Chicken Spaghetti…from scratch!!
Chicken spaghetti has been a favorite of mine for many, many years. Ever since one of my oldest friends, Bonnie, made it for me. Back then we used canned everything (including canned chicken) and processed anything we could find, and it was SOOOOO good. Remaking a favorite As much as I love this classic I decided Iw anted to remake it…all from scratch. OK I know from scratch can sound kinda scary but don’t worry this from scratch recipe is super easy. To add in a ton of flavor and a little color I start with red, orange or yellow bell peppers. Most of the time I will use 1…

The high today in the Houston Area is 84. I cannot believe it as I sit here and write it, it is going to be in the mid 80’s in February. Gotta love Texas weather.

Not your mama’s chicken soup Don’t get me wrong I am all about my mama’s chicken soup. It is delicious, but sometimes I like to change it up a bit and this Chicken Fajita Soup is one of my favorites.

Wait…Maybe I will eat them everyday now. as good as I have had Being from Texas I have had my fair share of really great Mexican food and especially some great black beans. Every chance I get I oder them with my enchiladas, tacos or burritos. I judge a restaurant by how good (or not) their…

dill has a new friend
Salmon is a go to dinner for The Hubby and I. We always have some in the freezer. Quick tip, we buy in bulk on sale and cut into serving size portions. It is quick to thaw and quick to fix, my kind of weeknight dinner. A fan or not…. Dill is one of those herbs that people love or hate it seems. Me I am a big fan, The Hubby thinks he is not…well that is until now. Now I completely understand that there be some out there who are not big fans of this little herb. It can be very overpowering, but it doesn’t have to be.…

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…

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…

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…
