If you've been reading my blog for a little while now, you know how much I love to make Mexican food at home. I'm always on the lookout for a new twist or a new dish to use those wonderful combination of flavors. There's just something about that avocado, cilantro and fresh toppings paired with bold flavors and melty cheese. So when I came across these baked tacos, I knew they would be a … Read More
Honestly, I hardly ever buy the packets of taco seasoning. I usually just throw in several different seasonings (chili powder, etc.) to taste. I thought it would be great to try and make my own seasoning mix where I didn't have to continue to taste and wing it but have some already mixed up, ready to throw into the skillet. I used this in a new awesome recipe that I will be sharing later … Read More
I love hushpuppies, especially with seafood or barbecue. And I love to dip them in ketchup or sometimes tarter sauce. But the thought of frying at home still intimidates me quite a bit, though I need to get over that, but I just hate the greasy smell and mess of frying at home. So, I wanted to try and bake hushpuppies and see how they turned out. These were really good! They had a slight … Read More
There's the cutest little restaurant downtown where I live and they have awesome sandwiches and the best Blackberry Lemonade ever!! It's like sweet nectar!! We only go and get the lemonade for a special treat every now and again, but it's so good! With blackberries in their prime right now and on sale at the store, I thought it would be perfect to try making my own at home. While mine wasn't … Read More
One awesome thing about our trip to St. James's Club in Antigua was the All Inclusive Meal Plan. You got breakfast, lunch and dinner with appetizers and desserts included! Breakfast everyday was an expansive buffet with a variety of fruits, proteins, potatoes, cereals, breads and my personal favorite, the omelet station. They had chefs that made your omelet to order and I partook everyday … Read More
During this pregnancy, I've been craving beef quite a bit. I don't normally eat that much beef but I can't seem to get enough lately. We grill out burgers a lot, but I wanted to have something a little bit different and more comforting. My mom made hamburger steak with gravy quite a bit growing up and I always loved it. This was super easy to put together and the gravy was delicious! This … Read More
As I mentioned Wednesday, Adam & I just got back from our Babymoon to Antigua. It was incredible! We are so blessed to have had the opportunity to get away before we have our baby girl! It was so nice to relax and recoop and get refreshed. St. James's Club was such a nice resort and everyone working there was super friendly and helpful and always greeted us when we walked by them. Our … Read More
If you follow me on social media, then you know that last week my husband & I escaped to the Caribbean for a week of fun in the sun! I'll be sharing about that later this week. As usual, it's been challenging to get back in the swing of things after such a relaxing week of no responsibilities. Thankfully, I made this bread before we left so I have something to share with you all this … Read More
My mom's birthday was this past weekend and she asked for a fruity dessert that didn't have a ton of sugar, so I went in search of something that could utilize the delicious peaches that I got from the farmer's market. I found this recipe that uses granola & oats in the topping which gave a nice crunchy and sweet topping that I really loved. This dish was comforting and summery all at … Read More
Hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July! It's forecast for major major rain where I live, but we are still going to a cookout with our friends and even with the rain, I'm looking forward to a day off.
