This week was going to be a busy one. With every other night but Monday being packed with some event, I wanted something to make for dinner on Monday night that would create good leftovers for the week and be quick to reheat. Lasagna it would be. And because I like to try new recipes, [...]
One of the best things about this meal, besides being quick and simple, is that it is almost completely free of any kitchen clean up! By baking the chicken and vegetables in little foil or parchment packages, you don’t have to worry about scrubbing down a pan that is coated with the remnants of roasted [...]
Grilling makes almost all foods taste better, and it makes your neighbors jealous. Last night I made these incredibly simple sausage kabobs and they were delicious. The recipe is from The Food Network. Here is the link.
The pesto recipe needed a bit more oil, so I added about 1 tablespoon more than called for. A [...]
A while back I posted a recipe for chicken enchiladas from Tyler Florence. They were good, but not the best. At the beginning of that post I mentioned my all-time favorite recipe for chicken enchiladas, but did not provide it. What was I thinking? How could I be so selfish as to say how wonderful [...]
Fennel in one of my favorite vegetables. The flavor of fennel is quite similar to anise, but they are not the same vegetable. It is delicious raw, sliced in a salad. It is completely different in flavor when cooked in a casserole, like this potato and fennel gratin which is quite tasty. It is incredible roasted [...]
This past few days I have been hearing a lot about Mardi Gras. I have seen many blog posts featuring Mardi Gras recipes like King Cake and Gumbo. The recipe websites that I frequent like allrecipes, epicurious and myrecipes also have little sections devoted to this day and time of year. Why not jump on [...]

Here is my story. I was scheduled to leave Amarillo Friday morning at 6:55 to help prepare everything for my sisters baby shower that is today [...]
Leftovers are tricky. Some things are great left over. Pizza is even good cold straight from the fridge for breakfast. Lasagna, spaghetti, and most casseroles take to reheating very well. Unfortunately, a lot of foods are not good on their own left over. However, with some creativity, leftovers can be transformed into something deliciously new [...]
My attempts in writing the title to this post resulted in many misspellings of the word “fricassée”. I will not tell you the number of times I tried and failed to spell it…and do not ask Ben, because he will probably tell you and I will be embarrassed.
Despite the difficulty involved in spelling this French [...]
Pioneer Woman is a blog I’ve been following for a few years. Ree Drummond has exploded in popularity, written a cookbook and has thousands and thousands of followers. I love the food part of her blog the best. I am incredibly jealous of her photography. And I am amazed that she has the time to [...]
