Oh yummy, yummy! See that pile of homemade kale slaw...it ended up on top of my brat. And holy flavor explosion. Oh yummy, yummy! My boys are not big 'lettuce or slaw' eaters, but that is A-OK with me. That means more for me...and this kale slaw was better as leftovers as it soaked in the tangy-creamy dressing overnight! (But still fabulous on the brat!) Add this to … [Read more...]

Grilled Beef Fajitas
I have absolutely no idea why or how I have not shared a Beef Fajitas recipe in the past here on $5 Dinners! One, because I LOVE them and order them often when we go out for TexMex. Two, because they are so delicious and beef fajita meat is an inexpensive cut of meat. Three, because I want you to make them using meat, your own marinade and slicing them yourself. (I know you … [Read more...]

Hot Dogs with Homemade Relish
Holy explosion of taste! There's just something about sweet relish that is special. But there's something about homemade sweet relish that is even more special.

Grilled Jalapeño Poppers
Oh, I've had baked jalapeno poppers a thousand times. (Well, maybe not a thousand, but a LOT.) They are a popular, spicy appetizer here in San Antonio and I love them dearly.
