We love pizza around here. Seriously it's a staple in our meal plan. I think we have it about once a week in this house. At least. I'd love to blame that on my little girl, but what can I say? I love pizza too. Always have, and always will.
While she is a traditionalist, sticking to her cheese pizza with extra sauce for dipping... I like to experiment and try out new things on mine. Some things work. Others flop...

It's supposed to bring you good luck for the upcoming year. But, what eating 'dirt peas' has anything to do with a new year or good luck... escapes me entirely.

Don't get me wrong, I love love love cooking in my kitchen on the Holidays, but an amazing opportunity came up for me to dine out with the family at a local hot spot here in Austin instead, so I'm taking it!...
Read MoreI've not made many pancakes in my life. I think I always secretly thought that they were overly difficult and took too much time, but I've changed my mind on that in the past few weeks.
This is actually the second time in two weeks that I've made pancakes. The first batch was about a week ago. I had done my research and drafted up two recipes that I couldn't decide between. I was busy in the kitchen making a fruit topping so I handed off the recipes to my mom, circling the one I wanted her to mix up...

Want to make it more kid friendly?
Swap the beer for more broth and leave out the jalapeño!
Looking for something with more of a kick?
Add in a pinch of cayenne, leave the seeds in the jalapeño, and a drizzle of hot sauce - I like Frank's!...
