It’s true. Green tea gives me the heaves. Not the actual I’m-gonna-hurl heaves, but the kind that makes me curl up a little when I think of drinking it. Pretty bad, right? The thing is I’m trying to better myself nutritionally and green tea is highly recommended. Let me backtrack a bit. I’m pretty sound …
OMT! Eats
What happens when I’m bored and want to bake, all in one moment? I rummage through the pantry. I rummage through the fridge. I ask myself, “Mrs. Tucker, what’s so weird that you’ve got to make it?” (head’s up: some days grannies get so excited they revert to third-person) Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip BACON Cookies. …
You read that right, but I’ll go over it again: Chocolate. Covered. Gummie. Bears. Two quick asides before we get to the aforementioned bears: #1) I grew up in West Texas with a German-born mother, whose family sent us packages of the original Haribo Gummie Bears when I was a kid. No one else knew …
I know it’s spring in most of the country, but we’re on the verge of summer in Texas. And once it’s summer, Texans eat pico de gallo by the 10-gallon hat full; we love it! Although, we usually shorten the name to pico, no de gallo necessary! What is pico, exactly? The loosest definition is …
Have y’all met my new pretend BFF, Gaby Dalkin? No? Lawsy, that woman can cook. As most of you know, she had me at Slutty Brownies (which I have since used to bribe the Time Warner guy to complete the rewiring for my Internets as fast as he could). If you missed the whole Slutty …
I have been in a baking mood in the last few weeks and since I was raised right, I’ll share! When I started out, I thought I’d make a specific brownie recipe, but instead had to adapt because I was short on a few key ingredients. OMT’s Toffee Chip Cookie Dough Brownies are the result: …
Do you like a sweet glazed donut? (YES!) Do you like muffins? (YES!) Then you’re probably gonna want to try this simple recipe for Glazed Donut Muffins. (Y-E-S!) Sunday, we had a very sick dog on our hands and then mid-morning three emergency vehicles were parked next door. I did what I do in these …
Macaroni and cheese is a childhood staple, no? YES! Cheeseburger Macaroni is even better than that. Promise. I first saw the recipe over at Kevin and Amanda’s and made it for Boy and Girl on my last visit. It was given high marks by all and was instantly added to my meal rotation list. Plus, …
I live in the South, y’all. We love our pulled pork. Love. It. I thought about how ridiculously easy it was to make and that maybe you’d like to try it (if you haven’t already). #1) Buy a pork shoulder. During the holiday season, these bad boys are relatively inexpensive. I buy in bulk and …
I was suckered by Pinterest…again! A baker, a trusted baker, said she’d found the perfect white cake recipe; she promised I’d never have to look again. It was her own recipe, one she had adapted from a well-known source, that she promised she had made much better. With that kind of hype, and her trusted …
