Remember my first attempt to make tortillas? Mmmm, homemade tortillas. So good. Well, you gotta fill them with something, right? R-I-G-H-T! How about this deliciousness? I make this meat and potato filling a few times a month and we use it in everything from stacked tortillas to scrambled eggs. It’s addicting! This was my plate. …

It is well-established that I like cake and have made it my life’s mission to eat more of it. So many cakes, so little time: Cheese. Italian Cream. Sheet. Elephant. Which brings me to this lovely: Pound Cake Perfection I was rooting through my old recipes, trying to decide what to bake, and I ran across …
Yes, tortillas with a healthy twist, just as long as we remember that everything is relative, mah Mexican Food lovin’ babies! I found a recipe called Healthier Soft Tortillas and thought: Why not? I’ll pretty much try anything once. Curiously Odd Side Note on the I’ll Try Anything Once Statement: While trolling the freebie snacks …
I love me some shortbread…you? Wait. Why am I even asking? Pretty much everyone loves them some shortbread. Y-U-M! Couple this shortbread with a steaming cup of Good For You Hot Chocolate and the angels may join you in singing HALLELURIAH! Don’t they look divine? While I was expecting a sturdier shortbread, because when I …
When I think of French bread I suddenly speak with an extremely embarrassing French accent and imagine myself in a beret. Oui Oui! ~ugh~ If you have never had homemade French bread, let me weep a little for you (yes, again in the French accent). If you have never made homemade bread of any kind, …
OMT has been baking with buttermilk again, y’all. It’s so Southern, don’t you think? When I first found this recipe, I immediately printed it out. Then, I promptly forgot about it. I blame my peri-brain fog. When I ran across it again, I made a note of the ingredients, ran to the store for buttermilk, …
Roasted French green beans sounds so, so, French, oui? I love a roasted veggie, no doubt, but have found the veggies I’m not particularly fond of (like steamed green beans) are delicious when roasted. I’ll actually go back for seconds. Recently, on a trip to Boy’s, he made roasted asparagus, which I love any way …
O. M. GOOD GRACIOUS! LET ME AT ‘EM! Y’all know I love me some unexpected brownies, right? Today’s brownies are…I mean…these brownies…oh my. I’m gonna give you the pic first, then we’ll work backwards from there. Ready? Let me ‘splain…. It was Girl’s birthday and we were here and they were there and, well, it …
Dang, that’s a lot of hyperbole in the title, ain’t it? OR IS IT?! Hint: It’s. Not. When I tell you that this recipe is revolutionary, you can understand it to mean that it has revolutionized the way I think of cooking corn; I will never, never ever never, boil my corn on the cob …
Cake? Yes, please. Is there ever any doubt? Never, even if it’s hideous (yet delicious). There are days I jones for a three layer monstrosity and there are days I’m happy with a sheet of cake that needs nothing more than whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel (you read that right). This day I …
