There was no way on earth I intended to make a Fritos Casserole, never mind admit that I did and share it. It just happened. And it was good and tasty and our Facebook friends asked for the recipe. Which I made up as we went along. But here it is. Continue reading »

I’ve been on a sentimental journey lately exploring old family recipes. I could hardly wait to recreate Mom’s Deviled Crab Dip. I actually didn’t remember it all that well, but the ingredients were so yummy and intriguing that I knew we’d love it. Continue reading »

With Grillin’ & Chillin’ weather upon us, I for one am looking for super easy recipes to throw on the grill (or in the cocktail shaker). These Coconut Curry Chicken Skewers couldn’t be much easier to prepare and who doesn’t love food on a stick! Continue reading »

Why not turn this favorite chicken recipe into a grilled cheese? If I can put Spaghetti & Meatballs into a grilled cheese, Monterey Chicken seemed like a natural. Grilled chicken breast with smoky hickory bbq sauce, crispy bacon, lots of cheese, sliced tomato and diced jalapeno & scallion….sounds amazing right? Continue reading »

Smoked Cheddar & Bacon Jalapeño Beer Bread.
When this bread recipe from Chocolate, Chocolate and More appeared in my newsfeed I was instantly hooked. Joan took a classic beer bread and gave it personality. Her gorgeous photo drew me in but the fact that you can have it ready for the oven in 5 minutes sealed the deal. Continue reading »

Exhale. Not sure how to spell that sound so do it with me…in through the nose out through the mouth. We’ve made it half way through April aka National Grilled Cheese Month and have proudly shared a unique grilled cheese sandwich each day on our Facebook page.
The feedback has ranged from “Speechless” to “Girl. Giiiiiiirl. Yowza!!” to “I’m dreaming of Lobster Corn Chowder reconstructed into a grilled cheese.” That was too good to ignore. Thank you for the inspiration Sarah Mitchell. Here is my version of your request. Roasted Lobster & Corn Cake Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Continue reading »

Seafood Lasagna {with Jalapeño Alfredo Sauce}.
Indulgent. I know. I make no excuses and take full responsibility for my actions.
Here’s how it happened. We are desperately trying to work down the chaos in our pantry and uncover the mysteries in our freezer. Our goal, by the time the Farmers Market opens this spring, we’ll have a clean canvas for recipe creation. Continue reading »

Jalapeño Infused Margarita.
I recently went on a business trip to Las Vegas and enjoyed a really nice dinner at Taqueria Canonita located in the Venetian Hotel. The company, the atmosphere, the food…were all wonderful. But the Jalapeño Infused Margarita was inspirational. Continue reading »

I will admit that I whipped up this Beef & Bean Chili for the sole purpose of picturing it….on a Baked Potato. That’s right. I’m about ready to share a big potato round-up I’ve been working on. Stay tuned… Continue reading »

Moist & Delicious Meatloaf.
Simplify. This word hangs over my kitchen sink and is more often than not… ignored. I love the concept of ‘less is more’ I just struggle when it comes to cooking with this in mind. Having said that, this meatloaf recipe is the perfect example of combining just a few simple ingredients to create magic. Maybe this should be called Magic Meatloaf. Continue reading »
