Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas

Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas

Southwestern influenced cuisine has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’m from Texas. My ex is from Colorado. His family is from Arizona. And I have family in New Mexico. So Tex-Mex, Arizona-Mex, New Mexico-Mex, or any variation 

Irish Stew

Irish Stew

The weather has finally gotten cold enough to justify a big pot of my favorite Irish stew down here in Georgia. I don’t know where this recipe came from originally and it’s not really fixed in stone. It’s mostly about a rich, thick tomato based 

Austin, Tx | Spring Vacation

Austin, Tx | Spring Vacation

I had an opportunity to spend a little bit of vacation time in Austin last month. Although I was born in Dallas, I consider Austin my hometown; it’s where I went to high school and college and spent the most formative years of my life.

I know that everyone and their siblings have posted recipes for Instant Pot stock or broth or bone broth or whatever the name for it is these days. I’m going to be one more, so bear with me today. Last year when all my friends

Hey y’all! Happy 2018. In the interests of getting back into blogging on a regular basis, I’m going to start posting about some of the things I’m cooking without necessarily a lot of fancy photos or verbiage. I might come back and flesh out some

I’ve had the original version of this recipe saved since the NY Times first posted it right after Katherine Hepburn died. When Pinterest came along, I remember moving it from my long list of bookmarks to make it one of my first food pins. It’s since

Hello Fresh: Creamy Mushroom Pork Chops

Let’s just jump right in to my first Hello Fresh review. I subscribed last week and my first box arrived today with 3 meals. I decided to start with the pork chops and mushroom gravy – mostly because I already have a really great pork

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Everyone in the blogging world is posting Irish recipes today, so I might as well join in with a family recipe for Irish soda bread. This is my maternal grandfather’s recipe, which I’m pretty sure he got from his Irish mother.

COTTAGE CHEESE & OAT PANCAKES
