This salad was a big hit at the Superbowl party I brought it to last weekend. It is technically a salad, but a lot of us ate it like a dip with tortilla chips instead. I ate mine over a little mound of crushed chips. The chips add a nice crunch and saltiness. The flavors in this [...]

 Print This PostOlives. A lot of people either love them or hate them. I am not in either group. I like them in certain dishes, but not others. I like some kinds of olives, but not others. I like some raw, and others I prefer to be baked on a pizza. I am a mystery. There is just [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostMy Aunt Susan gave me an incredible recipe for artichoke dip a few years ago when we were visiting relatives in Richvale, California. I had a craving for it this week, but couldn’t find the recipe. After making this dip I was putting some things away in the study and I miraculously found Susan’s recipe! [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostThis past weekend was one of the best I’ve had in quite a long time. During our time in Waco we met some of our very best friends. There’s something about being in the trenches together that brings people closer than they would have been otherwise, and this is what I have Baylor law school [...] By CarrieZ |

Print This PostWith the mound of shredded zucchini I could have made 3 batches (6 loaves) of zucchini bread. I could have done this and frozen loves, or given them to friends. But lets face it, I just don’t have that many friends and my freezer just couldn’t take the load! If I would have been thinking more [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostIt makes me so very happy that I will never be forced to buy pre-packaged hummus or pita chips again! Freedom from store bought foods! Ok, so there may be a time when buying a bag of pita chips will be necessary. BUT, if I have the time to make my own, then I will [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostThis is time consuming, frustrating, quite prep intensive, and not easy. The resulting dish is delicious and worth every drop of sweat and shed tear. Summer rolls are one of those things that seems so daunting that most people, or maybe just me, do not even want to attempt to make them at home. Why spend [...] |
