Pretzel-Crust Cherry Chocolate Brownies

Thank you all so much for the overwhelmingly amazing response to Faces of Beauty!  Keep those submissions coming! Let's talk about butter now, OK?  There was a time, seemingly oh so long ago, that butter scared the heck out of me.  Pure fat?  No thank you! Thank goodness I've come around since then.  So much so that I am now going to present y'all with a recipe that requires almost a pound of butter. Hey, I never PROMISED healthy recipes all the time, but I did promise good food :)  The other ... continue reading...

The Announcement

Good morning everyone! Today's the day I've been teasing y'all about for a while now :)  This post could get a little wordy, but please read all the way through since this is something that is very near and dear to my heart. If you've been reading Heather's Dish for a while now, or even if you've just stopped by to check out the "About Me" section, you have probably read about the fact that I struggled with body image issues and disordered eating for 14 years of my very short life.  I could ... continue reading...

Rum Cream Glaze

Y'all, yesterday was just A DAY. And I know I said that on Friday, really...yesterday was a DAY.  After getting home from work I took some time and walked the dogs, then indulged in a glass of wine whilst cooking dinner. And there might've been another glass just for good measure. So after cooking dinner it was no surprise that I was dreaming of recipes to share with you guys...sugar and alcohol go perfectly together after a long day of needy emails.  Sadly, I did not come up with the ... continue reading...

Hunter Family Salsa

And here we are at Monday again.  Le sigh. Is it too early to think about margaritas? Saturday night we had the awesome privilege of hanging out with our good friends Robbie and Stefanie and indulging in homemade Mexican food.  The menu featured chicken tacos (made with homemade taco seasoning), cilantro-lime rice, and homemade salsa.  Only this time we used Stefanie's recipe!  (P.S. this is Robbie & Stef.  Probably 2 of the prettiest people I know): HUNTER SALSA 1 full bunch cilantro 1 ... continue reading...

Jessica's Peanut Butter Banana Bread

Good morning everyone!  How's the weekend going for you? I know I've been loving mine :)  But before we get to Jessica's Peanut Butter Banana Bread I just have to show you some of the pictures from the baby shower for our friends Jason & Stephanie!  They have an amazing story of grace, and it is just the biggest blessing to have been their friends as they have gone through this pregnancy.  Baby Boy is due November 4!  It feels like just yesterday Steph called to say she was ... continue reading...

My Beer Story

I never had a sip of alcohol til I was 21. Go ahead, judge me.  I was afraid I'd get in trouble.  I know I'm a goody-goody! Regardless, when I DID drink the last thing I wanted was beer.  Why would I want to drink that smelly stuff?  So I went on my merry way, trying to learn how to love wine, drinking margaritas every now and then, and developing a taste for Cape Cods (vodka, cranberry juice, twist of lime). 2 years ago we had a good friend drive up from Dallas to interview for a med school ... continue reading...

Mud Pie Mojo Brownies

I'm such a tease. Before I get into the recipe for the Mud Pie Mojo Brownies, I'm going to show you pictures of some of the fresh, healthy, colorful food that I saw at the Farmer's Market yesterday on my date with Heather.  It's kind of like eating a salad and then a piece of cheesecake...balanced. And this was waaaaaaaaaaay too good to pass up.  Remember how yesterday I told y'all that I decided I didn't like salads?  Guess what I ordered for dinner last night? I blame it on the ... continue reading...

Let's Get Serious

Yesterday, while at work, I asked my sweet husband to please let me know what was on his mind for dinner. No response. While on my afternoon walk, I came to the conclusion that when it comes to salads, I could really care less. It's not the veggies; I actually love them.  It's not the coolness; my iron stomach and taste buds like food at any temperature.  The reality is that I just like other things so much more than salads.  Those things fill me up, body and soul, and salads?  Salads do ... continue reading...
