Results of the neighborhood BBQ cookoff and grilled corn
Oh my what a busy month May has started out to be and it's almost over. I can't keep up with the days anymore, I keep asking my husband what day it is. I think I would die if I didn't have my calendar on my phone to keep up with everything!I meant to post this sooner,...
Rembering grandma
My dear grandmother passed away on Tuesday, May 12, 2009. I was able to see her the Saturday before and say goodbyes as she was headed to the hospital, not knowing how things would turn out for her. She was the one who was most supportive of all the kids in whatever...
Happy Birthday!
I wanted to wish my dear hubby a very happy birthday! As I was headed to my grandmother's funeral he was maning the neighborhood bbq cookoff and did me proud. (More details to come this week.) Let's just say he showed them who the grill master is. I wanted to make a...
Sesame-Crusted Turkey Mignons
I've had a rough week so there's a shortage of post instead of my normal three I've stretched out 1 post into 2. Last weekend we went to Corpus for mother's day and was able to see my grandparents. On Saturday my grandmother went into the hospital unable to breathe on...
Polenta with Cheese
Polenta makes a great side dish to any meal. I've always had it in restaurants but I've never made it at home myself. I used a recipe I had gotten from my mom, so I'm unsure of it's origins, but never the less it's really good. It's really given me the inspiration to...
Crabmeat Pasta
This is one of my favorite "go-to" recipes my mom used to make us growing up. It's easy to toss together and taste great reheated too. If you look at the pictures you may notice it looks like extra of everything. That's because I doubled the recipe to make enough for...
BBQ Baked Beans
Most of you know that I'm a volunteer durring the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. 2 years ago was the 75th Anniversary and named the "year of the volunteer" where they put together a cookbook with recipes from volunteers. I love the local cookbooks, nothing against...
Inspiration crushed
Happy Monday! We have another busy week and it seems it's like the next several weekends are booked as well. I swear summer is just as busy as Christmas for us. We have 21 birthdays in May and June! I better go stock up on cards this week. Sunday before last we did a...
Breakfast
I realized I haven't done a breakfast post in a while so I thought I would post one our favorites. My dad makes this every time we visit my parents so I started making it for my husband since he loves it so much. It's a traditional Mexican dish except our version uses...
Cheesecake
EKK! I forgot to post this yesterday. I've been swamped lately so I'm sorry for the lack of post. I'll be short on this, but I will say I LOVED this cheesecake. It turned out perfect and I can't wait to try other flavors with it. Here's how I wrapped my pan with the...
Spicy Dinner Side Dishes
My mother in law joined us for dinner this past Sunday for our weekly "Sunday Steak Night". I thought I would try a new side dish inspired by a dinner we had during our trip to the Grand Canyon. I usually go through the trouble of seasoning my potato Au gratin and...
Creme Brulee
As advanced as technology has become I don't understand why someone would waste their time to create viruses, do something positive with your time! My computer was infected with "one of the worst" that the computer store has ever seen and they still can't get it off...
