The heat has returned to North Texas. It seems as though we might break that record after all for # of days with temps reaching 100 or higher. After all those wicked hot days we’ve had I said, “why not tack on a couple of more just to break the all time record!” Fall is […]
Hatch recipes are history for a while – I’ve moved on to peaches. Throughout the summer I’ve found it interesting to see my fellow bloggers in different parts of the country blogging about peaches. Greg and Katherine over at Rufus’ Food and Spirits Guide: http://rufusguide.wordpress.com/ have blogged about peaches since late June. You can find recipes for […]
The last long weekend of summer is upon us and I’m in the mood for Hatch chiles and cooler weather. Labor Day, sends that message of less heat outdoors and more heat on the stove. Traditionally it has been unacceptable to wear white after Labor Day. Do you follow this rule? I tend to follow […]
If you can’t beat the heat- may as well join it! That’s just what we did last weekend when we brought home bags full of fresh hatch chiles from Central Market. We sampled so many food items with hatch chiles in them that we didn’t even need lunch that day. We brought home fresh hatch […]
In an effort to beat the sweltering, oppressive Texas heat, I served my family Grilled Shrimp Po’Boys this weekend. I did have to brave the soaring temps to grill the shrimp, but it was well worth the sweat. LuLu and her guy Mr. T, came for a visit this weekend and I needed a dish […]
I like this game. Thank you to Ryan for tagging me to play. If you’ve not seen her blog give it a look it’s called Ryan Bakes and you’ll love what you see there. She’s part Italian and part southern, and it makes for a fabulous combination in her kitchen! The reason I like this […]
This week school begins and I am the proud mama of a senior! I think she already has a touch of senioritis – is there a remedy for that? Yep! Miss T’s last year of high school and I am vastly aware of how fast it will pass. We don’t see much of her anyway […]
I may never bake another regular sized chocolate chip cookie again. I admit I am a sweets fanatic and these giant size cookies are just my style. I can eat only one and be completely satisfied. These cookies are big enough to share and that is a very nice thing to do! I am […]
On Saturday morning my man Dan and I went to investigate a bee call I received. These bees were in the walls of a storage building, in a back yard, on a hot day, where tall grass grew, brown recluse spiders may have lurked, snakes may have been lying low and we did not want […]
Way back in February on a day when the temperature was 12* outside I baked a batch of these “to die for” bars. I had mentioned at the end of that post that I would like to make them again using a smaller pan to see if I could produce a thicker bar. This […]
