him beef enchiladas when I make cheese and onion for myself. Beef enchiladas are simple, but I wondered [...]

I live in Texas and have a shameless addiction to Tex-Mex food. I grew up on the stuff and from an early age remember going to restraunts that served dishes of fragrant, spicy food and warm, soft tortillas. Among the things I love most are cheese and onion enchiladas. Now, most places serve them with [...]

When I was growing up in South Texas we had this neighbor who would, on Saturday afternoons, make her tortillas for the week. Believe me, I made friends with her children so I could make myself available for tortilla day. I think she enjoyed my enthusiasm and always had a few extra tortillas for me to [...]

This is guacamole, my way. It may offend purists, who insist that guacamole is best when it is avocado and lime juice only, but I have made it this way for years and so far I have had no complaints. Even with the mayo. Trust me, it’s so good. I served this dip for parties [...]
