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…

bacon makes this party dip ROCK!
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…

chocolate cookies for the chocolate lovers…
There is just something so sweet about a thumbprint cookie. Growing up my mom would buy the shortbread ones with the cutest little chocolate center, and then sometimes she would make a peanut butter cookie with a chocolate kiss in the center so for this Valentines Day I wanted to make a chocolate cookie version. Chocolate, please I am all about chocolate anything and this chocolate cookie with a chocolate kiss in the center is a perfect chocolate treat and an even more perfect treat for Valentines Day. To make these cookies decadent I used dark cocoa powder for added richness, buttermilk for a little tang and tartness (which I love in a cookie),…

frozen has never been so fancy
Not too long ago I was in the middle of a crazy week and The Hubby wanted to grill. I always loves it when he grills but I didn’t have any sides for the burgers. And then I looked in the freezer and saw the answer…frozen fries. Now it’s time to make them fancy Me being me I can’t just bake them as directed on the package, I have to fancy them up a bit. So how do you make frozen fries fancy, you ask? It really is quite simple…just a few shakes here and there and there you go…Fancy Fries. First spread them out onto a baking sheet and…

grilling in the winter (I live in Texas)
One of the best parts of living in SE Texas is that we can grill out year round. It was in the 30’s last week and now we are in the 60’s. Tomorrow will be in the 70’s. Gotta love Texas!! A little sweet We are HUGE fans of honey mustard anything. I may have been known to judge restaurants by how much I like their honey mustard. Needless to say this Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken has to be good. To make the perfect honey mustard marinade I started with equal parts mustard (I used dijon) and honey. Then I added in a little mayo for some extra creaminess, some…

red rice for dinner tonight…yes, please
Over the last few years I have become quite the fan of rice. We did not eat it a ton growing up but lately I can’t get enough of it. Red rice..LOVE, LOVE, LOVE The Hubby and I LOVE anything Mexican. I mean anything…nachos, enchiladas, tacos (in all forms), burritos, fajitas…all of it. One thing that goes great with all these dishes is rice, and especially red rice. Red rice is one of our new favorites for sure. It is loaded with tons of flavor, but it is super easy to make, making this a dish perfect for a busy week. What makes it so special? First off I almost always…

Super Special Salmon (that comes together in no time)
The Hubby and I LOVE salmon. We grill it, roast it, spice rub it and anything else in between. And now we have a salmon topped with a delicious sauce that is baked on the salmon making it something truly special. Making it something The Hubby will love Now as much as The Hubby loves salmon he is NOT a fan of mustard. In most restaurants if salmon has a sauce paired with it, it is normally a mustard sauce of some sort and The Hubby is not a happy camper. As a special treat I decided to create a restaurant style salmon that The Hubby will love….so off I went on a…
