We had some friends over the other night for taco/nacho bar, and TT (9 yo) wanted to make a salsa, so he researched online and printed out a recipe. We adapted the recipe to what we had on hand, and it was so good, and we’ll definitely make this one again. This recipe makes a lot […]
We love Middle Eastern food. Our love for Middle Eastern food really developed when we were living in Baton Rouge (who would’ve thunk it!), and then we moved to Houston, and there was a delicious restaurant down the street from our townhouse. This salad is so good, and even the kiddos loved it (and the […]

Last year I made delicious latkes. This year I wanted to try a new recipe, and since -s remembers his mom making potato pancakes when he was little, we asked her for her recipe. By the looks of the recipe it looks like it came with her 1970 Osterizer blender! Delicious! So what’s the difference between […]
Jello salads and molded jello salads were all the rage in the 70’s and they still are for my family in the Pacific Northwest. Most jello salads I don’t particularly care for, but I eat enough to be polite. There is one exception. My Great Aunt Arlene makes this wonderful raw cranberry jello salad every […]
Tila’s in Houston has the most delicious tomatillo sauce.

This recipe is from Rick Bayless’s Mexican Kitchen (the photo on my cookbook is different, but I assume it’s all the same […]
