It’s an exciting time around our house because we’re in the process of a complete kitchen overhaul. I mean, the whole works – we’ve torn down two walls, and we’ll be getting new flooring in the whole main floor, new cabinets and countertops…it’s so exciting. And such a mess! And if you’ve ever remodeled anything, […]
If you love Mexican food like I do, then maybe you’ve tried before to replicate the delicious white queso dip found in Mexican restaurants. I don’t know about you, but I could eat that stuff by the vat. But that’s besides the point. If you’ve tried to make it at home, then you know it […]

I liked the ingredients – chicken, paprika, roasted red peppers, and […]
I previously mentioned that my brother had a birthday party recently. Well, he specifically requested that I bring this broccoli slaw for his party. Since it was a request, I had to honor it, right? What kind of monster would I be to deny him his birthday wish? Ok, that might be taking it a […]
