Marsala Chicken-and-Mushroom Casserole
This isn’t too bad of a recipe, mine took a little extra baking time then the recipe called for. Hubby still ate it for lunches, but prefers it the traditional way. My little kitchen helper is determined not to slow down so mommy can take a picture so I apologize for...
Paula Deen’s Crockpot Mac and Cheese
After making this I have to say the flavor is good, but once you cook the noodles for 6 minutes they where already at the point where you could eat them and then adding on another 2 hours in the crockpot give it that texture like a restaurant that made it in...
Easy Mint Chocolate Cookie Trifles
This is a super easy dessert to whip up. It’s so easy I kindof skimmed reading the recipe and forgot to add some cookie crumbs as a layer. Oops! It still tasted great and looks fancy. Easy Mint Chocolate Cookie Trifles (Adapted from Cookie Dough and Oven Mint) ...
Arepas
I’m obsessed with the show Eat Street and saw that there was a truck that made these tasty sandwiches called Arepas. I knew I had to find a recipe to try these little babies out. Luckily I have a friend from Venezuela (shout out to Sara!!!) that I could ask for some...
Beef and Blue Sliders
Football season is here and I love doing easy dishes that you can make ahead of time and have less fuss while you are trying to entertain. Honestly these where good, but the meat was so good we ended up using the rest as tacos and hubby loved it that way better than...
Hatch Green Chile Crab Cake Eggs Benedict
One of my favorite flavors to come at the end of summer is the Hatch Green Chile festival. I bought some green chile crab cakes from the HEB seafood department and baked per the directions. While they where baking I made the hollandaise sauce (click HERE for recipe)....
Grilled Romaine Hearts with Caesar Vinaigrette
I love grilling everything I can. If you haven’t grilled lettuce before you are missing out. This time I made it on the gas grill, but I have to be honest I like the smoky taste it takes on from a charcoal or wood grill. Either way this dressing has a nice zip which...
Copy cat dreamsicle from Mo’s a Place for Steaks
During Houston Restaurant Weeks we went to one of our favorite places for steaks, Mo’s. One of the drinks we tried was a creamscile and all we could think was this would be a great summer cocktail by the pool. I recreated it at home and the first time it came out a...
Lobster Mac and Cheese
Truth be told I’ve made this 3 times now and I can’t get enough!! Nor can I remember to take pictures to complete this post. I want to share this so I figure I’ll go with what I’ve got and maybe update pictures later on for you. What elevates this dish is not cooking...
Mongolian Beef Satay
OMG I just found my next go to party food! This is really really REALLY good! The meat has tons of flavor and you can make the dipping sauce as spicy as you want. The great thing is the meat tasted good with and without the sauce. I’ll be making these come football...
Chocolate Coconut Malibu Rum Cake
Nothing beats the Summer heat like a nice cool dessert. Of course it doesn’t hurt when it has booze and coconut added to it too. I love these flavors and it makes the cake good down easier without making it feel like a rich heavy cake. Chocolate Coconut Malibu Rum...
