This post was originally shared two years ago, but I updated it with banging pictures and more eloquent writing and junk. Today our family received some pretty awesome news- mainly for the Soldier- but for all of us as a whole. Once we break it to our family, I’ll spill the frijoles to you. To…

Rainbow Carrots in Tarragon Brown Butter
Because you’re my friend, I’m going to give you a piece of professional advice. Never, ever, ever go out to eat on a major holiday. Just don’t do it to yourself. Nine time out of ten, the cooks and waitstaff are over it after the first hour of their shifts, which tends to result in a…
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…
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…
Baechu-Kimchi (Napa Cabbage Kimchi)
I know you’re thinking, “Why is the this chick attempting to share a Korean recipe?” Well, friend, that’s a great question, and the answer is: “Because I can.” No shade, but I really can. My step-father was from South Korea- where, in Korea, I have no idea- but he could barely speak English, and never made an…
Medicine Bomb Chicken Soup
Oh. My. God….I was on my deathbed last week! I saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and all of that! Turns out, I just had an upper respiratory infection, and the light I saw? It was my son shining his flashlight into my face because I had taken Nyquil and he thought…
Country Style Collard Greens in the Slow Cooker
I’m going to give it to you straight- I, honestly, have no idea what makes these greens “Country Style”. Most of my childhood was set in suburban/inner-city areas. But, when I think of “Country Style” food I think of food that is slow-cooked, wholesome, and tastes of love. As such, I think my slow cooker…
Balsamic-Rosemary Roasted Brussels Sprouts
If you take Thanksgiving as seriously as I do, you’re already planning your Turkey Day meal. If you’re normal (unlike I am) you probably wait until the last minute to start the planning process. These Balsamic-Rosemary Roasted Brussels Sprouts are for both types of people. They’re easily worked into any menu. They can also be…
Peruvian-Style Coleslaw: South American Salad
My husband says things like, “You know what I’d like to have for dinner?” and I say, “What’s that?” and he says, “That Peruvian coleslaw that you make…with fish tacos.” And that’s when I have to remind him that we are still in Central Texas where there is no mahi-mahi or (for that matter) any other…
Sabich Bowls
Thankfully, this post is much lighter than my post from earlier in the week. Little David was brought out from under sedation on Tuesday. He’s suffering from seizures, but the doctors think it’s just his brain rebooting. Please continue to keep him, my sister, and my BIL in your prayers! In the meantime, we need to…
