Ever since we moved to California, I have been completely obsessed with avocados. The avocados in Mississippi were always tiny, expensive, and either rock hard or (most often) completely rotten. The avos here are SO GOOD, so cheap and always perfectly ripe. It’s really dangerous. Like, when you eat 5 a day. Since the avocados…
Slow Cooker Tex-Mex Chicken
It’s Secret Recipe Club time again! This month, I was assigned to Fantastical Sharing of Recipes, a great blog by Sarah, who shares not only her own recipes, but also a good number of recipes from other blogs around the interwebs. Sarah’s got two cute kids and two adorable kitties, and shares lots of great…
Stove-Top Tamale Pie
Is anyone else ready to start listening to Christmas music, or is it just me? I don’t know if it’s because it’s been so chilly lately, or because I’ve gotten about 50 catalogs in the mail in the last few days, or because I’ve officially switched from pumpkin spice to peppermint mocha coffee… but I…

Chile Rellenos Casserole
I’ve mentioed Nick’s love of chile rellenos before, and even made them at home for him! They came out great, but they’re definitely not an easy weeknight dinner. Nick’s aunt thought of us and sent me this recipe for Chile Rellenos Casserole. All the same flavors, but a whole lot less work! A few days…
American Flag 7-Layer Dip

This year, I wanted to make something different. I found lots of sweet suggestions, but wanted to make something other than dessert. Finally I found a flag…
