Here’s the thing about me and oatmeal. I never liked it growing up, mostly because I thought it looked like a big bowl of hot mush. I could never get past the idea of Little Miss Muffett on her tuffett with a bowl of mush and before you know it oatmeal was inextricably linked to spiders in my mind and it became inedible. Luckily I grew up a little, learned to kill my own spiders, and started making some really amazing oatmeal recipes....

Most of you have gathered by now that my family is a big fan of Mexican-inspired meals. We use Mexican spices constantly and eat some version of southwest Tex-Mex or Mexican food a few times a week. Very much like the Slow Cooked Chili Steak Fajitas I posted last year, these fajitas are full of heat and packed with that southwestern flavor I crave. The liquids in the base of the crock-pot form a fantastic sauce by the end of the cooking time....
A long time ago (20 years ago) I used to be a flight attendant and back them knowing the names and concoctions of cocktails was a must for my profession. While I loved making them for passengers I also developed a few tricks of my own. I loved exploring new drinks and creating new combinations. Christmas is almost here and I’m ready for my drink. There are two drinks I love around Christmas time – one is my eggnogs which I make in many flavors and the other is this margarita....

Also, let’s not forget the health risks, such as obesity, cancer, and diabetes, associated with potato chips....

Soooooo kitchen remodels. Not so fun, yeah? Have I mentioned that I grew up with a general contractor for a dad? He’s 110% completely awesome at what he does. The epitome of a perfectionist and the definition of old school refinement on and off the job. All of that being said, it might surprise you to know that he is not involved in our kitchen remodel. I’ve come to realize it’s apparently kind of a thing in the service industry....

About ten years ago, I found myself with a huge harvest of hard neck garlic and no possible way to use it all before it began sprouting. I love garlic and cooking with garlic but even so, I knew I needed to figure out how to preserve garlic. While I’ve canned fruits and vegetables before, I’d never thought to try preserving garlic. My brother Miles visited us last week and was kind enough to spend a couple of hours showing me how to can it....
