a flourless cake like no other…
Spring is coming and it is time to start thinking about fun desserts and this Flourless Chocolate Cake is a must make!! No Flour Needed I have always been a big fan of flourless chocolate cakes, anytime it is on a menu I will order it (unless there is something caramel) but I have never made one at home. With Spring coming it is the perfect time to make this super decadent treat. Now I know there are more traditional desserts for Spring like carrot cake, cupcakes, or maybe a fruit option, but for me it is all about chocolate (with a little kick). Amping it up a bit One of my favorite additions…

my favorite bread pudding

King Ranch Chicken…my way
Living in Texas I grew up eating a delicious layered casserole called King Ranch Chicken. It is a rich and very cheesy mexican inspired casserole that always was a huge hit with family, friends and any pot luck it was brought too. A throwback made my way… Since I was little my mom has been making this casserole. Sometimes she uses corn tortillas, sometimes flour. She has used grilled chicken, rotisserie chicken and even canned chicken. Every once in a while she throws in some veggies, but we try to discourage such healthy behavior. I mean this cheesy & creamy casserole does not need any veggies to make it more…

Valentines at home
Valentines Day is almost here and I don’t know about you but I love to have a special dinner at home rather fighting the crowds…and this year it is all about steaks. Not your ordinary steak The Hubby loves steaks, and is always up to grilling his favorite cut of meat but this time it is going to be so much more than just a grilled steak…he just doesn’t know it yet. First off we need to season the steaks. Most of the time I like to keep things simple with just a little salt & pepper but for this steak I want something a little different so I am going to add…
