Today I’m sharing with you my Perfect Summer Burger recipe. Perfect Summer Burger Prep Time: 5 min Cook Time : varies depending how you like your burger cooked (I recommend an {Read More}
This post brought to you by Mrs. Smith’s. All opinions are 100% mine. Right before Thanksgiving I was having a conversation with a friend and she asked me what my favorite thing about The Holidays was. Without hesitation, I answered… pie. LOL, now honestly, there are many things that I love about this time of year, NOT just pie…but it is definitely pretty high on my list. Pie makes all celebrations this time of year more enjoyable as a sweet {Read More}
Let me tell you what a treat it was to open my 2nd shipment (read about my first shipment HERE) from the California Wine Club to find that my Holiday wines had been festively wrapped up in pretty foil bags. It was a little thing, yes…but such a nice touch. Once I took the wines out of their bags, I realized I was in for a really big treat. That’s because the 2009 Central Coast Merlot and the 2011 Santa {Read More}
By now everyone has to know how much I love cheese, and after getting to know Tillamook earlier this year, I happen to really love their cheese a lot. Recently, they asked a group of bloggers to create recipes using their delicious products, The Recipepalooza was the result. Be sure to check it out, it features lots of great recipe ideas you could use during the Holidays like Pepper Jack Mac & Cheese, Queso Blanco, and my Sour Cream {Read More}
Right before the Holiday craziness that was Thanksgiving swept over me, I had the opportunity to spend an evening at Berryhill Baja Grill in West University with my fellow blogger April and her best friend. We also had all our kiddos in tow, for a total of 5 kids during our menu tasting dinner…but Berryhill loves kids and was totally prepared for us. Berryhill brought kid menus that double as coloring sheets to the table with some crayons and {Read More}
There is nothing like celebrating The Holidays with family and friends. This time of year is my absolute favorite! All the decorations, Holiday gatherings, and the food! OH the food. This year, I was lucky to be able to try out a 2 month subscription to The California Wine Club just in time for my Holiday gatherings. The California Wine Club is different than other wine clubs you may have tried in the past because they feature artisan wines from {Read More}
If you know me well, you know that me being a true Texas gal I absolutely cannot resist good Mexican food. Seriously, it is one of my favorite cuisines, and Berryhill Baja Grill Restaurant (from right here in the Houston area!) makes some of the best Mexican dishes I have ever had! For those of you that don’t know… Berryhill Baja Grill is a highly acclaimed, Houston-based restaurant chain that features unique, baja-style cuisine. Their tantalizing south-of-the-border menu is much {Read More}
In high school I would often study after school at my best friends house. We would hang out, do flash cards together for our Spanish class, and chow down on the most amazing food made by her mom. One of the best things she would make for us was fancy sandwiches. No white bread and bologna ever entered her kitchen! These sandwiches were awesome and featured fancy 9 grain bread, unique cheeses, and delicious deli meat. I had it down {Read More}
This post brought to you by Quaker Oats. All opinions are 100% mine. Making good choices for breakfast has always been a struggle for me. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE breakfast foods…I just seem to always want the ones that aren’t good for me. You know… junk like donuts, danish, and drive-thru sandwiches that are high in calories and hardly healthy. But since I’m often in a hurry in the morning it is all too easy to grab {Read More}
First off, I have to say a BIG thanks to Lori for giving me the heads up about Bountiful Baskets…because if it wasn’t for her…I wouldn’t even be writing this post right now. Thanks girl! So, you’re probably wondering what Bountiful Baskets is anyway. Well, to put it simply it is a volunteer run food co-op. Basically they buy HUGE amounts of produce and then pass the savings onto the buyer. Some sites also offer things like honey, home baked {Read More}
