Well, I’m officially out of Friday Favorites for a while. I have a few ideas, but I think I will do them randomly instead of every Friday. This is my final recipe in the Thai Kitchen party series. I hope they have inspired you to try something new. The first time I made this, I […]
Lemon Coconut Cake with Lemon Glaze
This cake was so moist and easy to make…what’s not easy about starting with a boxed mix. The cake isn’t too coconuty in flavor…it adds just a slightly different flavor that works nicely with the lemon. The instructions call for using an electric mixer; however, I just mixed by hand and it turned out just […]
Easy Chicken Pad Thai
I never would have made this dish if it wasn’t for Thai Kitchen sending me the Pad Thai Sauce. But ya know what….we have a new meal to our rotation. It was wonderful and so easy to put together. I think the hardest part was finding bean sprouts at the grocery store. Again, this recipe […]
Thai Caesar Salad
Last week, I gave away a Thai Kitchen gift pack because I was hosting a House Party for Thai Kitchen. They sent me a ton of goodies and supplies for my party. I thought I would share what I prepared for my party this week with y’all. These recipes all come from the Thai Kitchen […]
Pina Colada
This is one of my daughter’s favorite drinks. She loves it as an after school snack. It’s funny to hear a 6yo ask for a pina colada, but it doesn’t have any alcohol. I don’t usually point out what brands I use, but I thought this one might be tricky for the cream of […]
Granny’s Fresh Pear Cake
Even though Granny doesn’t cook much anymore, she has left us all with an entire cookbook of yummy recipes. One of her favorite desserts is this pear bread. My cousin, Cheryll, invited all of us over to her house for supper while we were in Texas. She made lasagna and Granny’s Fresh Pear Cake for […]
Brisket Sammies
Hubbyman loves meat. He loves to spend a Saturday smoking or slow cooking a good brisket or rack of ribs or assortment of meats. He is actually quite good at it and I don’t mind having a day off from the kitchen. While we were in Texas visiting my Granny, she shared her top secret […]
Shortbread Nutella Bites
All my best friend can do these days is talk about Nutella. The same week she started talking about, I had a post on Tip Day Thursday from Ms.enPlace about her Nutella Nests. I felt like the world was telling me to try Nutella! Holy cow!!!! What have I been missing all these years. […]
Monica’s Pulled Pork
Last week, we were in Texas visiting my Granny and cousins. My Granny doesn’t cook so much anymore so my cousins and I decided we would take turns cooking the meals for my Granny (and all the rest of us…11 total). We had some excellent food and I thought I would share the highlights here. […]
Caprese Salad Skewers
Hubbyman saw an ad in the paper at our local fine food store for caprese salad on a stick. Well, I was not about to pay the insane prices for it…so I promised to make it for him. Although, I went one step further and made a little balsamic reduction to drizzle over the […]
Tex-Mex Rice
Out of necessity, I had to come up with a Tex-Mex rice that had no tomatoes or citrus in it. So this is what I came up with. It has a very mild flavor, so it goes nicely as a side dish to almost any Tex-Mex meal. I served it with Carne Asada….one of our […]
Best Seasoning for Steak
The best seasoning for steak is this copycat McCormick seasoning recipe. You make it with ALL NATURAL ingredients! It’s great on grilled burgers, too! I love to make my own seasoning blends. My favorites are my Taco Seasoning, Homemade Chili Seasoning, and my Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice! But why is making homemade seasoning and spice […]
