Breakfast Enchiladas and kickoff of Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo
Today's inspiration comes from when I was flipping through a magazine at the nail place last week and came across a recipe for breakfast enchiladas. I thought it was pretty clever. Once again - why I can't come up with these ideas is beyond me! I thought this would be...
For the Love of Chocolate
I loved this month's challenge. How can you not love an easy cake that takes no time at all to throw together? The cake turned out rich and moist, but it's a heavy cake. I thought it tasted great with the home made ice cream of course my hubby liked them seperate and...
Chocolate Graham Cracker Cupcakes with Toasted Marshmallow
Today is one of my best buds birthday so first off Happy Birthday Laura!! She's a crafty person like me and recently started a blog to track things going on in her life and to post items she's made. She has a giveaway going right now, but hurry because the deadline is...
Blueberry Pecan Cream Cheese Spread
This past weekend I completed my concealed handgun class and worked on my craft room trying to get a little more organized and got a little crafting done. For less then $10 I installed 3 rods below the window to hold all my ribbon. I hate not knowing what I have and...
Rich and Creamy Creamed Spinach
Happy Friday everyone! It's been a long week trying to get back up to speed after being sick. I'm a huge fan of creamed spinach and the time I wanted it most was when it had been taken off the menu and from the stores due to the outbreak. Go figure when you can't have...
Disney American Idol trip recap
It's great to be back home, but over all we had a blast on the trip! It was top notch all the way and we were very well taken care of. We stayed at the Wilderness Lodge at Disney and were given a 3 day park hopper pass. The day of the American Idol event we were...

Weekend Recap
Oh my how this past weekend was a blur. I didn't get to cook or pack for my trip this week at all because I was on the run the whole weekend. Saturday I had to work a rodeo event taking pictures of washer pitcher contestants. Then took the dog to the vet and grabbed...
Seared Scallops with Shallots and Coconut Cream
I'm always inspired by fancy food dishes that almost looks too good to eat. This recipe is one I found from an old magazine. It is really pretty to look at, but honestly doesn't taste like anything. You almost have to wait till the scallops get cold to put the whipped...
Hot Fresh Bread
I've never tackled making bread unless it can be added to my bread machine and I hit a button and my house fills with the aroma that when it's done no matter how hot it is I have the butter ready and I need a slice right away. I did make pretzels and I have done pizza...
Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse
One of my favorite desserts is a mousse and when done right it melts in your mouth. This past weekend we hosted a dinner and this was the dessert I chose to serve along with some chocolate covered strawberries. Hosting a dinner party is stressful enough so having...
