Yesterday the heat index was 107.  On days like this, I dread the “what do you feel like for dinner” question…because in all honesty, I really have no idea.  I don’t want to cook a four course meal, heating up the kitchen with the stove […]

A great coleslaw is a great thing to have in your recipe arsenal…especially during the summer time!  Classic Southern Coleslaw is the ultimate side for some of your favorite summer meals!  Creamy, cool, tangy and crunchy, it compliments a ton of dishes from BBQ brisket […]

If you are a cheese lover, Jalapeno Mexican Fudge is your dream come true! Mom #2 has been making Jalapeno Mexican Fudge for as long as I can remember.  We always made a huge batch before any big family get together, especially our big family […]

Southern Sauteed Summer Squash is by far one of my favorite summer dishes.  It is light & healthy, quick & easy, complements any meal and is SUPER delicious! We eat a ton of zucchini around here all year round but it seems like when summer […]

Nothing quite revives a sweltering hot summer day in Texas better than a cool, refreshing glass of fresh lemonade.  There is just nothing quite like it!  Pomegranate Mint Lemonade takes this refreshing summer drink over the top. Tart, cool, sweet and sour…it is lemonade at […]

Have you ever made a mistake in the kitchen that turned out to be freakin’ amazing?  That is just how this Creamy Garlic Feta dressing was born! A few weeks ago, I was on a mission to dress up some fresh corn on the cob […]

It’s tough going out to eat these days….I realize now why we only went out on very special occasions as a kid.  Feeding a family of four (or more) at a restaurant can get expensive!  We definitely don’t go out as much as we used […]

Enchiladas are definitely comfort food here in South Texas!  It seems like everyone has their favorite Tex-Mex spot to grab their favorite enchiladas or Mexican food of choice.  My love of cheese enchiladas goes way back to my childhood.  On Friday nights, my parents always took […]

  Melted. Leek. Frittata.  I should not have to say another word. I have always, even as a child, loved quiche but as a low carb girl, I have ditched the crust for the Italian cousin of quiche, the frittata.  Frittatas have to be one […]

Chicken salad.  For a long time, I never dared to try it when it was served because I knew what I liked… and if I was anywhere other than home I wasn’t sure what I was going get.  Canned chicken?  Fruit?  Sweet?  Onions?  Nuts?  Truth […]
