Apple Muffins
I feel like the days have been flying by lately! Summer is here and I’m excited because that means it’s time to enjoy the pool and waste away the days by the grill relaxing. Of course after yard work and working all week. Until the weekend rolls around here’s a yummy...
Maple Buttermilk Pie
I don’t make a lot of pies and I really should they are easy, but they never come out as pretty as when my mom makes them. I can’t remember the last time I had a buttermilk pie, it’s such a simple pie, but I really like them. If you have a good recipe for one I would...
Hello Kitty Party
Let me introduce you to a little princess who LOVES Hello Kitty! This is Nyssa who just turned 7 this past weekend! She’s the daughter of my best friend and a super girly girl who loves accessories, clothes, pink and anything else you can think of that’s girly! I had...
Lavender Pasta
Right outside of town there’s several lavender farms in the area. I haven’t been able to go to any of them yet, because I always forget which month it is that they harvest and end up missing it. The lavender starts to bloom around mid May and continues through early...
Spinach Artichoke Dip
One of my favorite dips has to be spinach artichoke dip! It has to been done right too, I’ve had some really bad ones in my time. This recipe by far is the best I’ve come across. Since I’ve had a lot of request for it I thought I would share it. I don’t have step by...
Cheese Flan
Friday night we attended a tequila tasting at a new restaurant in town. I walked in not a big fan of tequila, but walked out with a new appreciation for the spirit. I did a full write up HERE if you want to take a look into the world of tequila. Dinner club was last...
Roasted Veggie Wraps
While you have the grill going this summer you’ll want to try one of these tasty treats. They’re filling and work great for any party. I originally tried these at a baby shower (click HERE for details). I wasn’t sure about them at first, but then I got hooked. I told...
Mushroom Omelets
Everyday I get up and make breakfast for my hubby before he goes to work. My friends think I’m crazy, but I actually enjoy it. I had some mushrooms to use up so I decided to make a mushroom omelet for breakfast. Mushroom Omelet (Created by Finding Inspiration in Food)...
Updates
It’s been a madhouse around my place lately. We have been out of town more a couple of weeks in Taos, New Mexico. Kind of a work-vacation, but still a nice break from the Texas heat. You can see all the pictures and review of our trip on my other new blog A Traveling...
Fall-off-the-Bone Short Rib and Slaw Sandwich
I’m trying a bunch of short rib recipes lately I know, but I’m trying to use up items in the freezer before we get our next freezer full from the steer we bought this year. This recipe is ok, I liked the slaw, but for some reason the meat was chewy, I probably did...
Drunken Shortribs
This is one of those set it and forget it recipes. I really like the way our pot roast comes out and I enjoyed the shortribs I made not that long ago (click HERE for crockpot shortribs) so I combined the two to make this recipe. Loved how this came out and it’s easy...
