Oh boy, this recipe is a doozy. I spotted it in my St. Paul Lutheran Church cookbook from Vernon, Texas and knew I had to make it. "Armadillo eggs" are stuffed jalapenos wrapped in a sausage-cheese mixture. This recipe also called for rolling them in Shake n' Bake mix, which I did. This is a… Continue reading Armadillo Eggs

Cactus Corn
I was perusing through my cookbook collection this weekend and I found a splattered and tattered church cookbook that was from Vernon, Texas. The St. Paul Lutheran Church cookbook was from the early 80's and included recipes by my cousin (hi Cindy!). Most of my family (on my grandmother's side) attended and/or attends that church,… Continue reading Cactus Corn
Green Chile Sausage Quiche
This isn't your normal, frou-frou quiche. The French would be aghast at the sight of this. Brunch fanatics would probably talk about this quiche behind its back. This is a tried-and-true Southwestern/Texan quiche. With the use of green chiles and sausage, you get a spicy punch every time you take a bite. Quiche is usually… Continue reading Green Chile Sausage Quiche
Mexican Kale Salad
Salads have become a major part of my life. I don't have time to heat up my lunch at work, so I almost always pack a salad. It's easy to just grab and eat while in the midst of a major work crunch. I'm starting to run out of salad recipes, though. I want to… Continue reading Mexican Kale Salad
Schnitzel Beans
Texas has a rich history that many don't know about. Growing up in Texas, you learn all about the Alamo, San Jacinto and Stephen F. Austin. But there's another piece of history that's a big part of Texas' formation: the great German migration. In the 1830's, German migration to Texas was spearheaded by a German… Continue reading Schnitzel Beans
Spring Roll Salad
Thank God Oklahoma had a cold front move through last week. We were busy melting away up until last Thursday. Instead of low 80's during the day and 50-60s at night, which is the typical case for May, Oklahoma was having a heatwave of upper 90's during the day and high 70s at night. It… Continue reading Spring Roll Salad
Sweet & Spicy Chili Noodles
I love experimenting with my husband's lunches. I don't mean I'm concocting some kind of weird things to put in his lunches like worms and dirt. I like to mix it up between the things he really likes, while occasionally slipping in something new for him to try. He likes a specific flavors and textures,… Continue reading Sweet & Spicy Chili Noodles
Hot Honey Chicken Salad
I'm trying to get in this mindset that we're living in a much warmer season than it actually is. I'm dreaming of summer, cicadas chirping, beads of sweat rolling down my forehead, and long sunsets. Instead, what I'm actually living in is barren trees, ice crystals on my windshield, and a churning heater. I'm sick… Continue reading Hot Honey Chicken Salad
Jamaican Jerk Turkey Meatballs
By now, most of your know I'm a seasoning fanatic. I've got jars upon jars of seasoning in my cabinet. I'm also quite fond of making my own seasoning. When I couldn't find any jerk seasoning at the store a few weeks ago, I made my own. I already had most ingredients on hand, so… Continue reading Jamaican Jerk Turkey Meatballs
Football Empanadas
I've finally come full circle. This recipe is one of the first recipes I ever posted to this blog nearly 8 years ago. I was just using my phone to take pictures then, long before I got a professional camera to use. I remember making it for a dinner party at a friend's house after… Continue reading Football Empanadas
