So I thought I didn’t like dates. I was wrong. I am not sure why I thought I didn’t like dates because, actually, prior to partaking of today’s particular delicacy I don’t think I had ever eaten a date before. I just knew I wouldn’t like them. Well I was wrong. At least when it [...]

We had a potluck BBQ on Monday. I love potlucks. It never fails that I come away with at least one new great recipe. This time it was an amazing Greek pasta salad. I promise as soon as I get the recipe I’ll share! I provided a s’mores bar and an Italian Soda Bar. Let [...]

You may remember that several weeks ago I had a fun visit at my home with Melanie from Mel’s Kitchen Cafe. We had a s’more feast. But lest you think that is all I served I did have something else a little more sophisticated! We had a little appetizer before our s’mores and it included [...]

I love a good artichoke dip. I have shared a couple of yummy recipes here on the blog. There was Artichoke and Spinach Dip and Roasted Garlic and Artichoke Dip. Both are so good. Since I live by the philosophy that you can never have too many good recipes I have another variation on a [...]

O.K., except maybe buying it at the [...]

I have become a recent guacamole convert. You have probably already guessed but it is definitely a texture issue for me. With all my fajita experimenting lately I have tried out a few guacamole recipes too and have discovered that fresh guacamole is quite nice. It is also easy to make. The hardest part seems [...]

Today’s recipe has been a frequent visitor at our house on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve for the last several years. It is delicious and it is also a total man pleaser. They love it! But so do the girls. It’s a bit spicy so if you like a little heat, you’ll love it. [...]

I hope you enjoyed a wonderful holiday weekend with your family. We did and to be honest I am having a hard time getting back in a blogging routine after my little holiday break. It is fun having my house full again but it sure is distracting! But we must get ready for New Year’s. [...]
