Feta Shrimp Soup in a Bread Bowl
Happy Friday! Rodeo has been a blast so far. Kenny Chesney was wonderful as usual and the night before Dierks Bentley had a great show, yet I'm kind of surprised there wasn't many people there at all for Dierks. I took advantage of that and got some great shots of the...
Peaches and Cream Cocktail
It's rodeo season here in Houston until March 21st so lots of things going on. Looks like we'll be out there 16 of the 20 nights. Just thinking about it makes me what to take a nap! Last night it kicked off with Alan Jackson and tonight is Dierks Bentley and tomorrow...
Beer Bread and Weekend Happenings
We took it kind of easy this past weekend since rodeo starts full swing on Tuesday with Alan Jackson kicking things off. Friday night we stayed in and watched a movie then Saturday my hubby had a class to take so I went shopping and enjoyed the lovely weather we had....
Sesame Tofu (or chicken) and HLSR BBQ Cookoff
Another Friday without meat for me. It's a good thing I ate myself full last night at the HLSR (Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo) BBQ Cookoff. This is the most insane event I've ever been to and I'm surprised I'm able to function this early! We usually go the first...
Praline Yams
Another favorite side dish of mine is candied yams. This time I tried a different version of it and made them more southern like pralines. They're super easy to toss together ahead of time and great for any meal. It's the holiday's so your allowed to have all the...
Spicy Cornbread Stuffing
I wanted to go back and share some recipes I made at Thanksgiving that I ran out of time and didn't get to post. This was a huge hit at our table and I'll be making it again for sure. It's a little different then the traditional stuff, but that's what helps your...
Sushi Rolls
This Friday kicks of Lent and it's usually a tough time of year. First off it's on a Friday when we usually go out and second there's the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo BBQ cook off next weekend (do you know how hard it is to eat just sides and bread while everyone...
Mongolian Beef with Peanut Noodles
It's another busy week and I love quick meals like this to serve when we're in a hurry. If there's one thing we love to eat it's Asian food. We usually eat it out, but every once in a while I use the seasoning packets for a quick week night meal. I had taken out a...

Last chance for $50 Gift Card and A Day at the Beach
I'm wishing I was at the beach away from all this nasty weather we've been having. We're moving back into the 50's woohoo! On the plus side while I've been stuck inside I've managed to paint our bedroom, living room, kitchen, game room, extra bedroom and bathroom. Yes...
Reminder about $50 Grocery Giveaway and Cajun Crab Soup
Holy smackers what's up with this weather?!?!? We're not getting out of the 40's this week and I'm freezing! My family up north would be laughing at me if they heard me complaining about the 40's. I live in Texas we're supposed to have warm weather not this cold rain...
