Do you know what happens when you don’t hit SCHEDULE POST on your MWM post? Nothing. That’s What. {le sigh} Hey y’all! How was your week? The weekend? Did y’all survive without FOOTBALL?!!! We roadtripped to waaaaay East Texas, the kids saw their first snow, and my youngest brother-in-law got married. Here’s the kids enjoying…
The title has nothing to do with the post, other than there’s tequila involved in making margaritas and every time I see tequila I think back to our Senior Class trip to Cancun and the t-shirt that one of the guys wore that said – “1 Tequila, 2 Tequila, 3 Tequila.. Floor” Welcome to my…
Some of my favorite, and most vivid memories of childhood are centered around my Granny’s kitchen. Like many southern women of her time, Granny showered those she loved with food. Whether it was chicken fried steak, chess pie, apple pie, cinnamon rolls or chicken spaghetti; Granny’s kitchen was always a source of love, food, family,…
Happy Monday, y’all! What did y’all think of the game last night? Princess was so excited about the ‘Big Game’ and our block party that she made a poster to hang in our neighbor’s garage. It was a great night with lots of neighbors and friends and food! So much food! Nathan and I…
Football and Texas They’re practically synonymous, right? Around here, football means family, food, and friends. If there’s a game on – there’s a crowd and cheering and sharing and laughter and memories being made. My very first football game that I can remember was at Kyle Field, watching the Aggies. I have no idea who…
I have a confession to make, y’all. I’m completely obsessed with these Honey Chipotle Spiced almonds. I have serious love for honey-chipotle anything, and when added to these almonds… oh. my. word. I made several variations of these, playing with the heat level, the honey, the spices, and the version that I’m sharing with y’all…
Happy Monday, y’all! Today is an exceptionally wonderful Monday, it’s my sweet husband’s 38th birthday! LOVE YOU, NATHAN! In celebration of Nathan’s birthday, Princess baked him a cake all by herself. This is her first solo baking experience, and I’m so proud of her <3 My kitchen may look like a cocoa powder/powdered sugar bomb…
Happy Monday, y’all! Mouthwatering Mondays is a bit late this week. Our internet blew up yesterday, so I’m sitting here at the new Jimmy Changa’s in Katy, having a margarita and fajitas while I write this up. The kids are playing on the playground, and I’m grateful for restaurants with good food, kid friendly areas,…
This skinny tortilla soup uses poblanos, cumin, onions, cilantro, and a light broth to recreate the southwestern favorite, without all the cream, and heaviness from traditional tortilla soups. The flavors are bold and rich, without weighing you down.
Happy Monday, y’all! I’m excited to jump back into the Mouthwatering Mondays gig. It’s like slipping into a favorite pair of comfy jeans, and having them fit perfectly; like biscuits and gravy – chicken fried lobster and creme brulee’ french toast… a perfect pairing. Let’s dive right in and get started! Our favorite Saturday restaurant…
Welcome back, y’all! It’s the first Mouthwatering Monday of 2014!!! Can y’all believe that it’s 2014 already? It’s been a hot minute since we’ve had Mouthwatering Mondays, and I blame the holidays.. and the flu… and the holidays. Although I must tell y’all – taking a break is lovely. Thanks to all of y’all who’ve…
Chewy, rich dark chocolate cookies, dipped in creamy white chocolate and topped with crushed candy canes.
