Amaretto Cookies
Where has the time gone? Seriously? I know I keep saying that, but I’m going to say it one more time: this year is flying by! I feel like someone pressed fast forward on the time machine. I don’t really have a time machine, but I sure […]
ITALIAN NACHOS
One of my favorite restaurants in the DFW Metroplex is Terilli’s. It’s a been a Dallas landmark for the past several decades. Mr. Man took me here for one of our first dates, and it’s been a favorite ever since. It was in an small, old […]
Blackberry Cobbler
I know it’s getting late in the season to find blackberries for too much longer but this is always what I put on my Labor Day menu. We have tons of blackberry bushes around my house and I try to pick as many as I […]
MISSISSIPPI POT ROAST
I can’t imagine how many pot roast recipes I’ve tried over the years. I always seemed to stick to the old Campbell soup recipe with cream of mushroom soup and dry onion soup. This pot roast is so much better! So here’s the cast of […]

LEMON RICOTTA CHEESECAKE WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE
It’s time for another cheesecake recipe. The last time I made cheesecake, it was as classic as cheesecake gets, and it was amazing. But I recently decided that I was ready to branch out in my cheesecake baking skills and try some new flavors. Starting […]
Goulash Recipe
Okay, what I’m about to tell you may seem a little weird. I’ve never made goulash before this. I know, I know, it’s pretty standard fare. I have certainly eaten my fair share, and I’ve made lots and lots of Hamburger Helper, which this dish […]
THE BEST PANCAKES YOU WILL EVER HAVE!
I am definitely a breakfast girl. I have to eat breakfast within 30 minutes of waking up, or else my stomach growls like crazy, and I’m extremely hungry. My usual breakfast is oatmeal and fruit, but on weekends (normally Sundays), we go all out.Omelets, Eggs […]
Fried Green Tomatoes
There’s just something magical about the first bite of a perfectly fried green tomato. The crispy, golden crust giving way to that signature tangy-yet-sweet burst of flavor from the still-firm tomato inside. It’s a taste of the South that instantly transports me back to my […]
Old Fashioned Carrot Cake
There’s a show on Food Network: The Best Thing I Ever Ate. And I think this carrot cake qualifies as one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Seriously, it’s that good. And I’ve had hundreds of people tell me that too. Really. You see, […]
