Bun removes itself from the oven when good and ready, but hopefully this one will be done no later than June 22nd.Hope this explains my absence around here lately ;o) Hope you'll forgive me!!!

I'm sure most of you are grilling today - well, here in Tomball and most of South Texas we've been having torrential downpours off and on all day. Instead of grilling, we are having a fish fry. In the spirit of this holiday weekend, I thought I'd post this photo from a while back... Enjoy!!!Margarita Pork Tenderloin(from myrecipes.com)3 garlic cloves, minced1

This is a wonderful Taste of Home recipe - just perfect for those warm summer evenings! My hubby was not to thrilled with the idea of eating strawberries on top of his grilled pork, but he loved it!!! It was actually a great combination! This was even better right on top of the salad!!!

This is a wonderful recipe I got from over at Teri's Kitchen. My hubby went back like 4 times and said I really needed to blog about it!!! So, how could I not?! The addition of Parmesan cheese to this pasta salad gives it a very unique flavor and the tomatoes add texture and an unexpected burst of freshness! This would be great to take to a church potluck or your last picnic of the summer!

Hi all! I know I should've taken a picture of this Chicken Tamale Casserole recipe, but I was soo hungry, I didn't think about it until it was gone...there were NO leftovers here tonight!

I know that Kathy has posted her version of Carne Guisada on here before but this is my version. Not really sure if Guisada & Guizado are the same thing or not? Anyway, this is another awesome recipe from my sweet neighbor Denise (Mama Nise as we know her!). The hubby and I like to eat this with some Spanish rice and tortillas. The kiddos however like me to shred it up and make quesadillas

I know there are millions of chocolate chip cookie recipes out there and this is just the same ole one off the back of the Nestle Toll House bag. But, I just had to put the word out! These mini morsels ROCK! You get at little bit of heaven in every bite with these little chocolate chips.

The moment I saw this over at Lynda's Recipe Box I knew I just had to make this! I wasn't too sure how my husband and kiddos would take to it but let me tell you...They LOVED it!

I know there are a lot of BBQ pork recipes out there but this one is my tried and true that I run to every time. I use McCormick's BBQ Pulled Pork Slow Cooker seasoning packet. All you need is ketchup, vinegar and brown sugar...which most of us already all have in our pantries. Mix up the ingredients, add to slow cooker with your pork roast and cook!!

I got this wonderful recipe from myrecipes, which is from Southern Living - and let me tell you this has "Southern" written all over it!!!!!!

Okay, this photo was taken way back during the spring, but who says you can't use a bunny plate in the summertime?! And this cute little cookie is good year round!!! It's also very easy so the kids can help out, if you can get them inside. I love to make fruit dip for our strawberries and decided that it would be a good combination with sugar cookies. This kid snack was a BIG hit - even with

I found this recipe a few years ago on Allrecipes and have been in love with it ever since! This is one of my all time favorite desserts. The crunchy,sweet & salty layer of the pretzel bottom pairs up perfectly with the strawberry-cheesecake layer! Definitely add this to your summer time desserts.

This post is dedicated to my neighbor, Kristen. She made this for bunko a few years ago and we called it "Kristen's BIG chocolate chip cookie". But, it's only big in the pan until you cut it into bars! So, I had to rename it! ;o) Anyway, it's super yummy and makes a lot! Kristen recently added a new addition to her little family so these were the perfect treat to send over to her house...

Mondays have become my "crockpot cooking" days! This is the day that I call all my CBS ladies and now my daughter is back into tumbling. So, needless to say, I have no time for cooking in the evenings on this day of the week! I got this great recipe over at Jadi's Favorite Recipes - thanks Jadi for making my life easier!!! I'd love to hear from y'all if you have any crockpot favs - I need all

Even though our cold front tomorrow will only bring our "high" temp down to 70 degrees - you might still consider this recipe. We had it awhile back when it was really cold and it really hit the spot. It is a combination of several white chili recipes I found. It was wonderful!!!Creamy White Chili3 chicken breasts, cut into 1/2" cubes1 medium onion, chopped3-4 garlic cloves, chopped1

My daughter and I were watching Food Network last week and started watching Sandra's Money Saving Meals. We both watched her make these two meals with our mouths watering and decided to try them. I thought they both were pretty awesome but my daughter on the other hand found out that she's not quite the spinach lover YET! I'll change that sooner or later, cause Mommy LOVES her spinach!

Every year for Christmas, we make a birthday treat for Jesus! And it usually always seems to be this sugar cookie-cake! I got this recipe from a sweet little American lady while we lived in England. She was an amazing baker!!! Her recipe is for cookies, but I always tend to be in a hurry and just throw it all on a cookie sheet and bake it all at once!I have lost this recipe a million times!!!

