Chocolate Rum Cookies
I’m pretty sure I need more than just “rum cookies” to get me through this time! I did so good not drinking or stress eating the entire time, and I’m happy to report my family is safe and dry, but may of our friends around us are not. I’m going to do a few scheduled...
Sautéed Chicken with Quick Mole Sauce and Cilantro Rice
One of my hubby’s favorite things in the world of flavors is cilantro and mole sauce so I took a huge risk with this dinner! I like mole, but I’m usually not a huge cilantro fan except for Chuy’s cilantro rice. This dish is not only amazingly good, it’s a quick dinner...
Grapefruit & Mint Gin and Tonic
With the storm headed our way today I bring a cocktail in the time of the unknown of watching and waiting. Prayers to everyone in the path and those who will be effected by the storm. We have never been a huge fan of gin. Back in the day we only used it to make Long...
Slow Baked Boneless Beef Short Ribs
This is the first time in years I’ve had to go to the store and buy meat. These boneless short ribs where sliced to what looked like brisket more than the big block I’m used to from the steer meat. The recipe is easy and tasted really good. I served it over some home...
Arugula Skirt Steak Salad with Caramelized Pears, Pecans, and Gorgonzola
I love a flavorful salad and this one hits all the right notes. It’s combining the grilling season of summer with a touch of Fall that I long for! The only change I made was grilling the steak rather than cooking in a pan. Arugula Skirt Steak Salad with Caramelized...
Man Dip Appetizers
I recently came across these dips in Walmart and decided it would make a quick short cut appetizer. Besides who doesn’t love a name like “man dip” when you’re serving it to a bunch of guys? Here’s the thing, the recipe works with any pre-made dip, however the man dip...
Warm Salted Caramel Banana Pudding
I love simple desserts that finish a meal without being too heavy. I also hate when making it on the spot I mess up! While trying to caramelize the sugar this happened:I started again and then got impatient and didn’t let it caramelize because I had wasted so much...
Slow Cooker Kalua Pig
A friend of mine has made this for us before and we fell in love with it. It doesn’t get any easier than this, but I warn you go light on the salt, because it can get a little salty. Here’s what I used, I think ours was little salty due to the chipotle sauce being a...
Mongolian Glazed Grilled Steak
Overall the flavor of this steak isn’t bad it just didn’t wow us. I think part of the problem is the sirloin steaks, cut of meat really can change things for me. I think if I was to do this again I would cut the steak up into skewers and then use the glaze on it....
Tortilla Roll Ups
I recently made these for a pool party. I think they would be great for Christmas time with the red and green colors, but either way you’ll want to test these out they are so yummy!! The kids and adults ate them up. I left out the olives, but that’s just personal...
Banyan Beef Skewer
The post says this is served at Bengal Barbecue, Disneyland, although I have not had it there, I still wanted to give it a shot. The spice level is higher on this recipe, so if you don’t like things spicy be sure you adjust the seasoning. We personally LOVED this...
Grilled Sweet Bacon Brussel Sprouts
When we grilled the shrimp that I posted on Friday, we also made this easy side dish along side on the grill. There’s really no recipe. I just used a bag of frozen Brussels sprouts, brown sugar and some chopped bacon. Heat up the griddle plate and add the bacon....
