Wes & the Asparagus
Two of my most favorite people in the whole world are my niece and nephew Audra & Wesley. Audra is just about 8 months and Wesley will be 2 next week and I am obsessed with them. I try and talk to Wes once a day on the phone and see them as much as I can, and of course I am constantly spoiling them as much as I can. One of my favorite helpers One of my favorite things to do for Wes is to cook for him. From the time he could start eating real food I would bring him almost everything I made him…and sometimes when he see’s me he…

sweet & spicy…oh so good pineapple!
It is no secret that we love to grill here in Texas. I mean c’mon we kinda live on grilled everything in the spring & summer. We will grill anything that will sit still on the grill (or not fall through the grates)….fruits such as pineapple. The obvious favorites are of course, steak (like this steakhouse steak), chicken, pork anything, veggies…but another big favorite is fruit! Yes, I said fruit. There is just something so yummy about fruits that have been charred a little…it really brings out the sweetness of the fruit while intensifying the flavor immensely. I love grilled peaches for sure but my favorite grilled fruit is pineapple. It’s so funny, I…

stay in for this favorite…fajitas
The Hubby has started cross fit in the last couple of months…yes I said The Hubby is doing cross fit. Now just to be clear, I am not doing cross fit The Hubby is doing cross fit and I am so, so proud of him. He has been so committed and goes at 6:00 AM, 3 days a week and in turn I have been trying to feed him a little better (with a few indulgences here and there). One of the things The Hubby has been really craving and needing is protein and I think he could eat grilled meat 6 times a day, and especially fajitas. He has…

at home pork that is so, so good
I don’t know about you but one of the hardest things to eat out, when you are trying to eat good, is Chinese food. It can be loaded with tons of sodium, hidden calories and fat all the while being bathed in delicious sauces that make you want to keep eating. The Hubby loves chinese food so I have been on a mission to find some lighter options, that can be made quickly but still with all of his favorite flavors…trust me this has been a challenge for sure. I have had some success in the past…I made this skinny stir fry that The Hubby loved but he kept asking me…

kicky shrimp on the grill
I love shrimp! There I admit it…I L.O.V.E those cute little things! Since I was a little kid I have always been a fan. One of my earliest memories involves this favorite treat. There was a restaurant in Houston that I loved, JoJo’s. It was a family type of place that we ate at quite often and I would always get their fried shrimp. To my 6 year old self this was without a doubt the BEST dinner ever…I didn’t care that they were frozen, rubbery or over cooked (really over fried, but I don’t think that is a legitimate cooking term)…none of that mattered to me … I loved my…
