Greek Farmer’s Salad with Watermelon
Here I sit, recovering from another “the-twins-just-turned-a-year-older” cry-fest. Yes, I cry every year on the Twin’s birthday. No, I don’t feel any embarrassment. I’ve never been one of those parents who looks forward to my children leaving me. My husband, on the other hand? He’s the ying to my yang. But, I’ll be okay. Whenever I think…
Ultimate Bacon-Jalapeño Mac and Cheese
My Ultimate Bacon-Jalapeño Mac and Cheese- with its five cheese sauce and smoky bacon- is guaranteed to provide comfort. This post is sponsored by my friends at Danish Creamery, however, all thoughts and opinions are my own. This move has been one of the hardest in my life; I’m not being dramatic, either. In my…
Coctel de Camarones (Mexican Shrimp Cocktail)
Ummm…I hate moving. I know you’ve been dying to know that. At last count, I have moved 17 times. This next move will be my 18th- and hopefully last- move. I’m ’bout fed up to here with the whole process (I’m gesturing to my throat). Once again, I’m trying to rid myself of excess groceries,…
Oatmeal-Carrot Cake Muffins with (or without) Nuts
Update on the moving: putting a house on the market is a p.i.t.a. Seriously. Normally, I keep a very neat and orderly home, but when you’re trying to sell your house, it has to be neat and orderly on 100. Meanwhile, I’m trying to use up all of the food in my pantry so I…
Chorizo and Egg Breakfast Nachos
I sat in a corner looking around to see if anyone was judging me. Having just finished a full plate of these Chorizo and Egg Breakfast Nachos, I was feeling a wee-bit scandalous. These things are on the verge of being slutty- they’re so indulgent. I think what I wanted to feel was guilt, but that…
Roasted Tomato-Basil Bisque- Quick & Easy
It’s is currently thirty-nine degrees in Central Texas. I feel like one of those insects that’s been frozen alive. Nothing makes sense and I’m watching the world pass me by because I’m frozen stiff. I imagine that if someone were to pour this Roasted Tomato-Basil Bisque down my gullet, I’d be okay. If only there…
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork in Mojo Sauce
You guys! I’m killing this healthy eating thang!! In doing so, I also realize how much I eat rice. I’m a Latina, okay? It’s what we do. This recipe is another workday/kid/mama’s-gonna-lose-her-ish-friendly recipe. Slow Cooker Pulled Pork in Mojo Sauce is a mouthful, but seeing as how mouthfuls are good around here, it’s also fitting….
Miso-Ginger Salmon- Quick and Easy
Since the title of this recipe is Miso-Ginger Salmon- Quick and Easy, I’m going to make this post straightforward and to the point. Not like I ramble on a regular basis, but this one is going to be fast and furious. I came up with this recipe after I found sockeye salmon on sale at…
Cilantro-Lime Bulgur Bowls with Sweet Potatoes
QUICK!!! Let’s hurry up and eat something healthy before our bodies know what we’re doing!!! I’ve resolved to be better to my body this year. It hasn’t happened yet, meaning: I’ve not set one foot into a gym to date. I’m good with me, though, because I have been drinking the hell outta some water annnnnd, I…
