Rice is a must have dish when it comes to Tex-Mex. Rice is affordable and delicious. I have been trying to figure out new ways to incorporate cilantro into my meals. It is one of my favorite herbs in the whole entire world now. The rice dish is simple, yet full of flavor. When you [...]

Everyone thinks the only thing you can cook on a George Foreman grill is meat. This is so not true! You can grill just about anything these days, even on a indoor grill. Last night we decided to grill our asparagus even though the meal plan said to roast it. I am all about NOT [...]

This is definitely a “different” salad. I wish I could say I loved it, but it was just OK for me. My husband didn’t like it and oddly enough my daughter thought it tasted like our favorite green sauce at a Mexican restaurant in town. I blame the cilantro for that comparison. For me, the [...]

This is another recipe from my dear friend Rachel at Following in my Shoes. I only used two chipotle peppers and it was still very very warm. I would totally suggest starting with 1 pepper. Seriously. Try it out and if you want more heat then by all means add it! I also only used [...]

Salsa is one of my favorite things to snack on. I do not care for the hot hot stuff but I like most types of salsa. Until recently I have never had a “fruit” salsa. I finally set out to rectify this. I made Mango Salsa to go with our fish tacos one night. Loved [...]

Guacamole is the most delicious thing out there. Seriously. I used to not like it though. It took me being pregnant with C-man to really enjoy and appreciate the deliciousness of guacamole. Most people thing that it is really bad for you, but actually guacamole is really good for you. Its the crispy tortilla chips [...]

[print_link] This recipe was a HUGE hit for me, not so much for my family. The kids wouldn’t touch it(who is shocked by this anymore?) and my husband just didn’t really care for it. I think it was the vinegar. He is just not a fan of it. I plan to make this again but [...]

OH.MY.WORD. I think I have a new favorite vegetable!!! I have always been afraid of Brussels sprouts and I have no idea why. They are so delicious and full of Vitamin A, C, folic acid and fiber. Yum Yum and oh so good for you! Please, be bold, be brave and try Roasted Brussels Sprouts! [...]

YUM! I ate these right out of the pan. Which is not a good thing if you are trying to watch your girlish figure. You have to try these! Thanks again to Cyndy at Daily Cynema for the great recipe! Zucchini Fritters 2 Medium Zucchinis, grated and liquid squeezed out 1 egg, beaten 2 cloves [...]

Say it with me.. “Sweet tater Fries”. There you just had your first lesson is southern twang. We say Tater not Potato. Now that you know how to say it…let’s get to cooking! I got this recipe again from InspiredRD. I just love her. Sweet Tater Fries Ingredients: -2-3 sweet potatoes -Cooking spray -Hungarian Paprika [...]

Two of my most favorite things are in this dish. Green beans and almonds. I picked up some fresh green beans from the farmers market so I needed to cook them. I really enjoyed this dish. Even my husband who does not like green beans said it had good flavor. Roasted Green Beans and Almonds [...]
