Chicken Piccata – Because lemon is a VERY good thing

October 18, 2012

Pretty much my whole life I assumed that the “piccata” part of chicken piccata had to do with the lemon flavor. Turns out, piccata is the method of preparation of the dish and has nothing to do with the lemony goodness we’ve all come to love from that name. Piccata simply means preparing a meat [...]

Corn Chowder with Shrimp – Yes, Shrimp

October 17, 2012

I’ve given up on Fall in Texas. It was above 85 here again today. It’s as if summer didn’t give us enough of a blast and is trying to hold on for as long as it can. I’m ready to kick it to the curb. BRING ON FALL! Probably the reason I long for Fall’s [...]

Frito Pie: All Grown Up

October 11, 2012

When I was a kid we belonged to a Dad’s Club where my brother and I played sports. To me, one of the best parts of Saturdays full of games was the concession stand frito pies. I’ve recently learned that frito pie isn’t a national phenomenon, which saddens me. I hate to think of all [...]

Recipe Redo: Zucchini Fries Become Chips

October 5, 2012

Sometimes when I go to make a recipe I’ve made before, I find an even better way to make it. Such was the case last weekend when I decided to make the zucchini fries that I love so much. Seriously, what could be bad about zucchini, panko and parmesan cheese? Nothing! The first few times [...]

Happy National Popcorn Month: The great toppings adventure!

Breaking the Fast: Egg and Spinach Frittata Muffins

September 29, 2012

Let’s talk about spinach, shall we? I like it. If you don’t, you should. There. How’s that? Seriously, spinach is one of those foods that simply does a body good. It’s rich in antioxidants which are reported to stave off cancer, high in iron and vitamin A and C. It’s one of those “leafy green vegetables” that [...]

Fish is Delish…Serve it on a Dish

September 28, 2012

When the weeone was a toddler and preschooler she would love nothing more than completely rocking out when we were in the car. Now, mind you, rocking out to her meant playing the CD given to us by my friend, Tina, who owns Arts Alive – an interactive arts learning concept for children. The disc [...]

Savoring the Last Bites of Summer: Yellow & Green Salad

September 27, 2012

Zucchini has long been my favorite vegetable. It likely has something to do with my mother making zucchini fudge cake when I was a kid. Mix chocolate with anything and I’m a fan. When I was a little girl we spent a few years living in southeastern Pennsylvania. While we were there my parents had [...]

Pizza For Breakfast: It Doesn’t Have To Be Cold

September 26, 2012

In college pizza for breakfast was semi-regular. Of course, that was traditional pizza left over and tossed in the refrigerator and eaten cold while running to an 8am class trying not to be late…again. Fast forward to 2012 and I find myself looking at a Breakfast Pizza recipe from Cooking Light. Of course, this is [...]
