It's getting really close to Christmas, y'all. Every Monday during the month of December I take a minute to gather my thoughts. What Christmas presents do I have left to buy? When should I start shopping for Christmas dinner? What all needs to be cleaned before family comes down? That list is getting shorter and… Continue reading Cranberry Orange Scones

Classic King Ranch Casserole
Let's take a break from the holiday baking, shall we? In the midst of my cookie fervor, I've been making simple dinners that will last.

Southwestern Corn & Potato Chowder
This recipe is a throwback. It's one that I've had stashed away in a recipe box for years. It might actually be one of the first recipes I wrote down on a note card 10+ years ago. It's 2019 and I now have 4 recipe boxes full of handwritten note card recipes. I don't know… Continue reading Southwestern Corn & Potato Chowder
