  I first blogged this recipe in 2007. It blows my mind away that I’ve been going at blogging for over 5 years now. I really really don’t know where the time goes. What started as a little way of sharing recipes with just a handful of friends has really grown over the years. Oh [...]

This recipe comes to you courtesy of my friend, Jill of Baby Rabies. She just got back from BlogHer; But back when she first started planning for BlogHer she found a restaurant in NY that she really wanted to go to for the purpose of Frito Pie. I told her it was a shame that [...]

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 [...]

Sometimes you just really crave childhood favorites. I feel like I’ve been craving childhood favorites a lot late. Perhaps I’ve been a bit nostalgic lately as I approach yet another birthday? I’ll officially be closer to 30 than 20 this year… 2-6. Its hard to believe. Remember those days as a child where being in [...]

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 [...]

Work. Its that pesky thing I do from 8am-5pm every day. It pays the bills. Unfortunately, I don’t like my day job and some days it really gets to me. I get home tired and a bit depressed (I’m working on getting out of the position but God is trying to teach me patience ). [...]

Better for you hamburger helper — that’s what we decided this recipe was. Reminiscent of hamburger helper but without all the preservatives and ingredients you can’t pronounce. Creamy, cheesy, and delicious! I could probably live off this pasta for lunches for weeks on end. Its so good! I love recipes like this that become instant [...]

Its cold outside! 33 degrees which is chilly by Texas standards. I’m wearing a scarf and boots & coat today I love it though. I love January & February. They’re my favorite months I think because its the only “winter” we get in Texas. Actually this year has been pretty cool, but typically we don’t [...]

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 [...]

Spaghetti with meat sauce is probably one of my favorite dishes. Unfortunately, I have a hubby who doesn’t like tomatoes so spaghetti with tomato sauce is rarely on the menu. I typically make spaghetti to package for lunches to take to work for myself. I wanted to cut back on the calories in meat sauce [...]

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!! [...]

Her blog was recently chosen by the editors of thebump.com for the best Baby Journal Blog. (Congrats Jill!) Although, I have to say [...]

Have I discussed Weight Watchers lately? I’m down 24 pounds since we started in June. I’ve been very bad about going to the gym since vacation in August so the loss has slowed down significantly; I was losing ~2lbs a week in the begginning but not going to the gym has resulted in .5-1 lb [...]

We got a cold front (aka its in the 70s and not the 90s), which means its time to start fixing soup!! I knew it was time to whip up some White Chicken Chili! I developed this recipe over a year ago and it very quickly became a family favorite. Its probably my favorite soup [...]
