Chicken, Salad, Vegetarian

Curry Rice Salad

This is a go to dish (albeit I haven’t made in a long time).  This recipe comes from my grandma Clark.  She makes it for brunches, baby showers, wedding showers, and all sorts of events.ÂThis salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken or Turkey from Thanksgiving.  It’s also a great crowd dish […]

Salsa

Salsa Fresca

We love salsa…all salsas.  I think the hardest salsa to make is red salsa–I’m not sure why, but most of the time when we make red salsa at home it’s good but just not memorable good.  Green salsas on the other hand almost always turns out great…go figure!  Anyway, I got this recipe from my friend Mary, […]

Bread

Flour Tortillas

These are the best homemade tortillas I have ever had!!!!  They are delicious, and the search for tasty homemade tortillas ended last night! *swoon* The taste is so similar to Chuy’s tortillas, and Chuy’s flour tortillas are one of my favorite flour tortillas of all time! Recipe courtesy of Homesick Texan Ingredients: Directions:

Dessert

Apple Crisp

I love fruit desserts. What happens when my kiddos pick out apples at the grocery store and then refuse to eat them when we get home?  The apples find their way into something delicious, and tonight it was apple crisp. Delicious on its own or topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Ingredients: Directions:

Chicken

Chicken Shawarma

Chicken shawarma is so good.  If you’ve never tried it, seek out your nearest middle eastern restaurant and try some.  If you’re like us and live somewhere where there are no middle eastern restaurants, this recipe comes close to some of the yummiest shawarma sandwiches I’ve ever had (be mindful that bad shawarma is just […]

Cookies

Oatmeal Scotchies

-s loves oatmeal scotchies.  He whipped up a batch this afternoon, and the cookies are delicious, with the added bonus of making the house smell heavenly…kind of like one of those really yummy smelling candles.  The recipe is courtesy of Nestle. ***If you are making a double recipe do one recipe at a time, because […]

Side Dishes

Potato Latkes

Potato Latkes are delicious, and for whatever reason, I’ve always had a hard time making them turn out “right.”  By “right” I mean just like Grandma Boden used to make. I found a recipe, and before I even tasted one, when I went out into the garage and then walked back into the house I […]
