Sushi Bowls
We love sushi, but I don’t always have time to make it with our crazy busy schedule. I had this idea while walking past the sushi station at HEB why don’t I just make like easier and make a sushi bowl rather than going through the trouble of making a roll. I bought...
Sweet & Spicy Peach Glazed Salmon
Last minute dinners don’t get any easier than this. Friday I posted the broccoli side dish I made with this salmon. I added some avocado I had leftover from tacos on the top of my fish. I prepped the fish that morning by cutting the filet in half and adding the...
Asian Cashew Crisp
I’m trying to do no carbs after 3pm and let me tell you how hard that is for an Italian girl who loves her pasta and breads! This meal was super easy to prep ahead of time then pop the broccoli in the oven while I was grilling the fish. I haven’t used coconut oil...
Texas Almond Cake
Hands down one of the things I look forward to my mother in law making around the holidays is this almond cake! She usually makes it without the almonds in the icing and I think after making it I would leave them out too. If you’re looking for a quick cake to bring to...
Baby Food Dog Treats for Mocha’s 8th Birthday (2 years posting late eek)
My sweet baby girl turned 10 this year. She’s the princess of our family who everyone loves to be around. I found this post I had ready and never got around to posting 2 years ago. This is a great recipe if you have kiddos moving out of the baby jar food stage....
Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo Tortellini
I have mixed feelings about this dish. It’s super easy and filling. I just wasn’t wowed by it. It seemed a little one note like. We added some addition Cajun seasoning which helped, but I feel like it needs another flavor added in or texture. Slow Cooker Chicken...
Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Potatoes
Sometime dinners come together a little easier when you have the help of a crockpot. The potatoes came out really tender and it’s really easy to toss together in advance then start the crockpot when you ready. Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Potatoes (Adapted from Damn...
Carrot Cake Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
This is a WAY overdo post! I made these back in March of 2016 for a good friend for her surprise birthday. Her favorite flavor is carrot cake and it’s been YEARS since I’ve made a carrot cake. I had to try out a new recipe and I’m glad I did because these little...
Carrabba’s Spiedino di Mare
I was excited to try this recipe as it sounded like a different way to do scallops. We should have put them on skewers. Half of the coating came off on the grill from using the tongs. I think if you used a grill pan and did them stove top they would come out much...
Creamy Bacon Grits
Today’s post is kind of a 2 part post. I’ll show you the grits today and on the next post you’ll see the scallops I did. Overall the grits where good. I used home made bacon which I’ll show in an upcoming post this year. (It’s actually easier to do than you think!)...
Grilled Lemon Garlic Zucchini
We love zucchini and this is an easy one to do. We grilled them along with scallops we had that night and they turned out wonderful. Grilled Lemon Garlic Zucchini (Adapted from Damn Delicious) Printer Friendly Version 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 3...
Best Black Eyed Pea Cheesy Sausage Cornbread
I don’t know about you, but it doesn’t hurt to try a little old wise tales on New Years Day. We eat the ham, black eyed peas and cabbage, all in hopes to have health, wealth and luck. I’m not a huge fan of black eyed peas so I usually suck it up and take a big...
