Copycat Chuy’s Creamy Jalapeno Dip
If I visit a city that has a Chuy's Mexican Restaurant I high tail it over there asap! Their food tastes so fresh and you can't beat their tortillas! Upon arrival, they bring you chips, salsa & creamy jalapeno dip. I'd never ventured out and tried the jalapeno dip until the last time I ate there, and I'm so glad I did! This dip is so addictive! You just can't stop eating it! It's got just … Read More
Grilled Honey Lime Chicken Skewers
If you follow me on Instagram, you saw my husband grilling up these skewers last week. I have to brag on him, he's becoming quite the grill master. He went grocery shopping all by himself and grilled me steak & chicken this past weekend for Mother's Day! More about our Mother's Day adventures later. These skewers were absolutely incredible! They had such great flavor and had a nice … Read More

He's always saying I make things he likes but that he never gets to have … Read More

These would be great at a Memorial Day cookout or Fourth of July or I might just make them for a mid week meal, haha! Good thing about this recipe is that it is easily halved to make 1 dozen … Read More
Sophie 6 Months
I thought since Sophie is now 6 1/2 months that it was time for an update. She is doing great! She's rolling over and sitting up almost all by herself. We still put the Boppy around her most of the time to prevent any falls but she isn't near as wobbly as she was. She's starting to say consonants and has said Mama & Dada a couple times. If you ask here Where's Mommy or Daddy she looks … Read More
Avocado Cilantro Dressing
I thought I would share a way to enjoy Cinco de Mayo a bit healthier. This dressing would be perfect on a southwest chicken salad with black beans, corn, & tomatoes! It's also great on a regular salad and would be delicious as a topping for chicken or as a sauce in tacos. It's got a great sweet & citrusy flavor and has a nice creaminess from the avocado. Avocado Cilantro … Read More
Baked Mini Churro Bites
It's almost one of my favorite days of the year, Cinco de Mayo! Pretty much just because it's an excuse to eat my favorite Mexican food! This year to get ready I thought I'd go the dessert route. I've had these little bites on my radar for quite some time and am so glad I finally made them!! These are amazing!! They taste pretty much just like cinnamon sugar cake donuts. They are soft and … Read More
