Taqueria Maria Bonita Review
Before our move, we wanted to visit with the owner of the restaurant that we worked at for eight years. He suggested we meet at Taqueria Maria Bonita.
Our Mini Imagine Festival
With the pandemic came the cancellation of so many events. When Imagine Festival canceled, we decided enough was enough and planned our own mini-festival.
Spinach Arugula Artichoke Dip
As I looked for a recipe for Spinach Arugula Artichoke Dip, Chris put ingredients out on the counter and told me to wing it. It was a daunting task to me.
Turkey and Sausage Gumbo
I recently made a turkey and sausage gumbo with enough heat to be just this side of too much. Chris said it was the best thing I have ever cooked for him.
Pesto Alfredo Turkey Casserole
I made a pesto alfredo turkey casserole to finish up the last of my frozen turkey. The delicious combination of alfredo sauce and pesto made a decadent dish.
Homemade Walnut Pesto
With my newfound kitchen confidence, I thought I would tackle making pesto from scratch. Instead of the traditional pine nuts, I experimented with walnuts.
Ponies, Big Rocks, and a Fox
We enjoyed our visit to Grayson Highlands State Park. The ponies were spectacular. I was particularly enthralled by the babies.
Sarah’s Restaurant at Fox Creek General Store Review
We went to Sarah's Restaurant at Fox Creek General Store for barbecue. It was our first dine-in experience since the pandemic started and we had a great time.
Bone Fire Smokehouse Review
After a much longer hike than we anticipated, we were hungry. We found Bone Fire Smokehouse, with award-winning ribs and bbq, nearby. They had a great salad.
A Churro Disaster
Not all of my efforts in the kitchen meet with success.
