This, by far, is my most requested recipe (next to my Banana Split Pie ). My son is coming home for July 4th, and what does he ask for…THIS. I just made this for a dinner party we had for a dear friend and it was a big hit. I mean, I had folks texting…
It’s peach season in Texas! We had a late freeze, so the peaches are sticking to their stones. The taste was not effected – they are sweet & fragrant. Just perfect for this simple galette. Glad I grabbed some of these beauties.
BREAKFAST I made this yummy bowl of oats using the homemade almond milk recipe I created a couple of weeks ago. This nut milk is rich and creamy, and really brought my oats to a whole new level. Just added bananas, strawberries, coconut flakes & cacao nibs. Finished it off with some almond butter and…
This potato salad always gets rave reviews! It has simple ingredients that make it a perfect side dish for any grilled or smoked meats and chicken. I use a food processor to chop the veggies, which makes it super easy to prepare. And, since we are getting into the summer grill season it’s a perfect…
Years ago, I went to a pot luck and one of the neighbors brought this divine concoction. I wanted to dive in that darn bowl after my first bite. You will want to do the same thing – it is so luscious and creamy. Do not make this for 2 people. YOU WILL EAT THE…

The Bending Branch website describes this red wine as follows: This red blend from the Texas Hill Country was aged over 36 months in 20% new American oak, w/the remainder in neutral French & American barrels. The 2014 Estate Cuvée comes…
WINE & SPIRITS This light milkshake celebrating the Kentucky Derby is life changing! It’s made with light chocolate & butter pecan ice cream & fat free whipped cream. Kentucky bourbon, optional. The race is only 2 minutes, but it will take you at least 4 to drink up this shake! Enjoy. I’m off to the…
EXTRAS A couple of weeks ago, Ellie’s Best asked me to try their “Bigger Better Nut Milk Bag. They were also kind enough to send a package of their Wild Sweet Raw Almonds. I was excited to try making my own almond milk because I was hoping to make a product that was thicker and…
ENTREES Chicken on a Stick is a Fiesta phenomena! Every year, during the 4-day run of A Night In Old San Antonio this booth sells 30,000-40,000 of these skewers. Can you say long lines??? My version is oven-baked, instead of fried, & it’s hubs approved. You know…it’s one of those dishes where is says “this is…
DESSERTS This is one of my favorite desserts to make when preparing a special dinner. It’s showy and requires a lot less effort than you might initially think when perusing the recipe. Granted the recipe is a bit lengthy, but it is for both the cookie tacos and the white chocolate sauce. Don’t be intimidated…
