This was not restaurant style chicken fried steak with the thick, crunchy exterior and white cream gravy. This chicken fried steak had a thinner crust and the gravy was not the thick white kind with specks of peppercorns that I am used to. The gravy I made has a thinner consistency and a darker caramel [...]

 Print This PostThis 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 [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostThere are so many reasons to love lasagna. It can be simple or fancy. By CarrieZ |
Print This PostThe last few days have been a bit, well, what’s the word…bad? No, that will not do. Terrible. Dreadful. Upsetting. Frustrating. Disheartening. Disappointing. Oh, and tear inducing. Those will work. 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 [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostLeftovers 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.

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 [...] By CarrieZ |

To bring in 2010 we had a tamale party on New Year’s Eve. The holiday issue of Fine Cooking magazine had a section devoted [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostPioneer 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 [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostThis is a yummy, comforting and spicy soup that is similar to chicken tortilla soup, but with more substance and kick. The hominy provides the substance, and the roasted poblanos give a smoky, spiciness that increases as it sits. So be prepared for a spicier soup if you have any leftovers that you eat the [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostThis dish can go horribly wrong. I have nightmares of eating this at a bridal luncheon a few years ago. Tough, dry chicken, ham with a strange texture, and fake tasting, rubbery cheese. I still have a sneaking suspicion that the “caterer” was the frozen food section at Wal-Mart. So, why make it for dinner, [...] |
