Vibrant Cast-Iron Cactus Sugar Cookies
Coming back to the desert called for an awesome brunch spread amongst friends (can’t forget the mimosa bar!) along with big, chewy cactus cookies – a plate full of pricks in vibrant colors. Each guest took one home as a parting gift! I scored a cast-iron cactus mold at the one of the best Goodwill stores…

The No Recipe Zucchini Chip
I’ve been noticing a lot of Zucchini Chip recipes on Pinterest lately. I mean, they are EVERYWHERE. But you don’t need a recipe to make these crispy lil gems. Recipes are for those who color within the lines. Those that lack creativity. The unimaginative. All you really need is a dehydrator. So grab a zucchini (organic,…

Avocado being a HUGE staple in…

Jeff’s Louisiana Spicey Shrimp Boil

Louisiana born and bred (in case you couldn’t tell from the accent), Jeff is just as passionate about his seafood as he is about his dinner guests. After attending countless shrimp and crawfish boils hosted by…

Healthy Little People Snacks: Greek Yogurt Fruit Pops
When I was asked to perform snack duty for my sons class, I jumped at the opportunity to make healthy, creative food. I really try hard to limit the amount of sugar my son consumes. Sugar seems to turn him into a monster of sorts and I don’t want that for me or anyone else.…

Pretzels: Baking the Alphabet
What better way to learn how to spell your name than in pretzels? I think all toddlers and Germans will agree. It is edible playdough. A dream come true for little people. The warm, soft breaded delights are believed to be the world’s oldest snack. Originating from Southern France near 610 A.D., Monks created pretzels…
