5-INGREDIENT SPICY MAPLE SALMON
Every August like clockwork I get completely burned out with cooking. It's always been a weird phenomenon with me and I honestly can't explain it. Personally I think it's just the end of the hot summer season that stops all my passion, I'm ready for fall food but...
SLOW COOKER WHITE QUESO DIP

WATERMELON MINT ICED TEA
Happy Saturday! June came hard and fast, bringing an interesting mix of weather. We've had cold days plus rain, sleet, and hail, and then those freaking HOT days! The weather in Colorado flip-flops a lot, and here I thought Texas was bad! Regardless of the crazy...
THE BEST HONEY ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN

HOW TO STRETCH YOUR GROCERY BUDGET
I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy through all the coronavirus chaos. I don't normally post to the blog on a Saturday night, but with all the frantic grocery store shopping going on I thought any helpful advice I can give should be NOW and not later... not...
GUINNESS STEW WITH WHITE CHEDDAR MASHED POTATOES
I still vividly remember our first trip to Ireland, it was during the week of St. Patrick's Day and there was so much to take in. I enjoyed everything about the experience, the energy of the city, the happy friendly people, the food, and the Guinness. Yep, the...

Merry Christmas from our family to yours! I wanted to share some highlights from our Christmas card photo shoot. We tried to take our photos this year at the Stanley hotel but the weather would not cooperate at all. Not only was it freezing cold, the winds were...
HOT COCOA POKE CAKE
We're big poke cake fans around here. If you aren't familiar with poke cake let me tell you exactly what that is. You bake a basic cake, poke holes in it, and simply drown it in delicious toppings that seep down into the cake. It creates a moist, rich, gooey,...
