Lemon Tart Cookies
With the weather warming up I am ALL about lemon anything. I love lemon in my drinks, lemon in my food and lemon in my dessert…lemon anything!! They are just so cute! There is just something about cute little desserts. It is even better when they are little lemon desserts. I have always been a fan of making desserts or muffins in my mini muffin pans, but these are definately one of my favorites so far. The cookie crust adds a bit of sweetness to the tartness of the lemon making each bite just perfect! They are just so pretty! Not only are they cute, but they are…

Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Is there anything better than a casserole on a busy weeknight? In my world I am all about a super easy casserole any time, but especially on those busy nights. Even better when it is an enchilada casserole! All in one… One of the best things about a casserole is the fact that everything is all packed into on dish. There are typically fewer pans to clean up, it serves a lot of people and there is something just so comforting about a casserole. This enchilada version is all that and more. There is chicken, beans, rice, cheese and a little heat in each bite, just like your favorite enchiladas.…

MeeMaw’s Chicken n Dumplings
These last few weeks have been pretty trying. When I am under stress I tend to eat comfort food and one of my favorites is my MeeMaw’s Chicken n Dumplings. Thankfully things seem to be calming down a bit and getting back to “normal” but I am still craving my favorite dish. Super simple Growing up I was not a fan of veggies. I would sometimes eat a green bean here and there but not much else. My MeeMaw being the best EVER never made us eat veggies. When we were at the farm she would make us anything we wanted and this was always my must have. …

Roasted Veggie Couscous
Spring veggies are just about ready in my part of the country. The farmers markets are starting to get loaded up with beautiful produce and this couscous dish is one of my favorite ways to highlight so many of those veggies. It starts with the veggies With so many beautiful veggies popping at my farmers markets and in my grocery store it was hard to choose which veggies to use for this delicious salad. First I knew I wanted to use peppers, red, yellow and orange. I love how sweet early spring peppers are and these were just perfect. Next I threw in an onion. I used a white onion,…

Strawberry Cobbler
I found myself in quite the situation yesterday…there were a ton of strawberries in my refrigerator that I had to use.. I had planned on making a strawberry dessert for Easter, but due to some family stuff I didn’t get too. Now I had to figure out something yummy to make with them. Cobbler is was! Was craving cobbler… As the weather gets warmer, I do live in southeast Texas so we are warming up down here, all I want are fruit desserts and cobbler is always at the top of the list. Growing up peach cobbler or blackberry cobbler were my favorites but once when I was in college…

Balsamic Chicken Tenders
Chicken tenders are one of my most favorite proteins to cook. They are quick, easy and you can do just about anything with them, making them a perfect weeknight dinner option. Amping them up a bit I am a fan of a simple grilled chicken tender, or breast or thigh, but when you can marinade and glaze with something a little special I am an even bigger fan. The added flavor from the balsamic reduction adds just enough of that something extra to make these chicken tenders something to remember. They balsamic vinegar brings a bit of tang while the brown sugar gives a bit fo sweet in each bite.…
