I tried to get a picture of the taco all folded up nice, but then you couldn't see anything/it just kept flopping open. So open-face taco picture for you all! We had this for dinner last night (and I had for lunch today - woo leftovers!). If you're wanting to jazz up...
This originally appeared as a guest post over at This Enchanted Pixie. Slow cookers are one of the easiest ways to make a tasty meal, and are especially handy for those days when you know you're going to have a jam-packed evening with no time to cook dinner. This...
Ok. Truth? Sometimes I am just too hungry to bother taking a crap-ton of photos of whatever we're cooking. And/or checking to make sure what few photos I take are actually decent. But sometimes the food results are just so yummy I have to share despite that. This is...
This is a simple, tasty recipe the boy & I have been enjoying lately. I found it in one of my cooking magazines (yes, I get those - two, in fact) and decided to try it out. It doesn't take long, and it's yummy even when re-heated as leftovers - two of my criteria...

This past weekend, the boy and I tried our hand at mini breakfast pastries - specifically, mini sausage rolls and fruit danishes. It was, without doubt, a rousing success. These things are YUMMY. So I thought I'd share the recipes for each today on the blog. 🙂 They...
Today's recipe brought to you by my Mexican-food-loving boyfriend, Ian, who has gotten me addicted to it as well (probably a good thing, since we are in Texas and all). He's the stud you'll see assembling things in the pics below. These are simple and delicious. And I...
Yes, that's right - homemade Chex Mix! All the tastiness of the store-bought stuff, but tailored to the bits you like. For example, none of those mini breadsticks or toasted bagel slices or rye chips. Unless of course you want them. I don't, particularly. If I had my...
Ever wake up on a winter morning with a sore throat, even though you're perfectly healthy? Well, don't fret - you're likely not sick, just parched. The cold winter weather tends to dry out the air in a lot of homes, mine included. It also dries out my hands, but...
This gem of a recipe is from my younger sister, Marisa. She made it at a family Thanksgiving in Michigan years ago, and I've been hooked ever since. This is WAY better than the traditional northern version with marshmallows - blech. It gets rave reviews at any potluck...
