The Texican Burger

Growing up in southeast Texas, when you asked someone if they wanted a carbonated beverage, the conversation went something like this: Me: Do you want a coke? Not me: Yes. Me: What kind? Not me: Dr. Pepper. Everything was a “coke.” But no one I knew actually drank Coke. I mostly now call that drink [...]

Meatball Sub Pizza

I keep a gallon bag of meatballs in the freezer for a quick dinner. It’s one of my “emergency” meals. Don’t feel like cooking? Grab the bag of meatballs and a bag of marinara from the freezer in the garage. If the oven and stovetop could turn themselves on, dinner would cook itself. The preferred [...]

Grapefruit Marinated Fajitas

Most Friday nights, you’ll find us on the back patio, margaritas in hand, listening to the sizzle of fajitas on the grill. And for the 6 weeks out of the year that it’s too cold to grill, you’ll find us at one of our favorite Tex Mex restaurants, trying to talk over the sizzling order [...]

Korean Beef Tacos with Cucumber Slaw

How often do you use your crockpot? A while back, mine actually broke. The safety glass in the lid exploded into eleventy billion perfect little squares that scattered across the kitchen and pantry floor. And none of us were wearing shoes. I wasn’t that sad. Aside from pulled pork and french dip sandwiches, it saw [...]

Grilled Steak Tacos

Tacos are the new sandwich. Have a random assortment of leftovers to depressing to put on a plate? Wrap them up in a tortilla and call it lunch. That’s what I do nearly every weekday. We have taco night once a week. Sometimes twice. It’s our go-to quick dinner when I don’t feel like cooking. [...]
