I’m going to preface this post by saying that when I’m stressed, I don’t always make the best food choices. My first experience with a Zagnut candy bar (outside of the movie Beetlejuice) came a few months ago when James and I embarked on a DIY project of sorts. You see, we overhauled our kitchen …

<center My parents are known for their routines. Since I was about 12 years old, they’ve visited the same Mexican restaurant every Friday night – or at least, they did until they moved across town last year. Believe it or not, they’ll still make the 45 minute drive across San Antonio every now and then …
A while back, I attended a cooking demonstration at our nearby King’s Supermarket. The demonstration was taught by none other than Chef Lala, one of my favorite Latina chefs. Why is she one of my favorites? Because she’s dedicated to healthy living and tons of flavor! In person, Chef Lala is bright and bubbly, passionate …
It’s time for another Secret Recipe Club! I honestly can’t believe it’s already that time again. It’s been a crazy four weeks since I posted that Lemon Pineapple Cream Pie, and it went by faster than I’d like to admit! When I opened my assignment email this month, I was stoked! I’ve been assigned Heather’s …
When it comes time for Secret Recipe Club assignments, I always feel a little like I’m opening a Christmas present when I open the email from our group organizer, Jane. Who will it be? Do I know them? What will I make? This month my email led me to Megan’s Cookin’. Megan is new to …
It took me a while to join the Pinterest bandwagon, I’ll admit. I wasn’t really down with one more time suck. In fact, I’m proud that I’m still quite force-ably limiting myself to about an hour a week in browsing the site. But let it never be said that women aren’t visual creatures, you know …
It’s been a while since we did a Fritos Friday, hasn’t it? So far we’ve done Fritos Jets, Fritos Chocolate Crunchies, and my favorite, Casey’s Fritos Ballpark Toffee. Since everything we’ve done for Fritos Friday so far has been a sweet treat, I decided this Fritos Friday should be in the savory vein. Fritos are …
These may be my new favorite wine o’clock snack. For serious. Can anything make you feel more adult and grown up than a glass of crisp delicious wine and a few homemade nibbles to go with it? I found this recipe for Cheese Herb Crisps on Sargento’s website and immediately knew I’d be making it …
Remember when I made those delicious pork egg rolls? Well, as James and I rolled them out, we realized we’d have a few extra egg roll wrappers hanging around after we worked through the pork filling. My mind immediately flew back to one of the most incredible desserts I’ve ever had: the Banana and Sea …
Last year, I got to visit King Arthur Flour’s Baking Education Center with a slew of other bloggers. I’d never met any of them before, but there’s something about baking together that will make a group of folks instantly feel like family. Fiona from A Boston Food Diary is one of the bloggers I got …
