You may have figured out I love taking really old recipes and revising them. This was something I started doing when I had the restaurant and since then it has turned into a passion. Hell, I even revise my own recipes over and over! So, when my Aunt, my Mother-in-Law, […]

Southern Comfort Food Night!
When the garden starts to produce and the sun starts to become a little warmer outside I start searching for some Southern Comfort food. I grew up on a farm, in a little bitty town called Fred, just a spit’n distance from Louisiana, where pick’n peas and shuck’n corn were […]
Chicken Creole
I love a good cajun meal. Being raised in South East Texas I was exposed to cajun food on a regular basis. I have an Aunt that lived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for years and she has started to pass down some of her amazing Cajun creations. This recipe was […]
Sweet Barbecue Chicken
As food hacks go, this one is a good one. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in making something “from scratch” that I forget to take something already made and just make it better. Kinda like I do when I start with a boxed cake mix to make a great […]

Tonight I wanted to make something vegetarian. I have a friend on Instagram that is in the middle of celebrating Chaitra Navratri and I am posting this with respect for her celebration. I started thinking…. vegetarian does not always mean vegetables. So, I made some awesome red beans, rice, and […]
Cajun Chicken Chili
In these uncertain times, I find myself looking for recipes that are easy and don’t contain ingredients that are getting hard to find. When I made this the other night all of the things I needed were already in my pantry or freezer. This recipe can be made really quick […]
Beef Stroganoff
One of the hardest things to do when you are a busy mom is to not let yourself get into a food rut! I have been there. When you have three kids, a husband, a full-time job, oh and let’s not forget the dog and the cat :)! I would […]
Pork Chops with Pecan Honey Glaze
These pecan honey glazed pork chops are so wonderful. They make a great everyday dinner or can be served for the most special occasions too!