I've seen variations of this recipe a dozen times, but I've never loved it more than having it at our church for potlucks. Tina S., who is a friend of mine, always makes this and it is wonderful! It's not like the normal dump cakes out there. I am a crust-lover and this one is the best! I'm not sure if this is her exact ingredients, but it sure tastes like it. She kindly filled me in on her

The girls and I felt a little adventurous this year and decided to make some sugar cookie cut outs for Santa. I usually don't like doing these and instead we just do some kinda drop cookie. But, I think I've found the perfect recipe! We used Tina's over at Mommy's Kitchen and it was soooo yummy!

I always like to make yummy treats to hand out for Christmas to all my neighbors. So, this year I chose to make Mini Old Fashioned Eggnog Bundt cakes. Tina over at Mommy's Kitchen has several, awesome recipes that can be made right from cake mixes. These were really cute and packed up perfectly to deliver to all my neighbors. I got a lot of compliments on them. My kiddos even enjoyed a few

I have seen this recipe all over the blog world and finally decided if it was that popular maybe I should give it a try! I'm so glad I did!!! This is total comfort food!!! It really reminds me of chicken noodle soup - perfect for our rainy weather we've been having lately.I first made it for my MIL, while hubby was in Uganda awhile back. She is so picky and doesn't like to try anything new.

This recipe comes from my favorite Aunt Linda. She used to make this all time, but she used to call it Rice Enchilada Casserole. I have no idea why?! Last time I checked - there is no ranch style beans in enchiladas?! Well, whatever you call it - I call it mmm-mmm good!!!My husband did not grow up in Texas, so he had never had Wolf Brand Chili before. He assumed it must taste like all other

I just wanna give a BIG high five to Melanie over at My Kitchen Cafe for the awesome Sweet and Sour Chicken recipe.

This new school year is CRAZY!!! I have four kids at four different schools - and no one rides the bus!!! (I know, that's my choice) My oldest has football practice everyday, I'm in CBS twice a week, and then there's church and youth group throughout the week, and choir for my daughter - not to mention homework!!! I know that sounds chaotic but actually two of my kids are taking a break from

especially for the summer when the kids are home. We tend to get busy playing, and don't really want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. If you are the same, then give this recipe a try. I saw it in a Betty Crocker magazine while standing in line at the grocery store. My whole family really liked it!Baked Chicken Panzanella2 cups chopped cooked chicken (I used Tyson chicken strips, cut up)

When I saw this on myrecipes, I just knew I had to try it. Talk about summertime grillin'!!! The sweet juiciness of the peach paired with the rich, peppery bite of the arugula and then the tartness of the vinegar -- Wow!!! We loved it! And for once, we didn't change a thing!!! This is definitely a meal to impress!!!Grilled Peaches and Pork 4 (4-ounce) boneless

As usual, the other day Tara and I were discussing what we were making for dinner. I told her about the Betty Crocker email I had gotten and thought the BLT wrap looked really good. It was a good thing too because my pantry was bare and those ingredients were about all I had. Well, she had the same ingredients on hand too. So, we both made the same dinner Monday night.

for the BEST CORN ON THE COB EVER!!!! I found it over on Feasting Friends. Missy found a new technique that will give you that "sweet taste" every time you make corn on the cob. The secret is just adding a few simple ingredients to your water!!! For years I've been boiling my corn in just plain ol' water! She says that if you try it this way - you'll never go back to just plain water ever again!

The medianoche earns its name from the time that it was typically eaten. After a night of dancing, the medianoche is a perfect way to stave off hunger. We're not dancers and we didn't eat this at midnight, but it was still wonderful!!! I couldn't believe even my kids loved it!!!Medianoche1 cup mayo5 Tbs.

Besides hotdogs - does anyone have any great dishes I should try this coming Memorial Day? Main dishes, sides, desserts, -- anything you got!

They drew the names out of a mixing bowl, of course! ;)Anyway, the names that were drawn were Ashley from The Happy

Hope all you mothers out there are enjoying your day! My kids really enjoy getting in the kitchen. I just had to share this with you - my second son came up with this creation, pictured above. My kids eat quesadillas like normal kids eat grilled cheese. They really like changing things up and trying new variations. Here's my second's son recipe - cheese, green onions, and lemon juice all in

Hey guys! Just wanted to let y'all know that this week is really busy!!! It's that time of year again!!! I have a hard time posting in May (not to mention viewing your blogs) with the end-of-year stuff going on at all four of my kids' schools! My second son is having a slumber party this weekend, so I'm also doing last minute stuff for that this week. So, hopefully I'll be back in a few days
