You Can Do Anything with Chicken Wings

Many, many years ago, my Dad was partnered in a Butcher Shop. My brother learned the value of hard physical work as a boy sweeping floors and helping with deliveries. I learned about bookkeeping while working on the office side of the business.

Mexican French Bread Tacos

What can I say about French Bread Tacos except to say they are different. Kiddo really enjoyed his tacos. But then again, he had a few Margaritas to go with the tacos, so that might have something to do with it.

A Florida Inspired Brunch

Today is National Florida Day, so let’s talk about the 27th state to join the Union. The Sunshine State is also home to the oldest established city in the country.

Spicy Mexican Rice Pilaf is anything But Ordinary

First off, let me tell you that this will make a ton of rice. Unless you are feeding a crowd, you’ll be eating spicy rice for days. When Hubby and Kiddo walked into the kitchen and saw this gigantic serving of rice, they wanted to know who else was coming for dinner.

Hooray for the Blonde Brownie

It’s another of those tasty National Days. This time it’s National Blonde Brownie Day. The name alone is silly. Brownies are made with Cocoa, giving them both their color and inspired name. A Blonde Brownie is made without the cocoa, hence “blonde” color. Blondie is a much more fitting name.

Tex-Mex Game Day Dip Cups

When you have a Super Bowl Party, is Bean Dip or Seven-Layer Dip part of your repertoire? For most of us, the answer is yes. I love the idea of changing things up a bit with individual dipping cups.
