In case you haven’t already detected a theme, which points to my two favorite foods that I will almost invariably choose off of any menu or make for myself on a weekly basis: steak and mac and cheese. Steaks are the sole reason I could not ever be a vegetarian. […]
I found this recipe for caramelized onion, gruyere and bacon spread on Cooking Light, and my mind was blown….a dip that has bacon and gruyere, and it’s CL approved?!? I made this dip a few weekends ago when Mom was in town. We had an early brunch, and I was […]
It is a greatly known fact that food excites me. I love researching new food, techniques, restaurants, and planning meals. After spending most of the weekend on the couch with Jason and the girls trying to get over this cold I picked up in Europe, I decided to brighten up […]

I created this recipe after watching Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on the Food Network last week, which featured a place calledTaco Taco in San Antonio. The owner is this adorable Greek lady who decided to start a taco restaurant, and they showed her making her pulled chicken, which looked incredible. […]
