Is it a fruit or is it a vegetable? While the controversy may continue (The US Supreme Court ruled that the tomato is a vegetable for culinary purposes) I know that this is one product that I couldn't live without. I love tomato juice, fresh tomatoes in my salads, chopped tomatoes in my tacos, and just about everywhere you can add it to a meal. Every year I try to grow tomatoes in pots that … [Read more...]

Bacon... is there a more delicious food out there? I don't think so! My brother-in-law loves bacon so much, that my sister bought him some chocolate covered bacon once. I think he has had some bacon ice cream, and I wouldn't be surprised if he has some bacon cologne! This week is National Oscar Mayer Bacon Week and to celebrate I am sharing with you one of my mother in-laws specialties, … [Read more...]
Halloween is just around the corner. While we try to figure out a costume for TJ to wear (right now it is either Buzz, or a pirate) my mind always drifts off to what we are going to eat on the big day! I love hosting parties and coming up with creative recipes so when I heard about the Spookamole contest from Avocados from Mexico, I knew I had to submit something. Our family loves … [Read more...]

They offer a … [Read more...]
The queen of fabulous fake outs is back again with another recipe. I took a lot of help from the grocery store with this one, but it didn't make it any less fabulous or tasty. I am constantly trying to find good chocolate and peanut butter recipes. I love this combination and will eat it any chance I get. I have seen a lot of recipes that have cookie dough inside of a cupcake and thought … [Read more...]
