I’m back in Dallas and thrilled to be home.  Packing, driving halfway across the country, arriving, seeing my husband, family and friends has kept me busy.  Plus when you’ve been out of town for five weeks, the refrigerator is completely bare.  That said, I’ve made it to the store, restocked with fresh perishables, savored a […]

I tend towards a from-scratch style of cooking.  One because I enjoy the process so much and two because I know each and every ingredient going into my meals.  Since I’m visiting with family, I’m going to be highlighting a lot of other people’s best dishes this month, in addition to my own creations.  This […]

I’ve been off the grid for a couple of days while I made my way out to the mountains.  20 hour car ride with 2 preschoolers means I’ve been eating pretty terribly.  I think a stop at Applebee’s was the highlight of my culinary experiences en route.  And that’s really not saying very much.  But […]

Tonight we had chicken on the grill, Houdyshell style, topped with Andrew’s amazing  Chimichurri Sauce and a Citrus Vinaigrette Salad.  It was like the culmination of all things friends and family and the beginning of summer.  I’ve made a pact to start using our grill more; we’ve taken an unacceptable hiatus due to an empty propane tank.  […]

I’m feeling very celebrative (celebratory?) this weekend, and just in time to help me out, my sister sent me a bunch of sparkling wine for my birthday.  I have amazingly talented sisters who spoil me with absurdly nice presents.  Hopefully they’re okay with the fact that I’m the worst gift giver in America.  Nothing stresses […]

Some nights, it’s tricky just to get dinner on the table. I like our meals to be special and even more so, now that I’m attempting to write about them. But sometimes what matters is simply providing my family with something to eat. Luckily this meal was made with all on hand products. It’s taken […]
