I am totally diggin on this whole menu of heart shaped plates for the silly fact that my children will try anything that is molded into a heart. When I presented this to my girls, my older quickly dug in – my little one hesitated “How cute, it’s a little orange heart,” I said and that’s all it took. I wonder if I can keep this going all year? Well I am very lucky to live here in the Rio Grande Valley where the citrus is plentiful. I live down the road from a small grove and the smell is just heavenly. We have enjoyed fresh squeezed… Read More
Chocolate Strawberry Waffle Ball on a Stick
Okay people – first I just want to say that I only made four of these one for each of us to taste. Why? moderation and insanity- yes I knowing I could inhale a dozen of these all while making me insane of guilt and pleasure. Has your chocolate covered strawberry ever fallen into waffle batter then fried itself quickly only to be dusted with confectioner sugar? Well mine did and baby it was LOVE, yes sweet love that only The State Fair in Dallas Texas could invent. These won last year’s Big Tex Choice Award and I totally agree in one bite you get the sweetness from the strawberry the ooziness from… Read More
Strawberry Avocado Salsa
Well darlings we have made it to dinner using my beloved strawberries. Oh ya that’s strawberries in salsa don’t worry this is not a heat version of salsa it’s more of a sweet and creamy. You get a dash of sweet from the strawberries and the creamy sidenote from the avocado.

Beef and Cabbage Stir-Fry with Peanut Sauce
Lately all I wait for is lunchtime, is that weird? A new semester has started for us again so we have quickly become rattled with buying books (why are they so expensive???) attending classes and reading- reading- reading. I am lucky- this semester all my classes are online, which works out perfectly for me. Hubby attends night classes giving us lunchtime to catch up with each other’s day. At first he suggested we meet somewhere and grab a bite to eat? Are you crazy? Seriously look at me I’m like the Mexican version of Nigella? Really wouldn’t you rather snuggle together on the couch and feed… Read More
Chewy Toffee Almond Bars
Last week I went out to run a few errands, I in no way shape or form wanted to leave my house. I get into those funks sometimes, when all I want to do is be at home. But given the fact that if I did not leave my house to pay my bills, I might not have running water- which would make any form of cooking impossible. I also had to stop by the grocery store to pick up a few items for mealtime. So I motivated myself with the promise of toffee bars, yes if I ran all my errands and stopped… Read More
