One of my best friends (who, coincidentally is celebrating her birthday today - happy birthday Stefanie!!!) brought back some incredible Mexican vanilla from her recent trip to Mazatlan. To say this is an obsession is a bit of an understatement. My mind has gone into vanilla mind-suck mode where everything I see and make has vanilla added to it. All I have to say is Mexican vanilla + lasagna [does not]= LOVE. ... continue reading...
Creamy Garlic Dressing
WARNING: this recipe is not for the faint of heart. It's also not for the faint of smell, or for anyone with a fear of temporary bad breath. But I suppose it is the right thing for those who are afraid of vampires and other creatures of the night. But regardless of what you might be afraid of, this recipe is phenomenal because it uses an obscene amount of garlic. And for this girl, garlic makes the world go 'round. I know I've said that about bacon, butter, cheese, and ... continue reading...

4-Layer Turtle Brownies
I used to hate turtles. No, not the animals with the pretty shells and weird way of peeing on you whether they're scared or not. Although being peed on by a turtle is really not a good time. Just trust me. I'm talking the turtles that are made with pecans, caramel, and covered in chocolate. YES. PLEASE. Funny thing is that turtles were my dad's favorite candy treat growing up, something that totally grossed me out. For whatever reason I didn't like pecans OR caramel (I know, I know), and ... continue reading...

Grown-Up Sweet Potato Nachos
When it comes to nachos, I consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur. I mean, I grew up in Texas for crying out loud - the HUB of Tex-Mex cuisine (duh), the birthplace of nachos, and locale of all good food. I think those are pretty good stats for naming myself a nacho connoisseur, don't you? Hello? Hello? Anyone out there? Anyway, I love how the culinary community embraces the standard nacho plate, but loves to mix it up a bit. Add some bacon, guac, ranch, fried stuff, ... continue reading...
Springtime
Springtime in the Rockies is the most beautiful time of year! I can't wait to go hiking and see some green in Colorado. Oh, and get blond armhair again. It's been too long... ... continue reading...
Weeknight Stroganoff
I'm a fan of things that simmer all day - they always tend to taste better. And I think we can all agree that better taste is worth the wait. That being said, who really has time on weeknights to let something sit and simmer for hours while your tummy rumbles like a freight train. No joke, there have been times that my stomach has grumbled so loud that the dogs take notice and cock their heads to the side. That's a little too intense if you ask me. Intensity like that screams for ... continue reading...
Mustache Madness
So you guys want to know what scared my puppies so much that they hid behind the doorway? Not another puppy, a kid, a blender, a plane, train, or automobile. Not a thunderstorm or even me dancing and singing to a song, although if I'm honest they've hid from that before. My puppies, our sweet little fur-babies, were hiding from... NATE! Well, Nate and his crazy mustache. Nate and his crazy mustache that he had to dye for a mustache contest at work. Poor, sweet, scared puppies. Good thing ... continue reading...
Banana Scones with Vanilla Cream Glaze
I told you guys I had a problem with having too many bananas. A far, far cry from the days that I swore off the fruit like it was the plague. Just another testament to the powers of butter and sugar I suppose! Nate and I recently had a revelation the other day: when you get married you tend to switch habits. For example, I used to sleep in as long as humanly possible, snoozing about 5 times (on a good day), and still convincing myself I could forgo showering just this once. Ah, the days ... continue reading...
Covert Puppies

Kitchen Play: Beer-Braised Spring Onion and Herbed Goat Cheese Focaccia Pizza
