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 [...]

 Print This PostFennel 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 [...] By CarrieZ |
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 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. However, with some creativity, leftovers can be transformed into something deliciously new [...] By CarrieZ |

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 |
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, [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostLike many other people who are dealing with the less than stellar economy, Ben and I have tried to be more aware of what we spend, what we buy, what we waste, and how we can be a bit wiser with our money. My baking and cooking habits are a big part of our [...] |
