When we were in Boston a couple years ago, we ate ridiculous quantities of local seafood offerings at just about every meal. One of these meals included the ubiquitous lobster roll. I haven’t gotten it out of my mind since. It’s not that it was the most amazing lobster roll I’ve ever had in my…

In Texas we enjoy a longer grilling season than some. We don’t get much really, truly cold weather here so it’s not unusual to grill any time of year. However, Summertime is especially preferable due to the fact that cooking over a hot stove and using the oven in the Summer can heat up your…

Another new baby in the church nursery means another new meal to prepare and another recipe to try out! It’s summer in Texas after all so that also means no one is eager to spend too much time standing over a hot stove or heating up the house with the oven either. The best solution…

Y’all, the heat this weekend was intense. With a high of 98° with a heat index of 107°, one couldn’t help but sleep off the afternoon heat and do the laundry later in the day when it cooled off a little. The afternoon baking had to wait until evening as well so as not overwhelm…

The Royal Ascot started today! It has long been one of my Bucket List travel destinations/events to attend.

It’s a pajamas-and-marathoning-my-favorite-shows night in while the Mr was at a guys’ night event at church. Since it was Tuesday, I figured I might as well make tacos! I didn’t want any ordinary tacos; I wanted something a little different and healthy that my usual calorie-laden go-to. I like all kinds of tacos with all…

Recently, a dear lady in the church was in the hospital and when our pastors went to visit her, she had herself fixed up as if she wasn’t in the hospital at all, but as if she were receiving her visitors in her home on a regular Saturday afternoon. This dear lady has been with…

I don’t know what it is about summer and seafood, but the two just seem to go so well together. Sure burgers and other grilled meats have their place, but seafood just seems so much more fresh and delicious in summer. My dream summer day would be to enjoy an authentic lobster roll on a…
