I’ve had chili on the mind lately. Its such a good hearty comfort food for a cold day. The end of winter is quickly approaching as we steady into 60 degree weather. I was flipping through my copy of The Food You Crave by Ellie Krieger and saw this recipe. And I knew I wanted [...]

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 [...]

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 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 [...]

Fall is already on my mind and summer is not yet over, not even close. We just got back from a week long vacation in beautiful Colorado. The change of scenery and weather was just what I needed. Can you tell work has been busy? I haven’t been blogging and I haven’t left comments on [...]

Grilled Corn Chowder

28 September 2007

I was inspired to make some Corn Chowder by Elly and Peabody. Both of their corn chowders looked delicious. Summer is coming to an end, or so I’d like to think (I live in Texas after all which means it could be hot clear through Thanksgiving or later). But with thoughts of fall on the [...]
