Growing up, my mom always placed a big importance on family dinners. Every night, she would prepare a homemade meal with tasty dessert. My family would all gather around the table and share stories from our days. At the time, I didn't think anything of it because to me, that was normal, but now, ...
Sausage
Chicken and Sausage Gumbo
Now, before I go into this recipe, I want you all to know, I have never been to New Orleans, didn't grow up around authentic Cajun food, and up until recently...my version of Cajun food was Zatarain's red beans and rice from the store, haha! So, for all you true Cajun lovers out there, I don't know ...
Shrimp Foil Packets
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 ...

Ever since my mom introduced my hubby and I to stuffed jalapenos, we have been hooked. Anytime that grill is fired up, we are adding jalapenos to the meal plan! There is nothing better than the crisp bacon, creamy goat cheese, all in a jalapeno!! I decided to change things up a bit this time ...
Slow Cooker Tortellini Soup
When the weather is cold and gloomy, one of my favorite things to cook is soup in the slow cooker. This past week, my hubby has been out of town, so I have been trying to keep meals extra "kid friendly". When I put this soup together, I went into knowing that most likely I would hear, "what's that ...
Biscuits and Gravy Skillet
My hubby is a huge fan of breakfast. Me on the other hand, not so much. However, the one thing we both thoroughly enjoy for breakfast is biscuits and gravy. Even my kids are huge fans. Typically, I make it in a casserole form, but since I have been trying to use my cast iron skillet a bit more these ...
Baked Spasanga
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 ...
