Reuben Grilled Cheese
Are you a reuben fan? Are you a fan of grilled cheese. I love them… they can be simple… some with meat, some with multiple types of cheese, thick bread, thin bread, fancy bread. However…I just love grilled cheese. Closed or Open? There is a great delicatessen here is Houston call Kenny & Ziggy’s. This is the first place I ever experienced The Rueban. I am almost embarrassed to admit this but it was about 12 years ago that I fell in love with this amazing sandwich. It all started with a shopping trip to the Galleria with my brother for my sis-in-love. Afterwards we went to Kenny &…

Gluten Free Sugar Cookies
Sugar Cookies have never been better than these Gluten Free Sugar Cookies! Yes… Gluten Free and they are AMAZING! The Great Sugar Cookie Debate… Are you a thin & crispy sugar cookie person or a fluffy and chewy sugar cookie person? For me I like both. My MeeMaw would make me her sugar cookies every time I would come see her (you can find the recipe here), and they were thin & crispy and SO GOOD! Like super yummy, I would eat all of them and not share with anyone. On the other hand we had a family friend who would make more of a lofthouse kinda cookie with…

Teriyaki Salmon will turn anyone into a salmon lover in no time. Perfectly cooked salmon covered in a delicious homemade teriyaki sauce that comes together in NO TIME! Ain’t your momma’s salmon Growing up the closest we got to salmon was the canned version made into croquette patties. As much as I loved those croquettes as I grew up I started to appreciate just how good fresh salmon really could be. There are so many options from grilling to roasting to pan searing. For some fun recipes, check out this Grilled Salmon or this Chili Rubbed Salmon for a little extra kick. I will say though this Teriyaki version is quickly…

Winter Spiced Steel Cut Oats
I am ALL about oatmeal, especially steel cut oats. I literally can eat them morning, noon and night…and these Winter Spiced Oats are perfect for a chilly morning by the fire. all about the spices… I love all the warm spices… think chai tea spices. For this oatmeal I wanted it to be flavorful enough where I didn’t have to add in a lot of sugar to make it yummy. So the spice fun began. The spice blend I landed on (after several attempts) is cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, cardamon. You could also use pumpkin pie spice with additional cloves and cinnamon if you wanted. You could also…

Homemade Crispy Cheese Chips
Crispy Cheese Chips are one of my favorite snacks… and they are low carb too! So Crispy There are so many options when it comes to your cheese options but when I went to the store to get the cheese slices I found a party pack of pre-sliced cheese and I grabbed it right up. It had cheddar, havarti, colby and gouda. I was so excited to see how each one would work. Much to my delight they all worked amazing! All turned out super crispy just like my favorite chips. Changing it up a bit To add a little something extra to the chips I added some black pepper…

Black Eyed Peas are a must every New Years Day & this should be your go to recipe. This year I decided to try a new recipe & let me tell you it is so, so good and all made in the Instant Pot. Black Eyed Pea tradition… Every year my parents would make black eyed peas for New Years Day with cornbread, this is my favorite cornbread recipe. My mom would always use the leftover ham from Christmas which made the black eyed peas AMAZING! For this recipe I used ham and smoked sausage. I mean why not make them even better. What is your New Year’s Day tradition?…

Roasted Rib Roast
My brother blew it out of the park this past Christmas with the Roasted Rib Roast… trust me you need to make this ASAP! It all starts with the seasoning Having a good crust on a prime rib is everything and this recipe gives you a great crust but with just a few ingredients. To make the rub it is just Montreal Steak Seasoning and some extra pepper and that’s all. Seriously, it is all we use and just look at that crust! If you do not have Montreal steak seasoning you can use any all purpose seasoning you have, I highly recommend a course seasoning though for a pretty…

Jalapeno Cranberry Sauce
Are cranberries your thing? I feel like you either are or you are not. Well this girl… BIG fan. A few of my favorite recipes are these Cranberry Bran Muffins & Cranberry Bars. I have to say though, this Jalapeño Cranberry Sauce is definately in my top 3 now. Cranberry Love! There is just something about these tart little berries that I cannot get enough of. I love them in desserts, as a garnish, in drinks and definately as a side. They are so easy to use and so festive. In this sauce the cranberries are truly the star but withe a little kick. The jalapeño and spices bring…
