Moody Gardens and The City of Galveston Visitors Bureau hosted a lunch at Blog Elevated on Friday, and they began the lunch with Italian Cream Cake slices on each table. I have oodles of respect for a place that begins the meal with…
Perhaps I should have called this slightly tipsy, just a little bit adult cranberry avocado pumpkin bread? C’est la vie. For the past year or so I’ve been playing around with different pumpkin bread recipes, because I adore the rich, creamy, subtle flavor that pumpkin adds to bread, and because Fall, y’all. I have…

These keto friendly bacon wrapped jalapenos take an old grilling favorite and turn them on their heads by using guacamole instead of cream cheese. These are a delicious and fun appetizer for any get-together.
Today was the first day of school down here in our little corner of Texas, and it was such a great one! I can’t believe that school’s already back in session, and that I have a FIFTH grader and a SECOND grader! Hold me, y’all! This is the last year they’ll be in school together…
Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches with Hershey’s Syrup and a Giveaway! There’s something about an ice cream sandwich that simply makes me happy.

It was out of this world incredible. It was…
