Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
(Photo from Kraft Foods) Strawberries where recently on sale and I had this simple ice cream recipe I’ve been wanting to try so I thought I would give it a shot. I wish I hadn’t mixed up the berries and graham crackers in the food processor because it didn’t give me...

The Casserole Queens Cookbook Giveaway
Saturday the Casserole Queens where in town so I headed up to HEB and got my signed copy of their new book, had them sign my lucky apron and also added signatures to my Bobby Flay Throwdown book. I can’t tell you how sweet these ladies are! They had 3 samples out from...
Grilled Lobster
One of my favorite treats is lobster. We don’t get a huge supply here in Texas, but usually in the Spring time they go on sale and we will stock up and freeze them so we can have them all summer long. We enjoy them grilled best. They can quickly be over cooked, just...
Avocado Corn Dip
Over 4th of July one of my neighbors brought over this fantastic dip! I kept eating it and couldn’t stop. It’s a fantastic summer dip that has good stuff in it and isn’t loaded with fattening items. The avocado makes it creamy and the roasted corn adds all the...
Banana Oatmeal Shake
Trying to sneak in some healthy options for breakfast I found this recipe online using oatmeal. You have to blend the heck out of it if you have picky texture people like my hubby, but we both really enjoyed this. It makes the perfect amount for 2 people. I really...
Blueberry Jam
My mom was recently in town and brought me some jam she made. I LOVED how simple this is to make! You can puree the blueberries if you want a smoother consistency or leave it more chucky like we did. Either way it’s fresh and couldn’t be easier to make. Blueberry Jam...
Creamy Jalapeno Dip like Chuy’s
Houston has some great restaurants and one of my favorites for Tex-Mex is Chuy’s. They have this amazing jalapeno ranch dip that they bring out with their salsa. I admit I hold myself back from drinking this stuff, but boy is it good! I’ve seen several recipes online...
Tostada Cups
With the holiday’s fast approaching, I thought I would share one of my favorite ways to present appetizers. These tostada cups are really sturdy and look a lot better than those store brand chips. They’re really easy to make ahead of time too and then fill them the...
Hungarian Paprika Chicken
I really like Eva Longoria’s book, but I have to say this recipe didn’t grab me 100% it tasted like a stroganoff and really bland. As long as you add a bunch of Mrs. Dash, Cajun seasoning or something to it then it’s edible just not my favorite. Probably doesn’t help...
