Texas Caviar Party Dip
More football food, friends. Dare I admit that I've lived back in TX for more than 3 years and I'm FINALLY sharing my Texas Caviar recipe. This stuff is like 'healthy dip crack' - because it's not super high in fat or calories and it's super colorful. And full of fiber. And good for you. But it's addicting.addicting.addicting. You've been warned … [Read more...]
Chunky Beef & 15 Bean Chili
I'm sitting here watching Sunday night football. Rather, I'm sitting here with football playing in the background. My older boys have become quite the football aficionados and I know more about football these days than I ever have in my entire life. (Thanks to the endless supply of information and stats they tell me every day.) I've always loved college football...but that … [Read more...]
No Bake Chia Cherry Cashew Energy Bites
We adore energy bites. I make them a few times a month for after school snacks and try to keep "stock" on hand. Most energy bites have dried fruit, some nuts, some dates and a sweetener (in this case, cherry preserves.) If I have time, I'll mix them up in the morning and put them into the fridge. It might sound crazy that I have extra time in the mornings to spend … [Read more...]

Potato Chip Chicken Strips
Better. The best chicken strips I've ever made...maybe!? These homemade chicken strips are so, so, so, so much better than other chicken strips. I think it's the combination of the salty potato chips with the sour cream and paprika based dipping process. Oh, and the fact that the kids made these completely on their own. My oldest son is 10 years old and I'm really working … [Read more...]
Chorizo Potato Hash
I've got an amazing, quick and super delicious skillet dinner for you tonight! This really a "brinner" as it's more of a breakfast meal than a dinner meal...so we'll call it a brinner. Brinner is generally quick and this one is colorful, flavorful, packed with protein and veggies. You can serve it as is, or with some ripe, fresh fruit. The cooking method for this meal is … [Read more...]
Grilled Flank Steak with Tomatillo Salsa
This, my friend. This meal was so so so so scrumptious. The rice, the beans, the steak...and the spicy, fresh tomatillo salsa. The spicy part is entirely optional, so don't let that scare you away. Flank steak is a fantastic cut of meat - it's inexpensive, takes on flavor well and grills up in a matter of minutes. And tomatillos - they have such a rich and fresh … [Read more...]
