Butter Drop Cookies
I always want to look like I put in the extra effort, even when time is tight. Festive decorated cookies are all well and good, but sometimes there is absolutely no time to get fancy. That makes this recipe an absolute treasure because you get bright, festive cookies that taste light, buttery, and delicious. Of course, these are not just for the holidays. Rolled in red and blue sugar these are great for the 4th of July. If you...
Bacon Dill Potato Salad
The holidays are not always frosty and cold. Sometimes they are downright warm! At least they are in the Dallas area. Sure, last year we enjoyed a white Christmas, but our typical Christmas is spent in often balmy 70 degree weather. When I plan my Christmas Day meal I pay close attention to the weather. If temps are looking to be above 60 then I plan a lighter meal that can be served cold, or at room temperature. This potato salad...

Something about a cookie just makes me feel, when the stress of the season threatens to be my undoing, that everything will be ok, nothing is that bad, and I can cope.

They...
Chocolate Peanut Butter Marble Cookies

Those kind of cookies are not only good for nibbling on as you wrap presents but for great for giving as gifts. While thumbing through my cookie folder, and yes I do have a whole folder devoted to cookie recipes, I came across an old culinary...
A Tale of Two Taco Stands …
If you were to ask me what has been most memorable about my 2010 dining experiences, I would have to say tacos. From authentic street tacos at a bustling gas station to high end tacos at a five star restaurant, tacos seem to be what everyone is buzzing about. I am really thrilled that tacos are in vogue at the moment because I love them. So, taco stands are to be the theme of my Project Food Blog Challenge #9 entry. Yes,...
Cornbread Topped Turkey and Green Chile Casserole
The day after Thanksgiving I tend to bag up some of my left-over turkey and freeze it. I love knowing that I have, in my freezer, the means to make any number of easy weeknight meals. From pot pies to tetrazzini, frozen turkey meat is a good thing to have on hand. This year I decided to try out a new idea that blends creamy pot pie filling with a Tex-Mex flair. I served this up to my casserole hating husband who went back for...
