Cracking eggs one carton at a time.
Steering clear of sweet stuff has been so hard, y'all. I haven't had chocolate, or ice cream, or pie...or any goodies that always seem to make it into the newsroom. I did try some Halo Top ice cream last weekend and it was great. Other than that, I've had zilch. Zero. Negative sugar count. You… Continue reading Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites
I have to get something off my chest: I loathe melons. Watermelon and honeydew. Gross. I'd rather eat a handful of rocks than those two fruits. And don't even get me started on cantaloupe; that stuff was truly sent to earth by the devil. Cantaloupe has always been on my relatively short 'Do Not Eat'… Continue reading Peach Berry Summer Fruit Salad

Since I'm botulism free (I think), I'm celebrating by eating all the good stuff. My coworker brought… Continue reading Cherry Pie Cookies
Confession time: I don't really like peanut butter. Before you throw me to the wolves, hear me out. It's not that I don't like peanut butter. I'm just not a rabid fan of the stuff. Will I eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Of course! Will I purposefully seek one out to make? Not… Continue reading Buckeye Brownies
There are a few culinary treasures that the state of Texas holds near and dear to its heart. I'm talking chicken fried steak, cheese enchiladas with chili gravy, Texas toast, and steak-on-garlic sandwiches. Brisket is done best in the great state of Texas. Iced tea is always served with sugar on the side. One sweet… Continue reading White Texas Sheet Cake
