I'm more than halfway done Christmas shopping and it's not even December yet. I consider that a win. Usually, I'm one of those crazy people making a mad dash for the stores on December 23rd. I'm a perpetual procrastinator at all things in life, Christmas shopping included. I'll even fight the two things I hate… Continue reading Salsa Verde Chicken Casserole
If you could only live off of one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? That's an easy answer for me: tacos. There are so many different tacos to choose from, and my personal favorite are fish, shrimp, and pork. I've even been known to dive head first into a few… Continue reading Pineapple & Pulled Pork Tacos

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
I made this recipe last week before the unbearable heat struck Oklahoma. I mean, it was still hot, but it wasn't as hot as it is now. I like the warmth and homeyness of casseroles. You can credit my growing up in a Southern household to my unabashed love for the baking dish dinner. They're simple,… Continue reading Chicken Tortilla Bake
