I started a new job last week which I’m absolutely loving. Problem is, I forgot how exhausting a new job is — Having your mind ON constantly to absorb everything, meeting a million new people and trying to remember their names, figuring out what in the world you’re doing. Throw in the fact that in [...]

I love summer time grilling. Quick, easy and delicious dinners in a matter of minutes. I frequently marinade chicken after dinner for the next day so when I get home from work, all I need to do is fix up some veggies to toss on the grill along with the already prepped chicken. Its fabulously [...]

We have a couple weeks of spring left before it will be too hot to enjoy dining on the deck. I’m really not ready for another ridiculously hot Texas summer but considering the fact that its already in the mid-80′s and we haven’t even reached May, means that 90/100 degree weather is just around the [...]

Spring is upon us. We’re hitting temps in the 80′s already. Sigh. I have a feeling that we’re in for a short Spring this year and a long hot summer. I’m not ready. I hate Texas summers. I dread it every year! But for now, I will try to enjoy what remains of decent weather [...]

The first time I saw this recipe, I knew it would be a winner. For starters, one of my favorite bloggers Elly blogged about this delish meal. Second, you really can’t go wrong with this blend of ingredients. I love ancho chile powder!! I actually stopped buying regular chile powder about a year ago. Ancho [...]

I love this time of year. Fall is so wonderful. We usually don’t have “fall” in Texas. I joke that we have summer and not-summer. And that’s usually about right. This year though, the weather has been fabulous overall in October/November thus far. We’ve had our windows open almost daily for weeks!  Its so wonderful!! [...]

I mentioned in a recent post that I started weight watchers. I’ve been “trying” to lose weight for the last year or so…. counting calories off and on, “going” to the gym. Whatever it was that I was doing was failing. More like the lack of what I was doing. I finally had the last [...]

I have had the hardest time getting a decent photo of Chicken & Dumplings! I’ve been trying to get this recipe for what seems like a good year (seriously). And this photo doesn’t do it justice. But in the meantime, it gave me time to refine the recipe even further and I think I’m fully [...]

I’ll be honest and say that the flavor of this dish is not exceptional; its very simple. After all, there’s really only paprika and a bit of salt & pepper. But it was a deliciously simple dinner. I’ll definitely make it again – hubby really enjoyed it and it was so easy. Its perfect for [...]

I haven’t made these in probably a year and I’d forgotten just how good they are and what an easy meal they make. I usually avoid processed foods like canned biscuits but these are just so good! One of my favorite things about this recipe is how adaptable it is. I’ve included the basic recipe [...]

These enchiladas are by no means authentic, but boy are they good. They don’t exactly photography very well either but some of the best tasting things don’t exactly look all that great Oh and they’re great reheated so they make a great lunch for work! I’m not sure where this recipe originated. My grandmother has [...]

About a week ago, I saw this recipe in Elly’s blog. It looked simply delicious and simple. I’m still working on getting the house organized (and work is ridiculously busy) so I decided this week would be the perfect time to give this recipe a try as I don’t have much time or energy for [...]

Spicy Chicken Stir Fry

Stir fry can be made with a wide variety of vegetables. My husband is rather picky when it comes to veggies and to be honest I’m surprised he ate this! Napa cabbage would have been the safer choice for him but I wanted something I little healthier so I made it with bok choy and [...]

I’ve mentioned how much hubby and I enjoy green chiles. So while we can pick up green chiles at the store, we’ve gotta cook with them! When you buy green chiles, you need to roast them before using them (we do so on the grill)! They’re also very easy to freeze, which is great since [...]
