In the package that I received from Bella Sun Luci were julienned sun dried tomatoes and red peppers. My sun dried tomato cooking usually leans towards Mediterranean cooking, but when I saw this package with the red peppers, I went South of the Border for inspiration.
Wednesday is the day that I post a black and white food related photo. This week, I’m getting in the Christmas spirit and sharing an ornament from my tree. My glass ‘chef’ ornament came from Germany. Did you know that the Germans were the first to create glass ornaments for the tree? And that Queen […]
With our late summer here in Montana, the tomatoes are growing full on. My neighbor has a green house and his tomato plants are so big that they are growing out of the roof, it’s quite the site. His tomatoes that he’s growing outside of the green house aren’t fairing as well, but not because […]
Can you believe Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner? If you’ve been keeping up on the latest food blog postings, you probably already picked up on the trend of latest Mexican inspired meals. My tacos aren’t trendy but they are delicious! I actually wasn’t sure if tacos were really Mexican or another American […]
I have a problem. It’s been building for months, an insidious problem that won’t go away. It’s fat, it’s been building up and now it is about to bust it seams and get out of control. Something had to be done! The best treatment for getting rid of fat? Cookies! I know what your thinking, […]

Fajita Marinade. Is the a fajita about the marinade? I’ve had just plain grilled meat, seasoned meat, marinated meat, stove top fried, broiled and grilled meat. It seems to me that a fajita is more about serving some meat in a tortilla with some cooked veg and lots of condiments. Which is one reason why […]
Nothing like a holiday to put you in the mood for specific food. Cinco de Mayo is tomorrow and all I have to say is “Free-hole-lays!” Say it with me “Freeee-hole-laaays!” It even sounds festive. No one in my family is from Mexico, not even a remote strain, although I have family in Texas. Close […]
Before this fabulous salsa, Baby Boy swore he didn’t like salsa. He just doesn’t like anything spicy (sometimes you have to wonder, are you really my brood?). Being a good sport and all, BB decided to sample it. Umm, can we say it was gone before I knew it? I really enjoy pico de gallo, […]
Sometimes you have to look back to realize that you’ve come along way! This recipe was one of the first I posted. And boy howdy have I come a long way. On the plus side, I wasn’t very wordy, really had no personality in any of my posts, I was justa sharing recipes that […]
