These are THE creamiest lemon bars I’ve ever eaten. Lemon bars were probably the first thing I baked when I first started out. They were also the first recipe I got comfortable enough with to start tweaking and experimenting. One of my early experiments included using sweet and condensed milk and since then I never…

Nopales (Cactus) Breakfast Tacos
Cactus breakfast tacos are always a treat! Adding potato and egg is a great way to be introduced to cactus. Cactus for the unfamiliar, is similar to aloe. It has a gel like inside. To remove this gel you’re going to need to boil it in the water, salt and vinegar. Cactus done correctly has…
Bruschetta Cod
Cod not to be confused with salt cod is something I eat often. Most seafood I’m really not that into but ill make a exception for cod. I prefer meatier fish like cod, mahi, or tuna. The challenge is keeping me interested so I’m always trying to think of different ways to get it in…
Cajun Jambalaya
Jambalaya is something I’ve eaten a lot of and I loved since I was kid. I just love the mix of crunchy peppers and veggies. The assortment of meats and of course the kick of the spices. It really brings out my inner Newman. When I was a kid though it used to leave this…

Garlic Habanero Lamb Loin Chops
‘Its really cold out right now here in Texas. But it’ll be 71 by Monday. Classic Texas weather. So when I have windows to get that “cold weather” food in that we all know and love about winter, I generally have a very short time frame. Heck I wouldn’t be surprised if its 80 tomorrow….
Shrimp Burgers with Lemon Kewpie Mayo
Shrimp is something that I indulge in often but sometimes I have to remind myself to do something different. Fried shrimp used to be my go-to but I find myself really limiting my fried food intake to maybe once a week. I find that the healthier I eat the more the desire for bad food…
