One of the first cakes that Granny made for Nathan was her Sock It To Me Cake. I’m pretty sure he asked her to marry him after the first bite. Granny would have turned 95 today. Mary Cecil Trew {Granny} April 18, 1920 – April 16, 2014 Granny was everyone’s Granny. Every single one of…
Happy Monday, y’all – sorry this is running a bit late. I had an SD card corruption this past weekend and I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to recover the images that I hadn’t yet transferred to my computer. In order to do that – the software that I found (Wondershare Data Recovery) recovered…

Happy Monday, y’all! What a delicious and busy weekend we had. We took the kids to the Shell Houston Open where we laughed, watched super-star golfers, helped donate to some wonderful charities (which is what the Shell Houston Open does), ate some yummy food, talked, made memories and enjoyed some family time. Saturday, we worked around…
Happy Monday! It’s been a crazy, wonderfully full, sports, friends, crawfish boil, sunshine-filled weekend for us; how was your weekend? I love my TimeHop app – and this weekend my heart melted when the picture from 4 years ago popped up! My little Monkey was so small and adorable in his cowboy boots. He used…
Happy Monday {ish} Hope you’re having a wonderfully, delicious, delightful, and decadent day! We’ve finally gotten some gorgeous weather down here and it’s had us stretching our legs and lifting our faces to the sun. The grill’s been heating up with spicy grilled shrimp quesadillas, steaks, poblano burgers and more… but what y’all have going has my…
Whenever we go to the rodeo, the fair, the boardwalk – my kids want funnel cakes. Fluffy, crispy, chewy, sweet, powdered sugar dusted fried swirls of awesomeness. I had no clue that funnel cakes were so simple to make, or so much fun to make… let’s just say that now that I know, there will be lots…
Happy Monday! Are you recovering from Spring Break like us, or just starting yours? We’ve devoured about 4 dozen of these brown sugar chocolate chip cookies over the past week, and it’s time for me to get back into running and working out to make up for it! They’re so worth it, though. Y’all are…
Sometimes you just want a perfectly delicious, yet simple – chocolate chip cookie – a crisp around the edges, chewy in the middle, chocolate chip cookie. If you’re anything like Princess – you want one without frills – no additions. no fruit. no silliness. Just sugars, butter, vanilla, chocolate chips and happiness. A couple months ago…
Happy Monday, y’all. We’re on Spring Break this week and while the weather isn’t cooperating, my kitchen is. 🙂 We’ve made stir fry, some incredibly delicious basic chocolate chip cookies (at Princess’ request) I’ll be sharing the recipe this week, and we have grilled up some of our favorite poblano burgers I’d love to hear…
I adore stir fry. I have a passion for tossing veggies, spices, and meat in my wok until the steamy, spicy, fragrant aroma has taken over my kitchen and the veggies are bright and crisp, the meat savory, tender, and spicy. I could eat stir fry every single day – especially when it’s packed with chili…
March means it’s Rodeo Season in Houston! Bring on the boots, the food, the music, the food….. When Nathan and I think about rodeo foods, we immediately think of smoked turkey legs. Juicy, fall off the bone tender, crispy, crackling skin, melt in your mouth delicious smoked turkey legs. Have you ever smoked a turkey leg?…
