It’s been way too long since we did a Fritos Friday, don’t you think? I can’t imagine a better way to celebrate things slowly getting back to normal around here than a mound of Barbecue Fritos covered with pulled pork, chili beans, cheddar cheese, and a little parsley to brighten things up. Hurricane Sandy may …
We all have them: recipes in the arsenal straight from Mom’s kitchen. We rarely mess with them because really, why mess with perfection? One of my favorite things about cooking from memory is that you have that select set of go-to, weeknight meals that speak to you heart the same way a hug from your …
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.

Bluebonnets and Brownies 2011-09-01 1 hour 1 pie The other week, Jennie put out the request that we all make a peanut butter pie for the ones we love. I was definitely inspired, only, the one I love is as anti-peanut butter as you can get without actually being allergic to peanuts. I was pretty …
Everyone has their favorite chicken and dumplings recipe. I’ve even blogged about what I thought was mine. But the other night, come 5:30, I was struggling with dinner ideas when an intense craving for chicken and dumplings hit me. With the nearest Cracker Barrel over an hour away, waiting for The Brit to get home …
