Southwestern Avocado and Black Bean Salad
I hope you had a nice long relaxing weekend! I nursed a sick hubby most of the weekend, but I did get to meet the Houston Texans quarterback TJ Yates. Isn’t he a cutie? I was amazed at how shy he was of course he’s only 25 and fairly a new guy to the...
Chicken Crescent Roll Casserole
We had some leftover smoked chicken so I used it in this new casserole dish. It really made a difference so I highly recommend using smoked or a more flavored chicken over boiled plain chicken. A couple other changes where I added more cheese and since we like a...
Pulled Pork with Ginger-Bourbon Sauce
Since my hubby went through all the effort of smoking meat which is a day long process I thought I would go the extra mile and make my own sauce to go with the pulled pork. I really liked the flavor of this sauce so I’m going to be keeping it in my recipe box. I’ve...
Coffee Lovers Breakfast
I’m not much of a coffee drinker, but when I do I like it super sweet and full of cream so it ends up looking like chocolate milk when I’m done. I like the iced coffee’s different places offered now a days so I was excited to see this new product from International...
Hot Wing Pizza
We had used up some hot wing sauce that I had gotten, problem was I didn’t taste it before I used it. We like spicy food don’t get me wrong, but we put this in the lava level of heat. My lips burned for a good 45 minutes after eating a hot wing. Holy moly!!! Paula...

Gulf Coast Steamed Shrimp with Champagne Vinegar Sauce
Nothing is better in the summer time then some BBQ shrimp and a nice salad. I really enjoyed the sauce of this dish. I took the leftover sauce and crawfish I had and mixed it with some pasta and that was also really good. If you have never emulsified a sauce before...
Frozen Lemonade with Coconut Rum
I really loved this recipe! I made it last weekend for Cinco de Mayo since usually at our dinner clubs we drink a lot of wine I didn’t want to make a heavy margarita so this was perfect. I’ll be making these this summer to sip on by the pool for sure! We changed up...
Piñata Cookies
Hope you have recovered from the weekend and Cinco de Mayo. I really wanted to post these last week, but as usual I ended up having a really busy week and didn’t get around to making these until Friday for our Cinco de Mayo dinner club Saturday night. These might be a...
Banana Bread Cobbler
I had some bananas that where about to be over ripe and instead of making the usual thing that comes to mind (banana bread) I thought I would give this recipe a try. It’s also egg free if you have an allergy. I really like how light the dessert came out. There’s just...
Strawberry Iced Tea
Since summer is creeping in I thought I would try some new drinks to sit by the pool. This one doesn’t have liquor, but you could easily add a little something something if you wanted. Mine didn’t look like the picture online here’s how it looked: I’m not sure what I...
