If you’re anything like me, your enthusiasm for the holidays is followed by that feeling in the pit of your stomach when you think about all the temptations that lie ahead. It seems from the moment Halloween rolls around, it is nothing but sweets, treats, and grain-filled EVERYTHING until after the new year strikes! When I…
Wintermint Coffee Creamer
And just like that, we’ve transitioned from pumpkin to mint! It happens every year as the “popular coffee joints” bring back their seasonal festive bevs and matching seasonally appropriate colored paper cups. While I myself prefer to drink my own blend of “I know what’s in my cup” coffee, I do appreciate the seasonal flare…
Cranberry Sauce TWO Ways
When I asked y’all the other day if you grew up eating jellied or whole berry cranberry sauce, I was surprised to see it just about split down the middle. I personally grew up eating the jellied stuff. Right outta the can. I am just fine admitting this because honestly, I thought it tasted pretty…

Juicy Cubes
I am a big fan of water, meaning I drink a lot of it. Do I love water? I do not. It bores me. I favor bubbly water the most because it at least has some kick but I sure wish it had more personality. This idea came to me today as I walked through…
Date-Sweetened BBQ Sauce
BBQ sauce is as inherent to Texas as Tex-Mex is. And truth be told, BBQ sauce isn’t just a condiment, it is a pure reflection of the personality consuming it. There are sauces that can be based on honey, tomato, molasses, smoky, spicy, pepper, tangy, mustard, and on and on. And with each sauce comes a…
