Caprese – a colorful, flavorful blend of basil, tomatoes and mozzarella. Maybe I should move to Capri, because I could seriously eat all things Caprese all the time. 24 – 7. No word of a lie! Yes, that’s it! I’ll move there. Why wouldn’t I? I know I love the food. No skin off my […]

Jalapeno Sausage Cheddar Buns
I’m going to call these by their generic name – Jalapeno Sausage Cheddar Buns. However, they are anything but generic. If you’ve ever made the drive from Austin to Dallas and found yourself pumping gas at the half-way point in West, TX then you’ll have seen the hoards of people stopping by the Czech Stop […]
Chicken Pot Pie Made From Scratch
If I were to make a list of my top ten comfort foods, Chicken Pot Pie would definitely be on the list. Why? Because of it’s moist, tender chicken chunks, vegetables and indulgent, savory cream sauce. So, it definitely checks a lot of boxes. I like to use french onion soup style bowls for this […]

Slow-cooker Chicken Street Tacos

Vegan Orange Pound Cake
Every once and awhile I get the urge to try to clear out my pantry and freezer. Instead of buying groceries for what I feel like for the week, I look to my pantry and freezer. I ask myself what I can make to use up the ingredients I have. I like it for three reasons. […]
Spicy Cucumber Salad with Avocado & Shrimp
The hotter it is outside, the more refreshing and delicious this Spicy Shaved Cucumber Salad with Avocado and Shrimp will be! A lovely contradiction between spicy and cool, and crunchy and smooth. It makes a wonderful side dish to grilled fish or even a heavier pork tenderloin. While you can always tailor the level of spice […]
