Fuego Fresco
You all know I love a good cocktail, and one with tequila, cucumbers and jalapenos, yum….. But with the addition of egg white? What? I had never heard of adding egg whites to a drink, but the thought is genius. The egg white is mostly for visual presentation and texture on the tongue, as it […]
Pasta Carbonara with Corn and Chilies
Carbonara is something I’ve been wanting to try for some time now, but never had the chance, till last week. I ran across this Rachael Ray creation and couldn’t resist the beautiful picture in the magazine. Her recipe calls for some ingredients that are hard to get in my grocery store, so I changed some of them to […]
Homemade Dishwasher Soap
I found this super simple dishwasher soap recipe when I was blog browsing a week ago. I knew I wanted to try it immediately. What can I say, I am a sucker for homemade, and I love this homemade Laundry detergent, so I thought I would love this, too. Plus, I had most of the ingredients […]

Fresh Tomato and Basil Sauce
One major perk of blogging, and blogging recipes more specifically, is that just about everyone is willing to share excellent recipes with me. I will just be casually visiting and since everyone who reads my blog knows how much I love to cook, they will share, it’s awesome. Specifically, Cheri, our Museum director and I […]
Stuffed Bell Peppers
Stuffed Peppers from the garden, what a treat. Bell peppers are one of my favorite things to grow each year. As we live in the Texas heat, peppers always do really well for us. In fact, last year our pepper plants lasted from May all the way through November. Good thing we love them. There […]
Fried Green Tomatoes
Ever since DT started gardening I’ve slowly been forced encouraged to take an active role in the garden and I’ve wanted to make fried green tomatoes. Of course, one of my all time favorite movies could have slightly influenced me, though year after year we always let the tomatoes ripen and use them in the […]
Zucchini Brownies II
This is surely turning into one of my favorites ways to make zucchini. My niece, one of the pickiest eaters I’ve ever known, ate about half the pan. Even after we told her they had zucchini in them, she loved them. Truth be known the zucchini melts into these brownies and you can’t taste it […]
Zucchini Brownies I
I made this recipe last May, took pictures, saved them on my computer, and promptly forgot about them. Until I asked on facebook what are some of your favorite ways to cook zucchini and my friend Keri reminded me of this very recipe. A recipe that she shared with me last May that I quickly […]
Zucchini Bread
This time of year when the zucchini over run our household I try to get creative with the things I can put Zukes in. This recipe is one of my favorites to double and bake in a variety of different pans and freeze. It’s perfect for a midday snack or dare I say it, even […]
