Americans across the country are celebrating Super Bowl Sunday today! Who are you rooting for? A tradition that started with my dad that we’ve continued in our family, is to make our homemade chili for game day.

Enjoy and have a super awesome day!

Growing up in southern California you would think that naturally I had made homemade cheese enchiladas! But I hadn’t until this past weekend and all I could think was WHY?!

Slow Cooker Vegetarian Tortilla Soup
Tis the season for soup! Though I love to eat soup all year long (our local Pho place knows my daughter and I by name) and we are big fans of Ramen, Vietnamese soup, vegetable soup… heck, I don’t think I’ve come across a soup I didn’t like. We wanted to try a new soup and came across a yummy recipe for Mexican Tortilla Soup. We tweaked it a bit and I have to say it is one of my favorite soups we’ve made so far! Super easy if you are short on time. Just put everything in the slow cooker on high for three hours and you will…

A Real Crowd Pleaser :: Raspberry Cream Cheese Dip
Thank you Breton for sponsoring this post. Make everyday entertaining better with Breton! I don’t know about you but with this ridiculous heat wave we are having in Southern California, the idea of cooking in a hot kitchen does not really sound that appealing! Granted, not everyone’s AC is broken (sigh) but I wanted to create something yummy for the family to enjoy on this hot summer night. We were asked to create a delicious recipe centered around the Breton Artisanal Cranberry and Ancient Grains crackers which, truthfully, taste amazing just by themselves! In fact, when I was preparing this recipe, my daughter came into the kitchen and asked…

Perfectly Grilled Steak & Lobster Recipe
This week my ever-growing daughter asked to have steak for dinner. It reminded me of the first time she ever had meat – like right off the grill ribs. She was about 4 years old and was at a friends birthday at the zoo. The boy’s father was a chef (lucky kid!) and was grilling up some baby back ribs. I can still remember the look of surprise Kate had while eating these tasty ribs. I think she went back for thirds! To this day, we call her the carnivore because she just loves to eat meat. I try to buy grass-fed, no-hormone steaks because frankly I think they…

Grilled Shrimp with Garlic and Herbs
We have been enjoying quite a few shrimp recipes this summer! Seafood just sounds better during the hot summer months doesn’t it? And shrimp is pretty affordable – especially if you buy it frozen! We (my husband) attempted this new recipe on the grill and it is both in our top 2 favorite shrimp recipes we’ve tried out so far. There is a ton of flavor and super easy to make! We grilled some artichokes as well. First steam them and make sure they are soft enough to eat. The grilling with some spices and a little olive oil just adds some nice flavor. We also grilled some corn.…
