Cracking eggs one carton at a time.
There's been radio silence on my end the past few days because I haven't been able to move. Literally. Not because I'm injured, or in pain---no. It's because our air conditioner went out late Saturday night, and Rob and I have spent the last two hottest days of the year (so far) with just the… Continue reading BBQ Chicken Bowls
Are you noticing a trend lately? A spicy, full-flavored trend? I've been on a Mexican food kick here for the past few weeks. I can't explain it. I guess it was inspired by the Cinco de Mayo holiday last weekend, and it's just continued from there.

You've got… Continue reading Barbecue Ranch Chicken Casserole

The creamy confection that your Aunt brings tubs of to family barbecues. Banana pudding is the ultimate summer fare. It's so refreshing to dip your spoon in the banana-Nilla wafer-whipped cream concoction after… Continue reading Banana Pudding Bread
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
