These were so incredibly easy. I have a 5 month old, so if I think they were a cinch to prepare, then you could probably do it with your eyes closed and one hand tied behind your back. And because we didn’t eat until past 8 last night thanks to my sweet boy who would [...]
My mother-in-law made this sandwich over Christmas when we went home to visit. Thanks, Kate! The recipe is an Ina Garten one, so it has no choice but to produce something delicious. I made a few changes to the recipe last weekend when we had company. Here is the original recipe. I made 2 of [...]
A few weeks ago Ben and I decided to invite some friends over to watch Texas A&M play in the Cotton Bowl. The game didn’t turn out the way I would have liked, but this chili exceeded my expectations. This photo below of the delicious chili, however, is quite disappointing. Sorry. With the little guy [...]
With baby countdown at 2 weeks and 1 day I felt it necessary to make some freezer meals for those days (of which I’m sure there will be many) that I don’t have time to cook a real meal. I searched quite a few websites for recipes that would freeze and reheat well. I cannot attest [...]
Some of our great friends are leaving the hustle and bustle of Amarillo and are moving down to Houston at the end of the month. We’re very sad to lose them and they will be missed! It’s even more sad since they are some of the only Aggies we know up here! We had a [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
