Happy Tuesday! I haven’t blogged in a week so I have a lot to say but, I’ll save all that for tomorrow :). I am so excited about this post because it is for one of my ABSOLUTE favorite kitchen gadgets – my Neuro Fuzzy rice cooker. After my brother got one of these for his wedding last year (and the jealousy of not owning this awesome little gadget myself ensued), I bought my own, and have used it 2-3x […]
Hatch Chile season is almost over :(. It seems like it’s leaving just as fast as it came, but I can’t be too sad seeing as I roasted, peeled, and froze about 8 batches last night :). I feel like this year, more and more people are catching on, in Houston at least, and just about everywhere I have gone these past two weeks has had a ton of special hatch items on the menu – I love it!!! This […]
HATCH CHILE SEASON IS HERE!!! Since I can’t yell at you through the computer screen I hope my caps did the trick. If you saw the last post I did with the Hatch Chile Soup recipe, or my most popular recipe, Hatch Pepper Dirty Rice Casserole, you already know I am crazy about these peppers. They only come around for the month of August, so I am taking it upon myself to make sure anyone who comes across my blog (and somehow doesn’t know […]
Hatch Chile season is here!!! (commence overcrowding of every grocery store for the next month). I have been patiently waiting all year for the 2 weeks I get to drive up to central market, open my car door, and have my senses flooded with the sweet smell of hatch peppers roasting in the parking lot. It seems like it leaves us just as quickly as it arrives, so I’m savoring every moment :). For those of you who don’t know […]
I am so excited to write this post. A few weeks ago, I received an email inviting me to take part in the “Generous Pour Summer Wine Event” at Capital Grille here in Houston, and I immediately said yes. First off, the event sounded AMAZING – $28 per person with dinner for the option to taste eight remarkable wines crafted, designed, or owned by distinguished women from some of California’s most acclaimed vineyards – YES PLEASE! If you read my blog regularly, […]
It seems like cauliflower pizza crust and “fried rice” are a huge craze right now, and I have been dying to try them. I have been eating so well lately, trying to keep up with my 21 Day Fix diet, so I decided to finally make one of them. This cauliflower “fried rice” totally surprised me. The texture of it was so similar to rice or quinoa, the taste was so clean and yummy, and I’m pretty sure it tricked my brain because […]
I love shishito peppers, and it seems like everywhere you go right now, you find someone cooking them up. I never even knew about these little baby peppers until this past year, but I have quickly become obsessed. They are so mild in flavor (unless you get the one out of every ten that is hot), and have a hint of sweetness to them. They make an awesome appetizer, and pretty much whatever way you decide to make them they will […]
