It’s here it’s here!!
Today is a long post, but have several things I couldn't wait to share. 🙂 My husband is glad to have his beer fridge back and I no longer feel like I'm living in a dorm. As Candy said I'll probably win one and go figure there's a contest I just saw with a chance to...
Oktoberfest
Due to hurricane Ike, the Texas Rice Festival in Winnie, Texas was canceled this past weekend which opened up another opportunity on an invite to head to Fredricksberg, Texas for their Oktoberfest with a couple of our friends. We had a great time and ate way too much....
Amaretto Cheescake Bars
I need some liquor after the past month I've had. Last night I had my moment with my fridge and said a final goodbye. After a month and 6 days without a fridge we're finally getting a new one! I feel like I'm almost qualified to build my own fridge now after...

Breakfast Tacos
I usually make a stock pile of these when my husband goes hunting that way he can wrap up what he wants in foil and heat it over the fire and they're quick and easy to eat. I decided to make some this past weekend to use up some eggs I had. What I like most is that...
Beef and Lime Rice Taco Salad
I've been busy trying out new ideas I had for the upcoming rice festivals and had one that was ok but can't figure out what's missing. My inspiration was a taco salad and the recipe came out good it's just missing a flavor I can't put my finger on. For sure the taco...
National Pecan Cookie Day
Growing up I was spoiled with my parents home cooking and learned so much by helping out in the kitchen. I'm not sure what sparked our interest in entering contest, but I remember getting very interested when I was in high school. I was the Treasury person of our...
