Firecracker Brownies
Memorial Day is here and that means it is time for red, white and blue everything. To really make this holiday something to remember make these Firecracker Brownies…they really are something amazing. It starts with a box I am a big fan of brownies and especially homemade brownies, but recently I was chatting with a friend and she was telling me about her favorite brownies. I was quite surprised to find out they start with a box brownie mix. She added a few extra ingredients to make them even better and they came AMAZING…so I had to give it a shot. I was truly surprised that with a little vanilla…

Skillet Lemon Chicken
I am so ready for warm weather and I so ready for this Skillet Lemon Chicken. All in one skillet Yes you read that right….the chicken and sauce are all made in one skillet, start to finish. The beauty of one skillet is that the flavors are going to build on one another without a lot of extra ingredients and there is one one pan to clean up at the end. I am a big, big fan of only one pan to clean up…that gives me more time to spend with my family and friends. Light but still rich Even though this chicken is cooked in a cream sauce…

Instant Pot Corned Beef & Cabbage
St. Patricks Day is just a round the corner and according to my dad that means it is time for Corned Beef and Cabbage. A few years ago I decided to fix it for him instead of taking him out, and I am so glad I did. It was his last St Patricks Day with us and he loved it as did I. Everything in one pot The beauty of the instant pot is that you literally can cook everything in one pot. That means one pot to clean up when everything is all said and done…I so LOVE that!! OK, well maybe one pot and a cutting board but…

Gingerbread Cookies
UPDATE – This Gingerbread Cookie post is from several years ago but I just love the pics, and the memories and everything about it so I just had to repost it. I also love Gingerbread cookies so there is that too. ************************************************************************ This past weekend I got to watch my niece and nephew for a night and making cookies was on the menu for sure. Not too long ago I was at World Market and found this great pack of sprinkles that had a little bit of everything from cinnamon dots to metallic sprinkles and everything in between. My little helper is the BEST EVER Anytime I can get my…

Iced Sugar Cookies
These Classic Iced Sugar Cookies are a MUST MAKE. They are super tender, topped with a delicious icing with hints of vanilla bean in each bite and fun sprinkles. A perfect cookie for any Holiday or Special Occassion. No rolling here One of the things that annoys me about sugar cookies is having to roll them out. Rolling pins and I don’t have the best relationship. I tend to roll things too thin, or not thin enough…it just never seems to be right. With these cookies though there is no rolling…that is one of the reasons why I love these cookies. I also love how tender they are. Not so…

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 &…
