Chicken & Spaghetti Squash
I still want to keep with my New Year’s resolution from last year of trying new ingredients and giving the ones I say ehh to another shot. We like squash, but I’ve never made spaghetti squash before. I’ve seen it in magazines before and it always looked to fancy....
Frangelico Hazelnut Martini
What a busy weekend. With the help of a few neighbors we started a monthly dinner club and this past Saturday was our first dinner at our house. 6 couples doesn’t sound like a lot until you realize my dishes are all sets of 8 not 12 and umm where’s everyone gonna sit?...
Spinach Soufflé Stuffed Mushrooms
I made these for a dinner party a while back and hadn’t gotten around to posting them. It’s a neat combo that' wasn’t too bad. The flavor was a little bland so be sure to add a dash of seasoning on top. Spinach Soufflé Stuffed Mushrooms (Adpated from Family Circle)...
Pan-Roasted Chicken Breast and Frothed Parmesan
I’ve never made a foam before and was dying to see what all the fuss was about. Top Chef has someone making a foam in every episode it seems and I had seen Michael Symon make this recipe on Cook Like an Iron Chef which seemed pretty easy so I gave it a shot. If you’ve...
Crispy, Smoked Chicken Wings and Legs
Is it wrong that I did my own throw down with my self using Chef Symon’s wings as my opponent HaHa? If there’s one person I would love to meet at the moment it would be Michael Symon. I really like his style of cooking and his appreciation of food. I have another...
Bacon Wrapped Asparagus, Jack Daniel’s BBQ Glaze and a Jack Daniel’s Whiskey Barrel Charcoal and Smoker Blocks Giveaway
One of my new favorite side dishes to make when we have the grill going are these bacon wrapped asparagus. They are so easy to make and full of flavor. First I trim the asparagus and clean them. Then drizzle some olive oil on top and sprinkle with seasoning (I used...
Beef with Mushrooms and Red Wine
Are you kidding me? Temps are in the 30’s and 40’s all week that’s too cold for Texas haha. I swear if my palm trees die again I’m not gonna be a happy person! Gonna have to win a big prize from a contest to replace them instead of getting a fun new kitchen toy....
Cheese Straws
My mother in law LOVES cheese straws. If there was an expert on them she would be the person to talk to. I‘ve never made them and when I saw this recipe I thought OMG there’s nothing to it I can do this! They do make a lot so I might be saving this to make again for...
Broccoli-Mascarpone Soup
I’m a fan of broccoli cheese soup so I thought I would enjoy this soup when I read the ingredients. Turns out it was a huge flop for us. Hubby didn’t want to finish it and I ended up dumping a pot of soup out. It really kills me to do that, but I really couldn’t eat...
Tortelli di Ricotta
I really really really love pasta, there’s so many ways to change it up and make it a re-invented dish. If you don’t want to make your own tortelli then go ahead and buy some pre-made, then toss it with the squash and butter sauce and it’s to die for, I promise. Hubby...
Green Punch and New Year’s Resolutions
I hope everyone’s New Year’s Eve was filled with fun and all you hoped for. We had a cold front come through that evening and I’m so happy it didn’t rain. The wind blew just enough to clear the air of the smoke from our fireworks before we set off the next batch. With...
Coffee Filter Wreath
I haven’t posted a food related craft in a while so here’s a perfect one that doubles for holiday’s like Christmas and Valentine’s Day. It would even look good for a wedding or bridal shower. I think I’m gonna make another one with brown coffee filters like Centsible...
