WINE & SPIRITS I’m so glad the sun came out today. I needed that perk up. We’ve got brisket & ribs on the smoker & a fist of this good stuff to sip on. This beautiful 82 proof whiskey emits the scents of vanilla, oak & pear, and the flavors of honey butter, banana, caramel…
BREAKFAST This freezer toast is about the best thing I’ve tasted in a long while! I used some honey wheat bread, Justin’s maple almond butter, Tree Hive maple syrup + honey, crushed pistachios & hemp seeds. It was sooooo good!
ENTREES I looooove it when my son visits, but y’all…T H E E A T I N G. This CHEESEBURGER was definitely an indulgence. My hubs always makes his burgers with @heb Prime Brisket, and they are GOOD! A burger is only as good as the patty!!! And yes, we like good, old fashioned @kraft…
SIDES My local grocery store, HEB, has a hatch chile event every year. I tried this rice dish and immediately knew my family would love it. I was not wrong! I have served it with smoked pork loin, brisket and steak – it was a terrific compliment, each time. I’m afraid this deliciousness is going…
ENTREES Freezer food is yummy! My hubs made a fantastic brisket a while back, but it was just too much to finish. In my effort to be less wasteful, I froze the leftovers. I was so excited when I pulled it out, chopped it up & heated it in a skillet w/a bit of BBQ…
BREAKFAST YOU ARE GONNA THIS TOAST…But, first a bit about my NEW YEARS RESOLUTION. First, I’m gonna keep eating & drinking what I want, in moderation. I really like my Texas bbq & wine…lots of wine. I do admire those dedicated to a plant based or vegan lifestyle for health or sustainability reasons, etc. I…
BREAKFAST 2019 is here and so is Baked Anjou Pear Porridge with granola, a bit of Ginger Plum Compote, banana, dragon fruit chips, and a drizzle of syrup. I think red Anjou pears are so beautiful. So, when I saw them at the store I had to get a few – with no plan on what…
APPETIZERS HAPPY NEW YEAR! In Texas, eating black-eyed peas to ring in the new year is supposed to bring good luck & prosperity. My mom used to put on a hot pot of these yummies & we would drop by for a bowl full on New Years Day. Since we are having friends over for…
SIDES Made this Caprese Salad drizzled with a Balsamic Reduction right before my youngest came home for the holidays. Added some avocado, sliced red onion, basil, lots of fresh ground pepper, sea salt & a bit of olive oil. So fresh and delicious!
BREAKFAST Happy Loaded Toast Day! Have never been so happy to get a slice of honey wheat out of my freezer! Smothered it with almond butter, fresh cherries sautéed in 2 tablespoons of Tree Hive syrup + honey, sliced bananas, pistachios, a few cacao nibs & hemp seeds. Took me all of 5 minutes!
