Ah, the rain. Lovely rain. These past few days we've seen it rain almost non-stop. I'm okay with that. I pretty much hate the sun. Cloudy, overcast, drizzly weather is what I prefer. I would like to see some sunshine today, though. We're having our annual storm chaser barbecue at our Chief Meteorologist's house, and… Continue reading Texas Caviar Dip

Curry Kale Chips
It has been one ill-prepared ice storm after another, here in Oklahoma. And by ill-prepared, I mean the storm itself wasn't prepared. Forecasts, meteorologists, even the National Weather Service warned everyone about impending doom...and then? Nothing. Not a speck of ice. Temperatures would hover in the low 30's, but never dip like they were supposed to. Bread,… Continue reading Curry Kale Chips
Chipotle-Lime Tex Mix
Yesterday, I shared this sweet snack mix recipe with y'all. I ended up making two different snack mix treats as Christmas gifts for my coworkers, and the other one is this Chipotle-Lime snack mix recipe you will find below! Since there are technically no "Chex" cereal in this savory mix, I decided I would swap out the… Continue reading Chipotle-Lime Tex Mix
Cake Batter Puppy Chow
I've been pretty lucky with nailing new cooking techniques on the first try. That is, until yesterday. No matter how hard I tried---I could not melt white chocolate. I started with 8 oz. white chocolate morsels directly in a pan with my flavoring add-ins (butter, almond extract and butter extract). Boy, was that a mistake. I felt… Continue reading Cake Batter Puppy Chow
Caramelized Onion Pizzettes
It's been a busy week in the Wilson-Welcher household. We've celebrated birthdays, retirements, and won some awards. I had Rob convinced, for the week leading up to his birthday, that I was not going to bake him a cake for his birthday. Boy, was he surprised when he came home to find this double chocolate,… Continue reading Caramelized Onion Pizzettes
Veggie Pinwheels
I have a strange fascination with pinwheels. And not just of the food variety. I love the shiny, iridescent plastic ones that kids stick into the front yard and then watch spin around in the breeze. I had a coworker who had a miniature one on her desk and I couldn't help but flick it every time I walked… Continue reading Veggie Pinwheels
Mini Corndog Muffins
Sometimes I feel like I have the culinary tastes of a four-year-old. I can eat hotdogs cold with ketchup, love a good smiley face potato, and my heart flutters when somebody says "ice cream". My palette has definitely expanded over the years, but I still like the simple foods in life. And there's not much… Continue reading Mini Corndog Muffins
