Cracking eggs one carton at a time.
Egg salad sandwiches are to the south what cheesesteaks are to Philly. I've grown up on the cold salad sandwiches. They're the best lunchtime sandwiches for a hot summer day. My usual egg salad is simple: mayonnaise, a squirt of mustard, sweet relish, dill, and S&P. I've had the filling on everything: bread, buns, tortillas--sometimes… Continue reading Cobb Egg Salad
We've pretty much gotten rid of beef from our diet. Except for the occasional steak (you can't completely give up beef from your diet if your a Texan) beef is rarely made in my kitchen.

Needless to say, although my weekend was productive in the capacity that I didn't lounge around at home for two days---it was also completely unproductive. I'm just now getting around to my… Continue reading Bavarian Meatball Sandwiches
Happy 7-11 Day! Want to know something weird about 7-11? The ones in Oklahoma are not associated with the nationwide (and now worldwide) chain AT ALL. Yep. You read that right. Since the Oklahoma chain only shares a trademark and logo with the nationwide one, we don't get Slurpees...we get Icy drinks. They both taste… Continue reading Teriyaki Turkey Sliders
