I'm so excited for this Football season and Walmart is my go-to store for all things Football! Game day grub has to be one of my all time favorite styles of food. It could be because it's always served more 'family style' and left as perfectly bites sized, snack worthy eats and treats. Or it could be because game day means the end of summer and the beginning of fall. I'm ready for the cooler weather. Bring it on!
Being a native Texan means that I'm even more into the spirit of game day. Every game day in Texas is basically a small holiday. We take our football and our game day spread almost as seriously as we take our BBQ...
Witch Finger Cookies
Halloween is coming, y'all! I know it's a little bit early, but I can't hold it in any more!
I'm always excited for Halloween to roll around, but this year even more so. I was a little too late in testing out these cookies last year to have them here in time for Halloween, but this year... I made good and sure they were the first Halloween treat to make the list!
These cookies are soft, sweet and perfectly delicate. Plus, they're super cute and festive for any Halloween gathering...
Read MoreBlack Bean & Roasted Butternut Squash Tostadas
A fresh local butternut squash means Fall is finally here! I love it when I start to get my hands on winter squash. They are easily one of the most tasty and versatile foods out there. Anywhere from stuffing them, to roasting them, to mashing them as a puree. I'm sold. Hook, line, and sinker.
Not only are these tostadas easy to make, they're also a meal you can make off of one baking sheet; making it a perfect weeknight go-to for any busy family. And believe you me... I've been one busy gal! Friday really tested my limits and put me through the ringer. I ran around like a crazy person getting my daughter into her doctor and off to get an x-ray on her little footsie. So, I knew dinner was going to have to be supremely quick and hassle free...
Read MoreInstant Pot Asian Sweet Chili Chicken
If you haven't yet jumped onto the pressure cooker band wagon, you definitely should as soon as you can! I got mine back for my birthday and I haven't looked back. One of the things that I love the most about it is that it's multi-functional as a pressure cooker, crock pot, and even for a quick sauté. This makes it the perfect 'one pot' meal maker.
For a few weeks now, I've been working on perfecting this Asian Sweet Chili Chicken recipe. The first time I made it - it was really good. But, it wasn't quite where I wanted it to be. So, with a few more tweaks I gave it another go or two until I had it on point...
Read MoreBreakfast Tostadas
Good morning, beautiful.
This is another oldie but goodie that I decided needed to get a bit of an update. The pictures were old and out of date and my cooking style has changed tremendously. It's the process of the ever evolving home cook.
Originally when I made these tostadas, my grandmother is visiting me from Oregon coast. She usually comes down once a year for a good 4-6 weeks to indulge in the Texas heat. What can I say? She's a born and raised Texan that is now denied the sun except for a single week out of the year when a few rays manage to peek through the ever looming clouds in the sky there on the Oregon coast.
Don't get me wrong. I love Oregon. And further more... I love rain.
At any rate, one of my grandmother's favorite things to eat are tostadas...
Read MoreMarbled Chocolate & Matcha Candy Cups
This post was sponsored by Crisco® Coconut Oil as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.
So, over a year ago now I had made these amazingly delicious PB&J Cups that were some of my most favorite homemade candies ever. Party because they were so good, and partly because they were - well - more wholesome for being homemade. These Marbled Chocolate & Matcha Candy Cups are no different.
They chocolate used here is a dark chocolate, which instantly gives you a few more benefits than most other chocolates. And to make it even better, I filled them with a matcha butter that is perfectly balanced with the swarms of white chocolate to give just the right amount of sweetness without being an overkill...
