As a native Texan, Mexican food is basically in my blood stream. Any kind of taco night is a hit around here, so I came up with a quick variation on tacos that can be whipped up in under 30 minutes. This recipe uses Rotisserie Chicken, so it’s already cooked and easily cuts your prep time in half!

When I say that ANYONE can make this fruit salad, I literally mean ANYONE. Even if the kitchen is your struggle bus, you can be successful with this delicious fruit salad!

If you want a fresh, delicious salad that is super filling, you need to make this Tortellini Caprese Pasta Salad!

Everyone LOVES the big bowl of salad that you get at Olive Garden with breadsticks before your meal. It’s a VERY easy salad to make and is great for a big crowd.

Hot crackers is a snack I grew up on. My mom always had a container, especially around holidays or when we were going to travel somewhere. I actually thought they were some secret snack that only our family knew about 🤣.

The boys love taking granola bars to school/activities for a snack, but so many places are nut free now that it was becoming difficult to find a relatively healthy and cost-efficient option.

I threw this meal together a few months back and now my family asks for it weekly! I love that this is basically a one pan meal, but I also love to sauté fresh spinach with a little lemon pepper as a side.

Mexican rice is very easy to make and is always the perfect side for any taco night!

This sausage ball appetizer recipe will be a HUGE hit at your next event. It’s ready to go in under 45 minutes, only uses 4 ingredients and your stomach will thank you!

This recipe is SO EASY - literally 3 ingredients + dressing! It’s a great salad to take to a BBQ or potluck because it makes a pretty big bowl and can easily be doubled for more people.

We LOVE muffins around here. They are an easy option for breakfast on the go or just for a snack! This recipe is called BIG BATCH for a reason. It makes 7-8 dozen muffins.

People ask all the time what the difference in broth and stock are. The biggest difference is how they are made. Broth is made from meat and vegetables and doesn’t cook as long as stock.

One of my favorite places to eat in Texas is La Madeleine. It’s a French bakery and café and they have the most delicious food!

Baked Sandwich Pinwheels are a perfect quick lunch or dinner. They are one of my go-to recipes on busy activity nights because start to finish they take less than 30 minutes.

If you are looking for a way to start making some of your foods at home or even get into canning, applesauce it a great place to start.

Rotisserie Chicken might be the most underutilized kitchen tool, and yes, I call it a kitchen tool because it is something that is super versatile and makes daily life easier in the kitchen.

Every year one of the kid’s groups at our church does a fundraiser with Palisade Peaches in CO. They are SO delicious but I always get way too many to eat before they go bad. So this year I decided to try my hand at canning them, making a fruit butter and making peach syrup.

Cobb Salads are definitely in my top 3! I like my salad to have bulk to it, not just a pile of lettuce with a few toppings, which is why Cobb Salads are a great option!

I love ordering an Asian salad when we go to a restaurant, so I decided to recreate a very simple version at home. I used the breast meat of a Costco Rotisserie Chicken, this makes it even easier and I can use the dark meat for another meal later in the week.

If you know me well, you know that I’m basically comprised of half salsa. I blame it on my Texas roots!
