While in college at Texas A&M in College Station, I used to meet a friend at a pizza place near campus that served pizza by the slice called Antonio’s. I always got the margherita. Nice thick slices of fresh mozzarella, perfect slices of red tomato and fresh basil on top of a delicious crust. If [...]
In preparing for our move to Houston I am trying to get rid of things. I have a stack of old Everyday Food magazines that I’ve kept on a bookshelf for years, but haven’t used them for recipes in quite some time. I decided to go through them, rip out recipes I could see myself [...]
Summer means an abundance of fresh basil. Fresh basil means fresh pesto. So, summer must mean fresh pesto. There are so many things you can do with pesto. Spread on baguette slices and garnish with a slice of tomato…make it even better with a piece of fresh mozzarella. Toss it with warm pasta. Mix with [...]
This is my first mobile post, so forgive me if this doesn’t work or look quite right! I whipped this up tonight when I saw that I had a bunch of leftover pesto and a lonely package of cream cheese in the fridge. This is really simple and tasty. You can adjust the amounts to [...]
My Aunt Susan made this dip a few Christmases ago when we were visiting my mom’s side of the family in Richvale, California. It was so delicious that I just had to get the recipe. When she wrote it down for me I was surprised at how short the ingredient list was and how easy [...]
Glorious guacamole. It is one of my favorite foods not just because of its deliciousness, but because it is so very versatile. You can enjoy it as a dip for chips, as a spread for a sandwich, in a wrap, on a taco, on fajitas and on top of a salad. Guacamole is also good [...]
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 [...]
Olives. 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 [...]
My 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! [...]
This 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 [...]
