A unique twist on tacos…..
My friend Heather tried a different way of eating tacos last week – she made the shells out of cheese: She made cheese crisps not too long ago, so I think she wanted to expand her creativity. Plus, she loves Mexican food, as I do. Here are the super easy directions: 1/2 cup cheddar cheese Continue reading

Beer can cauliflower????
Yep folks, that what I said. Not chicken. I ran across this recipe and adapted it to fit what I thought we would like. Gotta be honest though, not really sure on the purpose of the beer can except to keep it elevated off of the grill. But hey, it looks really redneck and impressive, Continue reading

Like carrot cake (& cream cheese)? This is the best!

Boston Creme Pie Cupcakes???
I am a fan of Boston Creme Pie, although I don’t eat a lot of sweets. However, I am not a baker (even though that’s my maiden name). I cannot even make decent chocolate chip cookies, but my roommate (a.k.a. Mike) kicks it to the moon with his! I ran across this recipe posted by Continue reading

Easy Green Beans from a fave BBQ joint!
Last weekend, we made our first jaunt of the summer to the Lake of the Ozarks, and our first stop (well, second I guess – the first was checking out my boat at the marina) was lunch at Wobbly Boots BBQ in Osage Beach. After you have a smoked prime rib french dip there, you’re basically Continue reading

Chicken, bacon, cheese…….
oh yeah, and jalapenos, but not hot. I promise. Since we had the day off yesterday, we did a barbeque run to a new spot, and are recovering from some amazing Kansas City BBQ at Slaps in Kansas City, KS. I highly recommend this joint to everyone. RIBS. The end. We ended up with an entire meal Continue reading
