Mexican Sweet Potato Pasta Bake
This is a fabulous weeknight dinner AND it's vegetarian. The mixture of pasta and sweet potatoes may seem odd, but trust me! It is rich, hearty and DELICIOUS! Start by sautéing sweet potatoes, red onion and red bell pepper until veggies are softened. Stir in tomatoes,...
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookie Bars
I love cookie bars. They are so fast and easy. These Reese's Peanut Butter Bars are cookie bar heaven. The packaged cookie mix makes a perfect base. Stir in butter and an egg... ...and then add a little oatmeal. Remove a little for the topping and press the...
Quick And Dirty Birria Tacos
Birria Tacos are THE THING! They are based on the sauce (or consommé) from Birria Stew, a fabulous dish from the Mexican state of Jalisco. The meat is flavored with the sauce, the tacos are cooked nice and crispy and THEN the tacos are dipped in the sauce with each...
Birria Sauce (Consommé)
Birria Sauce actually comes from a Mexican stew...but this is just the sauce part. It is so rich and flavorful...you will fall in love with it. It's an amazing mixture of chilis and spices that will knock your socks off! You can purchase a bottle at the store BUT it...
Best Chicken Salad EVER

Sweet Potato Stew
This is one of the tastiest stews EVER. It's one of my all time favorites. It's packed with sweet potatoes, onions, black beans, spinach and a deadly delicious mix of spices. The flavor is insane! My husband prefers it brothy while I like it thickened, like a gravy....
Chocolate Chip Treasure Cookies
These cookies are a creation of Eagle Brand Condensed Milk. They are very easy to throw together and don't even have eggs! AND... they are packed with coconut, milk chocolate chips and chopped nuts, which I suppose is the TREASURE. I have to say that it tracks... I...
Shrimp and Grits
Shrimp and Grits has long been one of my favorite things to order when out to eat. My very favorite version was served at a restaurant that closed down during Covid! Such a loss. It was PERFECTION! The thing about this dish is the amazing mix of flavors and textures...
Bean Soup
This is my Mom's Bean Soup and it is SO GOOD! AND...you can throw it altogether in 15 minutes. My mom was so good at "throwing food together'. I don't know exactly when she started making this or if her mother made it...but I can remember her changing and adapting the...
