Grilling season is officially upon us. Well, it’s been upon us here in South Texas for a few weeks…some days better than others for grilling. I’m thinking the last “really cold” front has passed through and we’ve been enjoying some lovely weather as a result. This weekend we had my sister and her family over [...]
My daughter says we “speed date” food because I love playing with ingredients and am constantly creating new recipes.

We don’t eat them at home often…when we do, they are homemade. These ranch flavored chicken nuggets, dipped in marinara sauce [...]
Alrighty y’all…I’ve got another great sandwich idea and Kraft Fresh Take recipe idea to share this afternoon. I’ve been challenged by Kraft to come up with a recipe using the Cheddar and Bacon variety. I’ve had it on my list to make some kind of cheesy BLT for quite some time, so that’s what I [...]
While there is a list of ingredients with this soup that is as thick as stew (hence the name stoup), you can substitute whatever you have in the fridge. In Czech, this kind of dish is called “co dům dal” or “what the house gave” and its intent is to clean out your fridge of [...]
{Repin It!} So here’s the conundrum that I face with chicken breasts. 2 isn’t enough for our growing brood (it used to be plenty!)…but 3 is too many. (Unless all 3 boys are in a growth spurt at the same time, and that doesn’t happen often.) So 2 and 1/2 is perfect for our [...]
