A whole new way to Fajita
I could literally have a fajita, of some sort, for every singe meal. Yes for breakfast, lunch and dinner and maybe even a snack. As much as I love fajitas, sometimes I just don’t want to take the time to fix them…well that is until now. Peppers and Onion…OH YEAH! One of my favorite parts of any fajitas are the peppers and onions. I just love the little charred bits and the hint of sweetness and a little spice in each bite. Even better they add a ton of flavor to the meat, in this case chicken, which makes them a must have in all my fajita dishes. Careful…

A steakhouse night at home in no time
It is no secret that I love going to a nice steakhouse for a wonderful dinner, but it is even better when you can everything you love at home. ANYTIME you want!! Bringing the steak home To cook a nice steak dinner at home I like to go with a nice strip steak or a filet. I am a no bone steak kinda girl…but my rancher brother (& the other one too) is all about a bone in ribs eye. It is all up to you, just adjust cooking time as needed for thickness and desired doneness. To be rare or not? How do you like your steak cooked?…

Have you ever just stared into your freezer and wondered how in the world you are going to make something yummy for dinner with what you have? Well, that was me not too long ago and then it hit me…I am going to stuff some chicken. I mean who doesn’t love a little stuffed chicken every now and then? What to stuff it with… Now that I decided to stuff chicken breasts what was I going to stuff them with?

a little lemon to brighten up broccolini a bit
Broccolini is one of my most favorite veggies. When I say favorite I mean FAVORITE, and this Lemon Garlic version is my MOST FAVORITE! Quick & Easy I don’t know about you but sometimes side dishes can get super boring. I can get into a rut and make the same thing over and over. For me I make the same sides because they are easy and they come together quick and they are easy. Sometimes though, I like a change. Just because we are going to change it up that doesn’t mean it can’t be quick and easy. This side is not only quick but it is also easy and…

a little queso fun at home
Whether you plan on celebrating with a big party or a simple dinner for the family this Queso Blanco is a MUST MAKE! Just trust me it really, really is. My most favorite (& that is saying a lot) I am not sure there are enough words in my vocabulary to express my love for queso. I judge restaurants by their level of queso. To make it great it has to be rich, creamy, not too thick and not too thin, with a little heat to make it the perfect bite. One of my most favorite queso’s I have ever had was actually from a cheesesteak place here in…

Spring Brussels Sprouts everyone will LOVE
I can’t believe Easter has already come and gone and that we are more than half way through April. That means warmer temps, longer days & humidity in my part of the world. It also means it is time to celebrate all spring flavors and one of my favorite is lemon. & Some Brussels Sprouts Too Not only do I love lemons in the Spring but I really love them with Brussels Sprouts….especially these roasted ones with a little parmesan cheese. The char from the outside skins on the sprouts really pairs well with the brightness and tang from the lemon juice and zest. I also think it is really…

Avocado Cream Tilapia (KETO Friendly)
The weather is warming up, the days are getting longer and school is winding down…that means Spring is here! With Spring comes lighter dinners, citrus kissed almost everything and beautiful colors everywhere, even on your dinner plates. Light but so full of flavor In my family Spring means seafood and lots of it. One of our favorites is tilapia. Each filet is frozen individually making it so easy to fix just what you need and it cooks so quick making it perfect for quick dinners. One of my tricks is to season the heck out of it but with just a few spices…salt, pepper, garlic powder and a little chili powder. Just…

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…

simple, grilled salmon that is so good
Simple is sometimes so, so good. You know like an apple on a hot day, or just a simple scoop of vanilla ice cream…sometimes simple really is best. Salmon can be simple? Sure it can be, but it is a special simple. This salmon is seasoned with a favorite little blend, giving it a ton of flavor while still letting the fish be the star. You could definitely use some fresh herbs or additional spices if you wish, but this is a favorite blend for us. Grilled? Why? Why not? I mean it’s summer here in SE Texas and that is grilling weather. Anytime we can cook outside and…
