Hobnob Frozen Margaritas
View recipe: Hobnob Frozen MargaritasHave you ever read a blog post that starts with “so many of you have asked that I finally decided to share…”? Well, this is not one of those. I have, however, had at least three people ask for my frozen margarita recipe! And since I can’t say that a boatload of you have asked…

New York Style Crumb Cake
View recipe: New York Style Crumb CakeSo. I gazed out the window of the iconic Plaza Cafe in Santa Fe, NM, luxuriating in the crunchy brioche french toast dripping with syrup and the three perfectly cooked strips of the world’s best bacon, and revelled in the fact that I was not the one who got up early to cook it. Let’s…

Gumbo Weather
View recipe: Gumbo WeatherIn South Louisiana, at least the area in which I was privileged to live for a few years, there’s an actual season called “Gumbo Weather.” It begins around November when temperatures start to drop and continues well into February, or at least until many Cajuns strut their gumbo prowess on Super Bowl weekend. You won’t…

Mexican Street Corn
View recipe: Mexican Street CornRaise your hand if you think Mondays are hard. Raise your hand if the last thing you can muster up on a Monday is any kind of culinary creativity when dinnertime comes around.

Beignets
View recipe: BeignetsYears ago, as a young wife, I left Texas and most everyone I knew to move to the small Louisiana oil town of Morgan City.

Italian Wedding Soup
View recipe: Italian Wedding SoupLet’s see…Well first, I suppose, I might have long, luxuriously thick dark hair. And beautiful, glowing olive skin. Maybe I’d be thin. And leggy. Yes! I’d be fiery, mysterious, and sultry. I’d have the most glorious accent- I’d sing opera!! But wait. I’m not Italian. Not even a tiny bit. I haven’t even watched The…

Mandarin Orange Cake
View recipe: Mandarin Orange CakeDo you ever do things just to spite yourself? I know that sounds awful and very un-self-healthy and all, but really. Let’s say you’ve been working outside at the farm fixing fence all morning. Well, to be more clear, you have handed things to the main fence-fixer and gotten yourself wrapped up in the darn…

Mom’s Cookie Bars
View recipe: Mom’s Cookie BarsChances are you have a favorite treat from your childhood- something that brings to mind fond memories of the person who made it, or simply transports you back to that glorious time when food magically appeared in your kitchen requiring absolutely no planning, shopping, cooking, or spending on your part. These are that treat for…

Chicken Pot Pie with Puff Pastry Crust
View recipe: Chicken Pot Pie with Puff Pastry CrustI’ll admit. The crust on this beauty is a little over the top in more ways than one! It’s a bit rustic. A tad dramatic. Let’s just think of it like a Texas gal having big hair and being closer to God. Amen But it’s true, isn’t it, that the main attraction of a pot…

Pork (or Chicken) Chili Stew
View recipe: Pork (or Chicken) Chili StewI wish I could say I’m a planner, but I’m not. When everyone else is plotting out their new year on color-coded calendars (shout out to Kay who blocks out 10-11 am EVERY DAY for Price is Right!) and recording their calligraphy dreams in pretty bullet journals, I’m just gawking from the sidelines. I do…
