Make that ice cream Dreyer’s Slow Churned Limited Edition Peppermint Wonderland and you might as well pass out, with a big fat grin on your…
Mini Honey Coconut Cakes with Pomegranate
I’m not really a baker, except when Christmas is around the corner. Then I get my entire baking quota in for the year. While I was at the store, I got my hands on a big beautiful pomegranate. I took it home not knowing what I was going to do with it, although I was…
Bourbon Pecan Pie Chocolate Donuts
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Pompeian Grapeseed Oil Spray. I’ve decided that donuts need to be in my life more. Oh! I am also obsessed with pecan pie. Seriously completely obsessed! If you ask me what kind of cake I want for my birthday I respond “PECAN PIE!”. If…
Persimmon and Pear Big Crumb Ginger Crumble
Full disclosure, I had never eaten a persimmon before today, at least not that I can remember. Year after year I have seen them at the grocery store with their beautiful bright orange color, but I never felt compelled to take some home. This year was different, as soon persimmons came into season I…
Thanksgiving Dressing: My Mami’s Dressing

I always though of dressing as salad dressing. You know ranch…thousand island? I also had a though of the turkey wearing a dress, but I…

Vintage Camper turned Glamper – DIY Renovation
***UPDATE – 9/18/14*** We’ve decided to borrow the same idea that many others have used since the housing crash and dream small. OB and I have downsized and move into our 150 square-feet for the next 2 years. Yes, you read that correctly, OB, the dogs and I now live in 150 sqft or more specifically the camper for the next 2…
Barriguitas de Vieja ( Pumpkin Fritters )
Pumpkin is everywhere! Literally! Go to the stores and you will see the aisles filled with pumpkin butter, pumpkin bread, pumpkin soda, pumpkin pasta sauce and of course the always anticipated pumpkin spice latte. I though I would do a little pumpkin-ing myself, but this isn’t your traditional pumpkin recipe. Actually if we are…
Ternera Guisada con Bolitas de Platano (Veal & Plantain Dumplings)
What have you been up too? I am on a hunt. A hunt for a house in Dallas. It’s amazing how hard it is to find a house without carpet. Then sometimes I find one without carpet, but it has wood paneling or worse floral wallpaper. Next week OB and I head down to Dallas…
