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…
Churros with Dessert Dipping Sauces
This post is sponsored by Danish Creamery, but all opinions are my own. Cinco de Mayo is a pretty festive time food-wise…at least for me. No, I’m not Mexican, but who doesn’t love Mexican food? And who says you have to be Mexican to appreciate the simplicity of churros? No one sane, that’s for sure….
Fried Brussels Sprouts with Gochujang Mayo Dip
Well, my friend! It’s officially official! I’m married to a retiree! That doesn’t make me old, though. Héctor maybe. But me? Hell-to-the-nah. Even though, I had to take the entire week that followed off because I was spent- that still doesn’t make me old. These Fried Brussels Sprouts with Gochujang-Mayo Dip did get a few…
Crème Anglaise (Warm Vanilla Bean Sauce)
Have you ever wanted to have your ice cream and drink it too? No? Just me? Okay, then. Well, if you ever decide to become a weirdo, like me, you need to get in the kitchen and get this Crème Anglaise recipe working. Crème Anglaise literally translates to “English Cream”. I’m pretty sure it was named…
Guava-Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Smoothie
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…
Arugula Salad with Lemon-Garlic Dressing
Do you ever want to eat something simple, but you don’t want to spend too much time creating it? Well, let me introduce you to my favorite midday meal. Arugula Salad with Lemon-Garlic Dressing can be on the table (or desk) in ten minutes. This salad is full of calcium, vitamins, protein, healthy fats, and…
Peach Frozen Yogurt Breakfast Pops
You’re probably gearing up for back-to-school if you haven’t already booted your littles out of the door. My mind is reeling from all of the recipes that I’m planning to make to create easy mornings around this house. Since, like most creative types, I’m up late; waking up early in the morning is not on…
