Roasted Cheesy Tomatoes
On our 5th wedding anniversary DT and I took a trip to Galveston and we ate at the famous Gaidos restaurant. Gaidos is a “fancy” seafood restaurant right on the beach of Galveston, the food is so delicious and so fresh! I ate the fresh tuna and DT had the fried platter and as a […]
Roasted Corn and Avocado Salad
This salad is my newest obsession. I’ve made it twice already and it’s so good I don’t want to share. I just want it all to my greedy little self. It’s bright flavors, creaminess of the avocados, slight spice of the seasonings, marries together so well. It’s the perfect summer salad. And if you can […]
The Ultimate Dressing
I am so excited to be sharing this recipe with you. In our family we call it “Momma’s Dressing”, but for you guys I renamed it The Ultimate Dressing, because it really is like no other. My maternal Grandma (Memaw) makes this dressing twice a year, Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I always am eagerly awaiting […]

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 […]
Mexican Rice

Chopped Salad with Fried Garbanzo Beans
I am always in search of a really good salad with fresh and unique ingredients that make it so much more exciting to eat. I ran across this recipe in the Oprah Magazine and saw fried garbanzo beans, interesting. Never had that before and knew I had to try it. Needless to say this salad is a […]
Cauliflower Fritters
One of my favorite things about having a vegetable garden is almost being forced into creating new recipes. Take the cauliflower this year, it did so amazing I was “forced” to create two new dishes we absolutely love. A little bit of time and effort working the dirt, planting, and watering. That’s it. We’ve basically […]

Zucchini has been on the mind and table a lot lately. So we are trying all kinds of new and delicious ways to eat the versatile veggie. We tried this the other day and it’s quickly becoming a new family favorite that will be making an appearance sooner rather than later. One of the great […]
