Cooking, Eating, Living My Sweet Life in Texas
Yesterday I spent the entire day deleting pictures of food. Funny how they add up. I ran across this salad from Chuls’s Bday party that I meant to post, but somehow that post got sidetracked. So in the spirit of Spring Cleaning my computer, why not go ahead and post this colorful salad.

Warm tortillas dipped into a creamy bean sauce, topped with a spicy salsa and a sprinkle of cheese. A quick dinner idea, perfect for a crowd with the added bonus of affordability.
My little sister sent me this small paragraph in an email four years ago. International Waffle Day March 25 Originated in Sweden where it is called Vaffeldagen. It occurs nine months to the day before Christmas – the day the Archangel Gabriel told the Virgin Mary that she was pregnant. As the holiday progressed, it also began to commemorate the first day of Spring. Waffle come into play because on March 25th the women of Sweden would set aside their winter tasks like chopping wood and knitting and began their spring task…the most notable which was preparing waffles.
Spring is here, let’s celebrate!! Enjoy ! !
Welcome to our St. Patrick’s celebration!! Last year I was graciously invited to participate in a St. Paddy’s Food Parade hosted by The Daily Spud. A new year! A new tasty parade!
Plans have been made, travel arrangements and delicious dining destinations have been chosen. We are heading to Poteet, Texas. The first weekend of April we will enjoy our first Strawberry Festival as a family. My little sister’s family, my parents and our bunch will be making the trip together. In planning for the trip memories of our visit to Blanco, Texas for the The Lavender Festival only fueled my excitement even more. So in honor of our upcoming trip I bring you a recipe from their local cookbook, Lavender Brownies with Lavender Chocolate Ganache.
