Hungry Man (Or Lil’ Lady) BLT

31 Aug

So this cannot really be classified as a recipe.  Just something that happened on an unassuming Sunday evening.  The Cowboy’s idea…not mine.

I felt the need to share this little revaluation with you.  Sometimes it’s all about leaving things simple.

Cinnamon Apple Crumble Muffins

30 Aug

It would appear I just had a harvest festival right in my moth bone.

I know I’m a little preemie on the whole fall, harvest, autumn, gathering thing.  But I can’t help it.  It calls to me, like Dwight Yoakam.

Chicken, Broccolini, Tomato, & Artichoke Flat Bread

29 Aug

What an incredible way to inhale, I mean incorporate more veggies into your life.  Or you children’s lives.  Or your burly husband’s life.

Weekend Breakki.

Is there anything more satisfying than a laid back breakfast?  Maybe cracking creme brule with a spoon, or the first feel of fall, or seeing a man pedaling a unicycle up a long mountainous highway.  For me I think it’s the first one.

Shrimp & Corn Quesadilla With Chimichurri Dipping Sauce

23 Aug

I’ve returned.

I soaked up that 100 degree weather as much as I physically could.  I sat in the searing heat, cooking myself, breathing it all in, and loving every second.  It was lovely and went down smooth.

I’m sorry.

I’m at it again with the Mexican.  Here is the dilemma I’m facing: I cannot stop eating it.

Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?
