Tapas experiment

My family and I suspect most Americans don’t spend enough time eating. Oh my we get enough FOOD to eat, but seem to spend very little time enjoying the experience.  We’ve been working at adding more variety to our diet in the form of organ meats, sea food and vegetables, to my dear husbands meat-and-potato-loving [...]

Wherein I make a mess outta the kitchen

I like to make soup a couple of times in the week for lunch and to add to dinner. Today I was working on tortilla soup but was distracted by chasing a pooping Pit Bull puppy: she ate an entire tube of raw chorizo that my (adult) son left sitting on the couch and it [...]

Buffalo Chicken dip

I found a new keeper appetizer recipe today! It’s called Buffalo Chicken dip and wow, is it good! One of my favorite dishes in the world is Buffalo Chicken wings, home made with loads of bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks: don’t forget the chips, salsa and beer! This recipe is a take on that [...]

Making deep fried tacos

Ok, Homesick Texan, I am going to have to start paying you royalties or something. So, a while back the menfolk hereabouts made deep fried tacos whiel I took pics.

The Blahs

Shhh…It’s in the oven I am totally gonna eat some tonight!  So, I was standing around, yelling at the Olde Man about chocolate and dessert and eaten peaches and the abomination of belly-worship while eyeballing the leftover Challah and inspiration struck! I wanted mooore bread pudding, my current favorite obsession, but something more…spicy. I checked [...]

Saturday Lovin’

Lovin’ them eggs Benedict, actually.  Oh, the joy of runny dark yellow yolks intertwined with the juicy pale ham slices and the golden buttery heaven of the hollandaise sauce…a stick of butter=Nirvana.  Really.  I could drip the Hollandaise all over my body and li…ummm, maybe that is a post for another blog.  Muki’s Kitchen, perhaps.

O The Humanities!

One of the enduring Sabbath traditions around our house (and one of the ongoing reasons for my*ahem* large behind) is some sort of ooey-gooey treat to last the weekend.  I have tried every treat imaginable, from low-carb to store bought to fancy-made.  We always tend to come back to simple pies and cakes.  For this [...]

Migas for breakfast

Sigh.  Homesick Texan , I love you but my ass is growing from eating too much of your gorgeous recipes.  Sigh again. The ONLY way I have ever successfully lost weight is with low-carbing. However, I LOATHE the process of low-carbing, as it helps me wack out in my OCD way on every damned thing [...]
