Em’s Texas Chunk Chili

My Texas Chunk Chili delivers quite a sting!  The meek and mild beware.  For all of you tough cowgirls and cowboys out there I still recommend a pint of milk be served along side to help cool down this chili’s effect.

Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa

I know the idea of Kid’s Meal doesn’t automatically invoke thoughts of seafood, but with a mango salsa and avocado, even the pickiest kid will love them. I personally don’t do all the chopping and I just buy fresh mango salsa at...

Oriental Chicken Salad

Crunchy, crisp and slightly nutty.  Difficult to not go back for seconds.  Feel free to substitute blanched, toasted almonds or a 1/4 cup of toasted sesame seeds for the cashews.

“Greek” Chicken Kebabs

Grilled Chicken Sandwich w/Mustard

With so little ingredients, it’s amazing how fully packed with flavors this grilled chicken sandwich is.  I dig the melted cheese oozing over the marinated chicken with toasty bread, sour pickles and grilled onion… goodNess.

Mixed Green Salad w/Country Dressing

A simple salad with crisp romaine, peppery arugula, and green leaf lettuces go well with the slightly sweetened Country Dressing.

Zucchini Alfredo

Skip the carbs of Fettuccine Alfredo and switch out the pasta with zucchini.  A slightly healthier version of this all-time classic creamy dish.

Black & Tan Pork w/Spicy Ale Slaw

Add some pizzaz to your St. Patrick’s Day meal this year. The combination of exotic spices and the ever-traditional stout and ales from across the pond blend deliciously in this pork and slaw combo. Nix the boiled corned beef and cabbage...

Creamy Roasted Broccoli Soup

Perfect soup on a cold winter’s night. A rich and creamy combination of roasted garlic and broccoli paired with a cheese based broth. Be certain to allow time to roast the garlic prior to preparation of this soup.

Turkey Sausage & Arugula Pasta

Using whole-wheat pasta and turkey sausage rather than pork, give this dish a healthier advantage.  Simple and quick to prepare, yet unbelievably flavorsome. Not a fan of arugula?  Try using fresh spinach instead.
