Cilantro Lime Rice
Cilantro lime rice seems to be a staple with Travis' side of the family. And I am not complaining. Travis and his family are competitive, and he loves to compete with his sisters at basically everything. His sister Mindy is a great cook, so of course Travis challenges that. They have had a couple different cooking competitions over the years. In fact, the first time I ever met his family was at one of their cooking competitions. This past Christmas, Travis and I challenged Mindy to a cook-off. We wanted to make cilantro lime rice because we discovered a great recipe for it while I was in Continue Reading

Deviled Eggs with Bacon
This year for Easter, I brought my first dish to our family get-together. No one had signed up for deviled eggs, and you can't not have eggs for Easter. So I decided to try my hand at making deviled eggs for the first time! I knew I didn't want just any deviled eggs. You see, my sister-in-law made the best deviled eggs I'd ever had at Thanksgiving last year. And well, I just had to give my family a chance to try them too! Deviled Eggs with Bacon. Deviled Eggs with Bacon and Green Onion. Now that's what I'm talking about! (This post contains affiliate links. View my disclosure Continue Reading
Honey Garlic Rolls
Prepare to drool. It has been years since I had these amazing yeast rolls made by my friend Sarah. Recently, I couldn't stop thinking of them so I dug around until I found the recipe she gave me, seriously, probably two years ago. Maybe three. I decided it was time to try to make them for myself. I was for sure they weren't going to turn out anything like Miss Sarah's. But to my delighted surprise, they turned out just as delicious as her's! These Honey Garlic Rolls are mouth watering, and I dare you not to eat three or more in one sitting. Actually, go ahead and eat as many as you want Continue Reading
Pesto Mushroom Bites
Sometimes, my husband likes to cook. I love it because it means I don't have to. He likes trying new creations. One day he came home from work and had hit up the grocery store. He had several ingredients that weren't on our list. Soon the knives were coming out and the oil was being poured into a frying pan. The smell was amazing, and I pondered over to the kitchen to see what was being made. I have to admit, what I saw didn't look too good. But I tried his creation. To my surprise, it was really good. In fact, I asked him if I could have more, and the next day I asked him to make it Continue Reading
Queso Dip
One of my new favorite foods is queso! I love going to Mexican restaurants now, specifically for their chips and queso. I wanted to be able to make this delicious dip at home, and now I can. This recipe is fabulous! Travis and I love chowing down on chips and queso while watching TV or a movie. We refrigerate the leftovers and heat it up later -- and it's still just as good! Here's what you'll need: White American cheese Butter Milk Chopped green chilies Garlic powder Onion powder Cumin Cayenne pepper First, put the cheese, butter and milk together in a saucepan Continue Reading
Zucchini Crisps
I thought this recipe sounded good. It would be a nice addition to our lunch one day. I made the zucchini crisps, and it wasn't really what I expected. I thought they would be more crunchy. At first, Travis and I both weren't too sure about them. I made a few more, and suddenly Travis was really liking them. He even asked for more. I think we both had different expectations than what we got, but then we realized they were pretty good. These zucchini crisps are a good side dish, appetizer or snack. They are crisp on the outside but soft on the inside. They have a really good flavor, just a Continue Reading
Spinach Artichoke Dip
I've never liked spinach artichoke dip. But Travis loves it. Since he was in eye surgery recovery and home for the day from work, I wanted to make him some. And it turns out, even I really liked it! I really loved the cheesy, garlicky spinachness of this dip. And this recipe made a ton, so we'll be eating it for days. You can eat this dip with tortilla chips, pita chips, bread or crackers. Here's what you'll need: Butter Sour cream Cream cheese Parmesan cheese Artichoke hearts Spinach Garlic Jalapenos Start by preparing your ingredients. Drain the artichoke hearts Continue Reading
Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
This bread is way better than your normal banana bread. Even my husband loved it and it has chocolate in it! I made it the other day and it was ready and still warm when Travis got home from work. Supper wasn't quite ready yet, so it was the perfect appetizer for him since he walks in the door starving every day. Making my husband happy when he walks in that door brings us both sunshine! Here's what you'll need: Yellow cake mix Eggs Overripe bananas Chocolate chips Mash up the bananas. I think four bananas would be best, but I only had two so I just went with it! (It Continue Reading
Baked Zucchini Fries
I've sorta been on a health kick lately. I say sorta because I also still like my ice cream. I can't help it. We're supposed to have dairy in our diet anyways, right? So while I haven't stopped eating ice cream, I have tried to start eating more vegetables. Lately, we've had green beans, asparagus, broccoli and now zucchini. I really like zucchini, and there are tons of things you can make with it. Travis and I tried something new for us though -- baked zucchini fries -- and they turned out awesome! They are crunchy but soft on the inside with lots of flavor on the outside. We didn't even Continue Reading
