I've had a few stuffed peppers in the past. When I was younger, I remember my mom making some spanish style stuffed peppers that I thought were pretty good even though at the time I wasn't a huge pepper fan.
Oh, how times have changed.
These stuffed peppers are pretty amazing and ridiculously easy to do. With around 10-15 minutes of preparation, you can have these babies set to cook through the day in your crock pot with hardly any fuss at all!...
Read MoreA couple of weeks ago my grandma and I were out running errands when we decided to stop at this well known place here in Austin called Kerbey Lane. They are famous for their unique twists on classic foods. As an added perk, they generally pride themselves on using organic and locally grown items in their kitchen.
As luck would have it, we happened to go in the middle of tomato season! While paroosing the ‘Tomato Menu’ I came across an interesting looking item that was marked as ‘Limited Quantity due to Popularity’… so of course that’s what I had to order. Tomato Pie!...

These stuffed zucchini boats are a perfectly clever way to have a bun-less burger that I find to be a lot more filling and easy to eat than wrapping a patty in a mere lettuce leaf. You get all the satisfaction and flavors of a traditional cheeseburger packaged neatly into a zucchini squash.

To be honest, this corn casserole was actually a happy little accident on my part.
I told you. I too make mistakes in the kitchen, especially with baking!...
Read MoreA while back I made this Tortellini en Brodo soup, which is not only one of my favorites, but also a favorite of my mothers. I could seriously eat that soup at least once a week for the rest of my life and never get tired of it. Yes. It's that good.
With spring in full swing and with fresh basil and pesto all around... I wanted to use the same basic idea from my Tortellini en Brodo in a more spring/summer friendly version of the soup...
Read MoreI know, I know... there's a lot of people out there (mostly in the northern states), that don't have any idea what pimento cheese is - nor what they are missing out on with it not being in their lives!
I've made a Skinny Pimento Cheese before, but I always wanted to go back and make a spicy jalapeño version of it because... well, I love spicy stuff. Besides... what goes better with cheese than jalapeños anyway?...
