It's the rainy, lazy, napfest days of March. Weather like this makes me not want to do a darn thing. I guess I still need to get ready for work, though... This will probably end up being my last soup/stew/chili recipe of the season. I doubt we make it close to freezing again, and there's… Continue reading Cajun Chili

Brisket Chili
The quest for the best chili continues in my household. I've made chili only a handful of times in my life, each time something different. The last time I posted a chili recipe (a few years ago!) I made it with lentils and chicken. A time before, with pumpkin and turkey. I've made regular chilis… Continue reading Brisket Chili
Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Cherry Pepper Mayo
I whipped out my slow cooker the other day. It had been far too long since I last used my favorite kitchen device. Far too long.

I can't give you a good… Continue reading Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Cherry Pepper Mayo

It's not so much the days are hard to get through, but any time I feel super stressed out or have had a bad day--Mexican food is there to cure my blues. Usually I would dive head first into a pile of salt tortilla chips and… Continue reading Fish Taco Salad with Shrimp & Avocado Salsa
Thai Turkey Salad
There's one weird quirk about me and food. I can't eat anything that's blue. I mean unusually blue---I'm not talking about blueberries or blue crab. I'm talking neon-blue-ish. Remember many moons ago when Heinz released blue, green and purple ketchups? I couldn't bring myself to eat the stuff, even if it did taste exactly like… Continue reading Thai Turkey Salad
Tex-Mex Turkey Sloppy Joe’s
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. A good substitute for any ground beef dish is ground turkey. Season it up well and it's pretty much and… Continue reading Tex-Mex Turkey Sloppy Joe’s
