Sweet, Sticky & Grilled
The Super Bowl is just a week away, and that means it is time to start thinking about the food. In our house we will have a dip of some sort, like this Party Dip or this Dill Pickle Dip. We will also be grilling. Since we do live in Texas, grilling is almost a requirement and these sausages are definitely on the menu. A little sweet & a little heat The Hubby loves a little sweet with his heat and these grilled sausages offer a bit of sweet for sure. To bring a little sweet with a little heat I start with my Homemade BBQ Sauce. This sauce is my…

One week from today is the SUPER BOW!! What do you have planned? Are you starting home with just the family? Planning on having a big party? Maybe going to a party? Well, whatever your plans this dip would be a great treat that everyone is sure to love. A classic…updated So why this dip…well every party we have we always have the Ranch Party Dip. The little dip packet you find in the salad dressing aisle. And we love it, just as it is. As much as I love it I know I could take it to the next level and what better to do that than to add bacon. In my family bacon…

skinny but oh so blue cheese dip
Do you love dip? I LOVE DIP! Every party I have, whether big or small, there is always a dip of some sort. Sometimes I will have the traditional ranch dip (or this amped up version), sometimes a dill pickle dip and sometimes something sweet to go with fruit. Skinny and so GOOD This year for the Big Game I am going to be making A Skinny Blue Cheese dip. This dip will not only be delicious with veggies and chips but it will also pair GREAT with these Skinny Buffalo Tenders. So what makes it skinny, you ask? Well, to start with I use nonfat greek yogurt mixed with reduced…

Naked Buffalo Tenders (Keto/Low Carb)
I don’t know about you but the Super Bowl is a big deal in my family. We usually have some sort of get together with friends and family. When it is party time that means is time for food and lot of it!! It’s not just about the Game Now for the women we primarily watch the game for the commercials and for the half time show, but I know the guys watch the game for the actual game. I mean who can forget the Janet Jackson show or the Beyonce show…the list goes on and on. Of course there are also some great football memories as well, but…

a bundt cake to remember
Valentines is one of those Holidays that not only celebrates the love of your life but it also celebrates dessert. Most typically chocolate desserts are on the menu, but for The Hubby chocolate is not what his heart desires. He loves caramel anything so I thought to bring two favorites together. Caramel & Cake. Can it get any better? Caramel & Bundt = Perfection This year I decided to make a bundt cake. I just love a rich & buttery bundt cake and when paired with caramel it becomes AMAZING!! I also love how pretty this bundt cake is. Without any topping at all the cake is already pretty, especially when you use…

a Honey special
Ok…as you know I am a Texas girl through and through. I was born in Dallas but have lived in the Houston area since I was 2. This girl is a big fan of BBQ, Tex-Mex and CHIKEN FRIED STEAK. In my world a good chicken fried steak can turn any bad day into a GREAT day. I was scared Chicken Fried Steak is one of those dishes that I have always been a little scared to make. Ok maybe not a little, maybe I am a lot scared to make. It is one of those dishes with 1000 memories attached to it, and I don’t want to mess it up. Finally though…

chocolate cookies for the chocolate lovers…
There is just something so sweet about a thumbprint cookie. Growing up my mom would buy the shortbread ones with the cutest little chocolate center, and then sometimes she would make a peanut butter cookie with a chocolate kiss in the center so for this Valentines Day I wanted to make a chocolate cookie version. Chocolate, please I am all about chocolate anything and this chocolate cookie with a chocolate kiss in the center is a perfect chocolate treat and an even more perfect treat for Valentines Day. To make these cookies decadent I used dark cocoa powder for added richness, buttermilk for a little tang and tartness (which I love in a cookie),…

Weeknight Risotto…yes for real
I am a HUGE risotto fan. Almost anytime it is on a menu I will probably order it, but I also love to make it at home. Even better, over time The Hubby has learned to LOVE risotto too. you’ve got this… So I know some of you are thinking there is no way I can make risotto on a weeknight. It takes way to long and there is so much to it…but just wait. This weeknight risotto only has a few ingredients and comes together pretty quick making it perfect or dinner tonight. The beauty of this risotto is that it is perfect for the beginner risotto maker. The first…

start your day with a berry good treat
I love the idea of smoothies. They are loaded with good for your stuff, you can drink them, and they are quick to make which is perfect for those super busy mornings. There is just one problem I have with most smoothies…I HATE bananas! A smoothie without a banana can be hard to find Do you go to those smoothie places and get creative with your smoothies….well that has always been a challenge for me. Most of them have bananas in them, and I cannot eat banana any way, any how. So I know that sounds a little wacky, really who doesn’t like bananas…well that would be me. This is…

frozen has never been so fancy
Not too long ago I was in the middle of a crazy week and The Hubby wanted to grill. I always loves it when he grills but I didn’t have any sides for the burgers. And then I looked in the freezer and saw the answer…frozen fries. Now it’s time to make them fancy Me being me I can’t just bake them as directed on the package, I have to fancy them up a bit. So how do you make frozen fries fancy, you ask? It really is quite simple…just a few shakes here and there and there you go…Fancy Fries. First spread them out onto a baking sheet and…
