Fish Tacos

Fish Tacos are one of my favorite meals.  When my man, Dan brought home some fresh snapper fillets last weekend I seasoned them, threw them on the grill and presto!  Fresh fish tacos.  It doesn’t get better than this.  Luckily I had the ingredients to make the pico and chipotle mayo.  Fresh, healthy and perfect for a late spring dinner al fresco.

This time of year often finds us sipping cocktails or a chilled glass of chardonnay on the back porch, taking in the view of rolling pasture land, 

In My Kitchen

Well 2013 is flying past me – I must have blinked one too many times.  I enjoy participating in Cecilia’s “In My Kitchen” posts at Fig Jam and Lime Cordial.  Somehow I let February, and March slip through my buttered fingers and here we are way into April. Before it’s too late I wanted to share a couple of items “In My Kitchen”.

It’s interesting and part of the fun of blogging to take a peek into each others kitchens.  All of us, food bloggers, have well stocked kitchens.  Some big and fancy, some tight and efficient.  

Pacific Beach Peanut Butter

I am excited to be bringing you this review on Pacific Beach Peanut Butter.  A few weeks ago I received an email from the folks at PB-PB inquiring if I would be interested in trying their organic peanut butter and writing a blog post about it.  In exchange for a review they would send me three jars to taste.

Glazed Lemon Cookies

I love the flavor of citrus, lemon, lime, and orange.  This will not come as breaking news to those of you who know me personally or have been reading my blog for any length of time.  This recipe is one I found on Pinterest.  How many of you are hooked on Pinterest?  I wouldn’t say I’m hooked

Faux Mac & Cheese

I’ve been finding all sorts of positives in my life of late, sans the Mr.  The obvious positive is, he’s been shooting furniture out-of-state for a well-known retailer for 5 weeks now.  Bringin’ home the bacon = good.  Another less important but equally positive aspect is the ease of making the bed each morning.  Basically with only me hunkered down

Honey Lemon Bee Cake

This cake is without a doubt the cutest cake I’ve ever made.  I’ve taken my sweet time baking in this adorable pan that Miss T gave me at Christmas.  Time has been eaten up with my job, traveling and general day-to-day “stuff”.  

Crispy Kale Chips

Have you heard of these?  Kale chips.  A few weeks ago when I visited LuLu in Austin she offered a bowl of crispy kale chips for snacking.  Interestingly a few days later at a friend’s home on Lake Austin a bowl of crispy, crunchy kale chips was on the counter to munch with our afternoon cocktails.  

Magic Bars

How many of you remember Magic Cookie Bars from waaaay back when?  In the past – waaaay back when, I made these delicious, gooey bars quite often, but I can’t remember the last time I made them.  That was until I stumbled across the recipe in my Loveless Cafe Desserts Cookbook.

A Better Muffin

In the short time I spent in the kitchen these last few days I whipped up these healthy, fruity, tasty muffins.  They are like a ray of sunshine in The Orange Bee kitchen.  Let me share with you why these are so good for you.

First of all they are loaded with those orange beauties we all call carrots.

Banana Pops and Bees

Late this afternoon the sun came out and the day was warm, windy yet warm.  I took a stroll out to see if the bees were out and about and they were.  Some flying around and many just hanging out on their porches.  I decided to remove all the mouse guards to give them more space for coming and going.
