Are you in love with the tasty burgers? Why not give a try at your kitchen? Besides being cheap, the taste of the perfect burger is irresistible. With the nicely ground-up meat, a person can chew it properly and digest it in no time. Moreover, the well-balanced burger works as the overbalanced mix of proteins, […]

There is just something about the combination of fresh herbs intertwined with warm and creamy ricotta cheese. It’s comforting and hearty but not overly filling and I think I could eat copious amounts of it –– especially in these Herbed Ricotta Cheese Zucchini Rolls. Zucchini, on the other hand, has not always been a favorite “thing” of mine. As a […]

Oh boy, summer is here. We are only one week into our summer vacation time and I am already having to double check what the day is. This past Sunday at the farmers market made me realize –– oh, yes, there’s the heat that Texas is known for and it felt like our first real hot day. […]

You know the saying “Go Big or Go Home” –– well, that is how I feel about this sandwich. It’s the real deal big meal and comes together fairly easily. The Knife & Fork Meatball Sandwich can be served on a French baguette or if you want a slightly softer option try an Italian loaf either way […]

Sweet Potato Cake with Chocolate Pecan Glaze ~ Life is busy. Life is crazy. Life is non-stop and certainly doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon so … I took a moment (or two) and made a cake. Perhaps it was to celebrate all of the good things in life and the heartwarming compassion […]

March has been one hectic month, filled with birthday celebrations, house guests, SXSW mayhem and don’t forget spring break including a fun, yet exhausting, trip to Legoland –– creating a little March Madness of our own. All of these happenings and adventures have caused us to eat out a LOT this month. This dining out […]

I think it’s just part of living in Texas that one must go to the gulf coast shoreline at some point during the hot summer months to catch a whiff of the salty beach air. We have been to a few spots over the years but hadn’t made to the popular Port Aransas coast until about […]

What seems to be almost a lifetime ago is when we ventured out to the beautiful island of Maui for a relaxing getaway from life’s stresses. One of my favorite things during this trip was the smell of the flower encumbered air when you got off the plane that instantly put you into the “relax” mode […]

I gotta tell you before moving to Texas I never had a pimento cheese anything. Crazy, right? I didn’t even know such a thing existed and that, well … it was a thing. I first tried this mysterious, yet intriguing, combination of flavors at a party. It was a simply cheese-y goodness spread between two slices of good ole’ white […]

When you have kids, you have many “events” to attend. Most of these functions include a serving of pizza along with a cake or some cupcakes. Most of the pizza served at these functions is delivered and the parents running the event don’t really have a lot of options to choose from. After 8+ years of […]
