The White Pig rocked the milkshakes like no one else. Believe you me, best milkshake ever. The White Pig? Who ever heard of such a name? People who grew up in Lubbock and were lucky enough to have been around the East side of town, that's who. I remember the first time my dad took us there - y'all, this was a place that would have had the reigning spot on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Mostly in the Drive-In-turned-Dive part, but you know what? When the food is great you just don't ... continue reading...
Strawberry Pineapple Crumble
Or you could call this fancied-up dump cake. I wouldn't mind. I know you guys know that dump cake (pineapple, cherry pie filling, boxed cake mix and pecans) is kind of my favorite 'cake' ever. I probably mention it on here once a week. Back in the day I used to beg for it for my birthday cake and then wait to eat it til the next day because it's always best at room temperature. My parents thought I was so weird, and my sister thought I was nuts for not getting a cake with double the ... continue reading...
Happy 235th Birthday America
This is me. This is me wishing you a wonderful 4th of July. And this is me saying you better have fun. Have fun or else :) Much love, Heather ... continue reading...
Cherry Chocolate Almond Crunch Cookies
Chocolate cookies are far and away my favorite cookies ever. Now, if you ask Nate what he thinks about that I think we all know that his resounding answer is going to be CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES ARE WAY BETTER. It's OK, I've already forgiven him for that transgression. Love you babe! Do you ever wonder how a food blogger comes up with recipe ideas? I mean really, in all of my wildest dreams I didn't think that I would ever be coming up with over 300 different recipes a year and writing ... continue reading...
Healthy Spinach Artichoke Dip
There’s one appetizer that, if all else fails, we WILL order at a restaurant: spinach artichoke dip. Hey, it’s what we do. We look at other options and then go with the one that we know we’ll both love and consume way too much of. What’s wrong with that? Nothing. Nothing at all. However, I have to say that I’m a homemade spinach artichoke dip virgin. Never made it, never even attempted it, unless you count the TGIFriday’s frozen appetizers or Lay’s jarred dip. And I ... continue reading...
Nothing Better
I ask you this: is there anything better than homemade pizza? I think not! ... continue reading...
Creamy Homemade Orange Curd
Does the word ‘curd’ freak anyone else out? I tried my first cheese curds about a year ago. That was a big step. Then a few months later I made lemon curd (yes, I know they're not the same). Heaven. So why does the name still scare me? I guess it’s just what happens when you’re me. No big deal. So the other day I was absolutely craving lemon curd and lo an behold had absolutely zero lemons in the house. It’s how life goes guys, it’s inevitable. But what I did have was ... continue reading...
Celestial Seasonings Tour
Saturday we spent about 2 hours at the Celestial Seasonings tea headquarters in Boulder, Colorado. You want something fun to do when you're here? Do this! You get free samplings of fantastic tea and free awesome teas to sample. Can't beat free! Also, if you're needing fashion inspiration, check out this dress made of tea envelopes. Beautiful, right? ;) The whole tour was awesome and the gift shop is a place I could have stayed in forever, but I have to be honest that the best ... continue reading...
Charred Poblano Cilantro Pesto
Put some pep in your step! I remember once upon a time going to a local burrito joint and ordering, upon my friend Stefanie’s urging, a chicken burrito with poblano pesto and my life has not been the same ever since. I’ve spent hours dreaming of poblano pesto and the infinite uses I would have for it. You want flavor? Get it here! The best part about this is by far roasting the peppers. Wash ‘em off, dry ‘em off, and stick them about 2 millimeters from the broiler and let the magic ... continue reading...
Sweet Peach Tea Tiramisu
If you've been reading over the past couple of weeks you have probably noticed my recent crazy obsession with sweet tea. And if you haven't, then there you have it: I'm currently obsessed with the stuff! It's kind of a yearly ritual: start drinking hot tea and coffee in late September/early October and then around the beginning of April I turn to sweet black tea. It's heavenly! Recently I've been loving it with peaches in it too (yes, real live peaches!), and when it came to ... continue reading...
Herbs Are Pretty
There's just something about fresh herbs that makes my little cooking heart go pitter-patter. Unfortunately I don't use them as often as I should or as often as I'd like, but when I do it feels like I'm creating a true culinary masterpiece. Even if it's just ranch dressing. I think my favorites by far are basil, parsley, and thyme. But I wouldn't kick dill or chives out of bed either if you know what I mean. They're all good, they all lend crazy fresh flavor to things, and they all ... continue reading...
WichCraft
Sometimes something magical comes along and wakes up your sandwich appetite with a mighty and deafening roar. Cheesy? Probably. Delicious? Absolutely! My sister got me this little jar of heaven for Mother's Day this year, and I have to say I absolutely adore it. Spread it on just about anything and you have a meal. Promise - just ask me! I believe this brand can be purchased at Williams-Sonoma, although I say buy it wherever you can! ... continue reading...
