Slow Cooker Monday…Calico Beans
Calico beans are a hearty filling dish. Sometimes served as a main dish, other times as a side dish…. Calico beans can really hold their own. Calico simply means multi bean. I’ve seen versions with Lima beans. I’ve seen versions with Butter beans. I prefer Pinto, Red and Great Northern beans. You can add bacon …
Chicken Migas
Generally I agree with The Pioneer Woman on most food related issues. To me though, Migas is not Migas without Chorizo. Chorizo is really greasy and fatty though. A local market, I adore Sprouts Farmer’s Market, sells ground chicken chorizo. I decided to give the chicken a try and boy, howdy I’m glad I did. …
Rainy Day Garden Gab
Welcome to rain-apocalypse 2012 at least that is how the weather team on T.V. is treating it. It’s been raining here for a little over 12 hours. Storming, wind howling, thunder booming, lightning flashing, big, cold drops of rain falling. Since we just planted the garden, this is a blessing and a curse. Water …
Bitchin’ Shepherd’s Pie
I was once again inspired by Bitchin’ Kitchen. We had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday, filled with lots of family, lots of together time and (for me) lots of cooking. We had dinner out on Wednesday night, I was thrilled and fortunate to meet a new friend. My husband’s childhood friend. We had dinner with Melissa …
Slow it Down, Slow cooker beef stew.
The Winner of my Yoplait giveaway was Linda of Savoring Every Bite! She recently posted a lovely Pumpkin Rugelach recipe that you should totally check out! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I adore my slow cookers.

Meatless Monday….3 bean soup.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend! We’ve had a wonderful weekend here in central Texas. The Texas State Fair opened on Friday, we’re planning to visit the fair tomorrow (Tuesday). My children have Monday and Tuesday off this week, for the fair and a teacher in-service (6 weeks grade entering day). On Sunday …
Mini, but mighty meaty.
I must confess, I make meatloaf using muffin pans. Is that strange? Probably. See, sometimes it’s like Dinner Time Fight Club around here. Everybody, and I mean everybody wants the crunchy bits. How can I make everybody happy and support family harmony? Mini meatloaf. It’s the only why I know how to make sure everyone …
Red Tortilla Soup with Chicken
I love soups…love them…gobble them up. Soups freeze well, they taste better on day two or day three, I love soup. If it’s a Tex-Mex soup….even better. Tex-Mex is one of my true food loves. Maybe it’s because I’m from Texas, maybe it’s just because Tex-Mex is Awesomesauce. If you’re in the northern part of …
Kids ~VS~ Veggies…
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! We had a very nice weekend. School starts today. This is bittersweet. While I am glad to have a little time to myself to chill out, shop or clean…I will miss them. A lot. Since I’ve got kiddo on the brain, I have a kid-centric post for …
Garden Gab, week 21….a cool down, a loss and a nursery rhyme
Mary Mary quite contrary, How does your garden grow? With silver bells and cockle shells And pretty maids all in a row, And pretty maids all in a row. That’s how the nursery rhyme goes, however I was disturbed when I looked up the meaning of the rhyme. It’s about Queen Mary, torture and executions. …
