one bowl brownies…make these now!
BROWNIES! Don’t you just love the sound of the word? When you hear the word brownie what comes to your mind first? Is is chocolate? Dessert? Fudgy? Goodness? Amazing? MUST HAVE (yes I know that is two words)? What about one bowl brownies? The Hubby’s favorite When I hear the word brownie I think of The Hubby. I think he would eat brownies everyday, all day if he could so I am always on the look out for a great new brownie recipe and the easier the better. Not only are these brownies amazing but they are so good…and only take one bowl to whip up! One bowl and done…

a little sprout for everyone
I was asked the other day why I was inspired to use Sprouts in my name, and I had to laugh. In all my time of blogging no one had ever asked me. As silly as it sounds, I was inspired by brussel sprouts…yes the veggie. Yes that one pictured below. A sprout changed my world About 6 or 7 years ago (I can’t believe it has been that long) The sis-in-law asked me to just try her brussel sprouts. You see I made a promise to her that I would start trying veggies. Prior to this promise I was not a veggie girl and would stay away from them as much…

enchilada soup…redone
It is soup weather and I LOVE it. There is just something so comforting about eating a bowl of warm soup when it is chilly outside. A few favorite soups in our house is this Corn Chowder and Potato Soup, but this new enchilada soup is defiantly up there on the list. A new favorite I love rich and creamy soups. Growing up I would almost always choose potato soup or chicken noodle soup. Now that I am making my own soup, I always tend to lean towards creamy and very flavorful soups and this enchilada soup is all that and more. One of my favorite enchilada dishes are Green Chile White…

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…
