Our family would be glad to have Mexican food/Tex-Mex multiple times a week. Sometimes we have a taco bar, other times these verde enchiladas, or Tostadas, or DIY Tortilla Soup, but thanks to Lucy's TikTok feed, she requested that we make a Nacho Table. It was on her "Pandemic Bucket List". It is a fun … Continue reading Nacho Table!
Happy New Year! I have missed the chance to post. I have been cooking up some classics over the holidays as well as trying some new things. Hopefully in the coming weeks I'll find more time to share these. I've been wanting to share these sliders since early this fall. My mom was the master … Continue reading Yumbos Revised: Turkey, Swiss and Goat Cheese Sliders
When I told Dave that I wanted to post about Cheese Straws, he asked, "Are you sure you haven't posted on that before?" I said, "Yes, I'm sure I haven't". He said, "But you love them! They are delicious, a classic, and you've made them for years! Are you sure?" I said, "I know! I'm … Continue reading Cheese Straws
Banana bread sandwiches (cream cheese smeared in between two slices of banana bread) have been the answer to a lot of questions for me lately. Q:What should I do with these spotty bananas? I just bought them a few days ago, but evidently people weren't into them this week and I don't want to waste … Continue reading Banana Bread (Cream Cheese) Sandwiches

In his defense, he is a great eater and his messy eating struggles really have to do with the passion with … Continue reading Cilantro Sour Cream Dip and Tostadas

However, two things that I made this month, that I just have to share are Cranberry Sauce and Jalapeno Poppers. Homemade … Continue reading Some December Favorites
Do you love Mexican Layer Dip as much as I do? Tell me you've had it. It's one of my favorite party foods to make (and eat). It is always a crowd-pleaser. You can add or delete anything you like. I put cilantro, mostly because it's so fresh and pretty, but you can omit it. I … Continue reading Mexican Layer Dip- A Party Food Where The Party Is Optional
I have cooked several things lately that I am excited to share with you: Pulled BBQ, Black Bean Torte, Homemade Sushi, Chicken Salad, Rosemary Parmesan Muffins and thick French Toast, to name a few. I was deliberating about which should be this week's post and then Cracker Toffee (A.K.A. Crack) resurfaced in my life and … Continue reading Cracked Out on Cracker Toffee
I became a fan of King Arthur Flour a couple of years ago, thanks to my friend, Steve - the bread-man. This company produces great flour and a very useful website, filled with beautiful recipes. So, when I saw online that they have published a cookbook, I was excited to get it. I put … Continue reading Wheat Crackers: Cooking Lab #2
Do you ever find a recipe that is so tasty that you find yourself thinking about how and when you can fit it into your menus for the week, who you can share it with, or how you can justify making it? This is the case with this Brazilian Lemonade. My friend, Melissa S., was coming … Continue reading Brazilian Limonada
