Are you a Chipotle fan like I am? I don’t mean the smoked pepper, I mean the restaurant where you can buy a burrito the size of a small dog. Are family is a huge fan, and we typically end up there most Sunday’s after church. My favorite part, by far, is there cilantro rice… Read more »

Texas Sheet Cake
I know I say a lot of things are my favorites, but this recipe really is! I remember when my mom would make this when I was growing up. I could walk in the house and sniff the distinct scent of the chocolate and cinnamon and know exactly what my siblings and I were in… Read more »
4th of July Fruit Salad
I was put in charge of fruit salad for this year’s family 4th of July barbecue… I think my mother in law was trying to give me something relatively easy since I’m currently the size of a single family home and can’t be on my feet for too long. Rather than go with the… Read more »
