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 family events with chairs all […]

Busy Mom Chocolate Lava Cake
As the mom of three kids, I understand that often you really want to make something awesome for your kids but you just don’t have the time or the energy to make something awesome and complicated every single day! When I owned a restaurant, the kids were very accustomed to coming in after school and […]

Homemade Mac & Cheese
Easter time every year is a time for everyone to get together and celebrate beginnings. This year (2020) was a little different for us. With COVID-19 hanging around we decided to not get together. We did have a family zoom meeting and I made all the traditional foods for my children here at my house. […]

Apple Pie
The inspiration for my apple pie comes from a recipe written in 1916. It is full of fresh sliced apples, sugar, and cinnamon. I cheat on this recipe with the crust because when I get a craving for some apple pie, I don’t want to waste my time making a from-scratch crust, especially when I […]

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 originally intended to make shrimp […]

A Cookbook? What? YES!
Let’s talk about recipes! I love a good recipe but I can never stick to it. I am constantly changing them. Tweaking this, leaving out that, it really is a sickness with me that started when I bought a restaurant in 2006. The cafe I bought was located in a small Texas town on the […]

Banana Nut Cobbler
I love banana nut bread, but I always view it as breakfast food instead of a dessert. Well, that has changed with this banana nut cobbler. I created this recipe after a little mental push from an Instagram friend and boy I don’t regret it. It is sweet, moist, and absolutely delicious. Have a bowl […]

Are you Carb Conscious?
I really wanted to write a little about carbs! You know those pesky little things that seem to be adding weight to your middle. Two years ago I started noticing that I was suffering from scale creep. Not enough weight gain to be alarming but enough that I starting thinking that I had better make […]

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 cake. This is a food […]

Hallmark Ice Cream Fried Chicken Bites
I watched a Hallmark movie last night! It was an awesome movie as always! It gave me an idea for a new recipe. In the movie, a chef used ice cream cones in the breading of fried chicken. What an awesome idea! I decided to create a new recipe using that idea. I must say, […]
