Chocolate Delight
Light and airy, this Chocolate Delight was a popular recipe during the hot summer months at my restaurant. Now that we are hitting 100 plus degrees here in Texas for weeks on end, I am reaching for this light and cool dessert yet again. This Chocolate Delight probably got its name from the layers of […]

Watergate Salad
Are you ready for a salad that will bring back memories of grandma? Here is another of my favorite “dinner on the ground” selections.

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 […]
