Now that my family has moved to Texas, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make Texas Caviar at our family BBQ last weekend. To celebrate Fourth of July, my brothers family, parents, and my family all got together! I volunteered to make my potato salad and this yummy caviar! This was definitely a ...

Cowboy Beans
Last weekend, our friend and Realtor over at Excel Real Estate Experts hosted an amazing BBQ. Not only did they have pony rides, carnival games, prizes, and more, but the food was AMAZING!!! When I ate the beans, I was in heaven and knew I had to get the recipe. I messaged his wife a few days later ...
Easy BBQ Baked Beans
Growing up, my mom used to make these for any parties, BBQ's, picnics, etc. Every time she would make these, I would always scoop tons onto my plate. They have definitely been a favorite of mine for years!! Not only are these packed with flavor, but they are incredibly simple to make as well. This ...
White Chicken Chili (slow cooker)
During the winter season, I love to make meals that are warm and hearty. I especially loves dinners that I can throw into my slow cooker and not have to worry about until its cooked and dinnertime!! A few nights ago I made this chili and it was delicious! My family and I ate it two nights in a row ...
Homemade Refried Beans
I don't know about you but it can be kind of gross opening a can of refried beans, plopping the beans into a pan and it staying in the form of the can. I decided, I wanted to try making my own since I had heard it was easy, I could control what went into it, and no more looking at beans in the shape ...
Chicken Caesar Salad w/ Crispy Garbanzo Beans

My kids are not big salad eaters, so I typically have to avoid adding salads to our dinners. I ended up whipping ...
Quinoa, Corn, and Black Bean Tacos
As I have mentioned before, my family buys the big bag of Quinoa from Costco. We love to eat Quinoa whenever we can, so we go through lots of it. Last night, I made these tacos for the family. The kids ate these without tortillas, so more like a casserole. The hubby and I enjoyed these like we would ...
Southwestern Quinoa and Black Bean Casserole
A few nights ago, I made this for dinner and we all loved it. The kids ate theirs as nachos, my hubby and I ate ours in a tortilla shell, and the next day, we ate it like a slice of casserole. Any way you choose to eat it, you will love it. It is packed full of flavor, veggies, and the many layers ...
Quinoa w/ Black Beans, Corn, and Feta
Believe it or not, I had never made Quinoa, never tasted it, etc. I had heard great things about it, but never bought any to try. I had mentioned my interest briefly to my husband one evening. He was in charge of the Costco run the next day and when he returned, he had bought a Costco sized bag of ...
