I remember my mom making beef stroganoff a lot as a kid. She may correct me and say she made it rarely, so maybe I just remember it really well. Either way, I loved it. Tender egg noodles covered in creamy sauce, and the chunks of beef and mushrooms. My mom always used ground beef [...]
Oatmeal raisin is Ben’s favorite cookie, and its definitely in my Top 5. I have tried many recipes for this cookie during our relationship, hoping to find the ultimate cookie. I always find myself returning to the Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe on the underside of the Quaker Oats container. I tried something [...]
Happy Valentine’s Day! What better way to celebrate than with big pink plastic lollipop lips? Valentine’s weekend was great. Our good friends from law school made the trip to Amarillo to spend the weekend. We began Saturday with pastries from The Village Bakery. After breakfast we headed out to Palo Duro Canyon for a [...]
Check out what I ate for dinner last night…
I absolutely love these crisp, sweet and savory cookies. I found the recipe years ago in a Martha Stewart magazine and have made them quite a few times since.

I was on a “roll” with rolled food…get it? On a “roll”? So I decided that I would follow stromboli with rugelach. Ok, anyway…I have never made rugelach. Traditionally this dessert is made with apricot jam, but I am not a fan of apricot, so I used raspberry jam and walnuts. No raisins. I [...]
This recipe is from Big Red Kitchen. I saw the Stromboli on her blog and immediately got hungry, so this is what was for dinner a few days ago and last night. I like the idea of food rolled food. The layers created by rolling dough around delicious filling are wonderful! The first time around [...]
I like being able to cook dinner without any time constraints. At times, I truly enjoy preparing a meal that has more than just a few components and takes me more than a few hours to complete. Call me crazy! I don’t have kids (if we don’t count the puppy) so I’m able to [...]
These brownie like cookies are decadent and delicious. A perfect partner for a cold glass of milk. The chocolate cookie is packed with white chocolate chunks and buttery macadamia nuts. Once baked, the cookies have a crackly top and moist fudgy centers. I chopped the white chocolate into fairly large [...]
