Ike update
We were very lucky during the storm. Started feeling the effects around Saturday morning at 3am then lost power at 4:45am. Power came back on around noon then lost phones and water pressure which came back later that night. Many neighborhoods around us are still...
Vacation Pictures
Thank you for everyone keeping us in your thoughts during the storm. We have started out with a pretty morning, but should start to see rain start soon it's getting dark outside.On a happy note I got my pictures sorted out, but still have trouble getting it down to...
Hurricane Ike
Due to the hurricane beelining straight for us I probably won't get to post anything until next week. If the power goes out I'll be cooking a lot of stuff on the grill and stove top. Thank goodness for my gas stove! I'm almost done with the vacation pictures so that...
5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake
So what do you do when it's late at night and you crave something sweet? Why you bake a cake in less then 5 minutes that's what. I got this recipe via a forward from a friend so no telling where it came from. I decided to give it a go. The problem in my house is that...
Pierre Hermé’s Chocolate Éclairs
It's that time of month again and I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am about this month's challenge! My mom's favorite dessert is eclairs and what perfect timing with her coming to town this month. I've wanted to make these for the longest time and even...
Alaska here I come!
My husband and I are off to tour the great land of Southcentral Alaska! I'm very excited about this trip and can't wait to see what Alaska has to offer. My fingers are crossed that Hurricane Gustav doesn't stop by my house while we're away. Hope everyone has a great...

BBQ, Peach Cobbler And A Relaxing Day
Sunday evening we were attending a family gathering and our job was making ribs and dessert. My husband did the ribs and I decided to make my mom's peach cobbler. The weather was perfect with no clouds in the sky so we laid out to work on our tan while the meat was...
Thai-Style Green Beans for Two
When I saw this recipe I knew I had to make it! Candy at The Courageous Cook made a simple Thai-Style Green Bean dish for Two. My husband went nuts for this and couldn't believe I didn't make more. Then again it is for 2 and we're supposed to be cutting down on how...
Jalapeno Corn Chowder
It's been a pretty rough week so far. My fridge died sometime over Monday night so Tuesday morning in my work clothes in the wee early hours I frantically clean out the fridge since it's trash day. Lucky I have a big upright freezer in the garage so I was able to save...
THE BEST LICK ICE CREAM CONTEST
It's summer time and if you're in Texas that means it's HOT! My mom let me try out her ice cream maker since she's not using it and while I had it I thought I would come up with a new flavor ice cream. I figure why not I've never made ice cream before so how hard can...
Lasagna Rolls
I like lasagna it's an easy make ahead meal and who doesn't like pasta? My husband has been bugging me to make him some lasagna so I thought I would try something new to make it look nice. I've been seeing lots of "stuffed lasagna pasta" turned up on it's side. It...
