Chicken Taco Salad
Taco Salad, remade. When I was young, my mother made taco salad all the time. Ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, pinto beans, Catalina dressing and Doritos. We had this version of taco salad almost weekly. When I married and became the “cook” I began making the salad too. It’s very kid friendly, it’s …
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 …
Slow Cookin’ Monday
One of the fun things about cooking is experimenting. The more comfortable you get in your kitchen, and with your kitchen tools, the more likely you are to get really creative. I’m fairly comfortable with my slow cooker. So, I mess about sometimes. On December 1st I cooked another turkey. We’re “tentatively” calling it December …
Slow Cookin’ Monday…….
I’m going to talk about beans this week. I think that beans are one of the items that I almost exclusively cook in my slow cooker. It’s the easiest way I know to cook a big ‘ole pot of beans. The rest of my posts this week will be Thanksgiving related. I’m not going to …
Easy Chicken Tacos
I had both kiddos home sick yesterday. So, yesterday was a hectic day. Did I mention that my husband works from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays? No? Well, he does so we had a full house yesterday. Dinner sort of snuck up on me. Not that I’m saying it tip-toed up behind me and spooked …

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 …
Freezer cooking on a small scale…
When I say freezer cooking…you say? Eek! No way! You’re a crazy lady! Okay, maybe not, but I’m sure you’re not giddy. Freezer cooking to some sounds like a whole day, 30 meal affair. It does not have to be….. Don’t be scared, it’s not so bad. Freezer cooking does not have to take up …
