Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?

The world has seen its shares of ups and downs, of war times and peace times. As bad as the bad times get, they do end. Just as good as the good times seem, they too run in cycles, coming to an end.

A New Take on a Family Favorite

Before we get into today’s amazing recipe, I wanted to take a moment to talk about faith. Yeah, I know I seem to spend a lot of time talking faith. Faith isn’t some kind of a cloak that can be checked at the door. True faith is a part of your being.

Lord Bless This Tuesday

If today is Tuesday, there must be tacos on the menu. It’s a good thing the Lord will bless a hot mess, because these Taco Bell inspired Crunch Wrap Supremes are just that – one hot mess.

Tacos on a Friday? You Bet!

Okay, it’s confession time. When I saw a photograph of these fish tacos – an actual piece of fried fish wrapped inside a warm tortilla with a tartar sauce coleslaw – wow! I knew I had to give it a try.

Was This When the End Began?

The Rapture. The End Times. Left Behind. Both Catholics and Protestants are more than familiar with these dooms day scenarios. Both point to the Bible as the one true source for this belief. Catholics and Portestants can read the same scripture, yet walk away with very different understanding.

An Unbreakable Code

While the Navajo Code Talkers of World War II are most well known for having sent more than 800 messages during the invasion of Iwo Jima, they were not the first.

Torn Between Two Favorites

On the National front today is Drive Thru Day and Tequila Day. It was hard to decide – fast-food or booze? What can I say, the Tequila won out. Yet man does not live by Tequila alone, so naturally I had to spend some time in the kitchen.

Not Just Another Amazing Tuesday

It’s been a full month since our amazing Napa-Sonoma whirlwind get away. You would think some of the food craving would have worn off by now. Our first night in Napa we had dinner at an amazing Mexican restaurant; Los Agaves on the riverfront.

Choclate, Fry Bread and Cowboys

Today is Nutty Fudge Day. It’s also less than a month from a very big deal birthday for me. Since Hubby wants to take me on a wine train in the Napa Valley to celebrate, I want to look my best for a sassy old broad. So fudge is out.

Tacos for Now and Later

As Hubby and I wandered up and down the grocery aisles, he noticed we were buying more than usual for Tacos. Naturally, he asked why. With a shrug of my shoulders I said tacos for this week and another night later down the line.

Let’s Fry the Bread

More years ago than I care to admit, Hubby and I took a research vacation through Wyoming and Montana. I was interested in learning first-hand about the Indian Wars that raged through the Plain States at the end of the Civil War.

Yes More Tacos Please

Growing up, my Dad made the best tacos on the planet. He had a secret ingredient that has long since disappeared – Chorizo. My mother’s sister would send a tin of Chorizo from Spain every few months. I’ve tried over the years to find this same sausage, but no luck.

One Terrific Taco Tuesday

What’s this – yet another Taco Tuesday? You bet! If there is one thing oh so popular in our house, it’s the Mexican staple – the taco. It’s a good thing I love to cook for my family. Most of what I make is so much better than anything we can get in a restaurant. The only reason to eat out is that someone else does the dishes.

Drive Thru Tequila Day

Every year on the 24th day of July, I cannot help but to chuckle. Two National Days come together. Drive Thru Day and Tequila Day. Not exactly the most prudent of combination.

Baja Taco Tuesday

Baja California is a magical place. There is the beauty of the desert combined with the blues of the ocean. Hubby and I both have a strong appreciation for the desert and the sea. Baja is one of those places that can steal your breath away for so many reasons. The people, the landscape and God’s creatures big and small.
