Here in Houston, summer means temperatures of 100 + degrees and 100% humidity! While we aren't quite to 100 yet, we are quite close at a balmy 95 degrees. I have been trying to plan meals that don't require an oven as the last thing I want to do, is heat up my house. Since my hubby loves to smoke ...

Biscuit Breakfast Casserole
A few nights ago, I was in the mood for a quick and easy dinner. Since I had breakfast sausage on hand in my freezer, I decided to make a "breakfast dinner". It is incredibly simple to make and you can change it up depending on what you want. If you prefer bacon, cook it up and use it in place of ...
Texas Armadillo Eggs
Before I get to the recipe, I must state that these are not actual armadillo eggs. I don't want you to take a look at the name and think "gross, I can't try that", because trust me, this is one recipe you don't want to miss out on!! Being in Texas nowadays, my hubby and I have been trying all ...

A few days ago, my mom told me about a recipe she came across on Pinterest. She was intrigued by it since it was a cross between lasagna and spaghetti. Since I love both of those things, I was eager to try it too!! We ended up putting it together in no time, and let me tell you, IT MADE TONS! It ...
Creamy Tomato Vodka Pasta w/ Sausage
A few nights ago, my mom made this for my dad and her. She sent over her recipe and this yummy photo and said that it was a must try. After seeing the picture, I agreed!!

Biscuits and Gravy Casserole
When my husband and I got married, I quickly realized he loved biscuits and gravy, and I really did not. Over the years, I have tried the dish at a few restaurants and slowly have changed my mind. I now really like it and think of it as a delicious comfort food dish! Its great since it can be a ...
