A couple of weeks ago, my neighbor hosted a Halloween party. Everyone invited was in charge of bringing an appetizer to share, so I made a batch of guacamole and had it coming out of the mouth of a carved pumpkin. One of my neighbors made this pumpkin dip and not only was it incredibly simple to ...
Appetizers
Quick Calzones
Last week, my son came home from school and said he was in the mood to make dinner for the family. I am never one to turn down a night off from cooking, but since he is in 4th grade, I had to look around to see what was "kid friendly" for him to make. I ended up having everything on hand for these ...
Texas Trash Dip
A few weeks ago, my neighbors were having a dinner party and I volunteered to bring an appetizer. Since chips and dip are always hits at any party, I decided to make a new dip!! I added the ingredients into a disposable pan, popped it in the oven, and the end result was definitely a hit!! The ...
Bacon Wrapped Hatch Peppers
If you aren't from the Houston area, or have never been to Houston, you are probably wondering what the heck a hatch pepper is, right? Well, up until about 2 months ago, I was right there with you. My husband and I moved to Houston back in January and it wasn't hatch pepper season yet. We were ...

Taco Pizza Rolls
Lately, my youngest son has been asking for tacos just about every night for dinner. I don't know why he is so obsessed with them, especially since most nights, he only eats about half. Keep in mind, he just turned 5, so maybe this is just a phase! Since the rest of my family and I weren't in the ...
Chopped Caprese Salad
A few weeks ago, for Easter, my brother and his family, and my hubby and our family all headed over to my parents house for Easter dinner. My mom made her most amazing marinated chicken, I made my potato salad and deviled eggs, and my sister in law brought this chopped caprese salad. One look at it ...
