Texas-Style Sausage Kolaches
What is a kolache? In short - a fluffy, savory pastry that is a breakfast staple in Texas. These came to Texas by Czech immigrants. Traditional Czech Texans know that true kolaches (ko-lah-chees) are sweet, fruit-filled pastries. Technically, sausage/savory pastries are called Klobasnek, but if you order a sausage kolache, this is what you'll get! Quite often, there is also cheese and jalapenos involved and it's the best. I used pickled jalapenos and cheddar cheese - a perfec

Roasted Cauliflower with Spicy Korean Aioli
In the last year, I have fallen in love with roasted cauliflower. One of our favorite restaurants serves it with a garlic aioli and it is delicious. But because of COVID-19, we haven't been able to go and I think I was going through withdrawal. So I took matters into my own hands and decided to make it at home with a little twist. It's no secret that I love anything Asian-inspired, and I love gochujang, a Korean chili paste. It was the perfect addition to this aioli. I get mi

Avocado Cowboy Caviar with Homemade Lime Tortilla Chips
This is one of the easiest snacks you can throw together for a party during the summer. It's even better on the second day, so it's best to make it a day ahead. This give the flavors a chance to meld with the super simple "marinade." Typically, cowboy caviar doesn't have avocado, but I love the extra layer of texture and color it adds (plus, who doesn't love avocado?!) This is a very kid-friendly recipe, so I eliminated some of the spicier ingredients. Instead, this is bright

Easy 1-Hour French Bread
I've been upping my bread game lately, and this is a total home run. From start to finish, it takes no time at all - which is perfect if you're having company or just want the house to smell like fresh bread. Because, after all, is there a better smell?! (no, the answer is no.) Granted, it does take me a little longer than an hour because I have four extra hands helping - but they're the cutest 4 hands! This is actually a really great recipe to have the kiddos help make. It i

Weeknight [Freezer] Meal: Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole
Maybe it's because I grew up in a church that had amazing luncheons and potlucks, but I love a good casserole. They catch a lot of flack about being boring and old school, and maybe they are. But they save us a lot of stress on busy days. I love having a casserole in the freezer, and this is one that freezes really well. Whenever I'm at a loss for what to cook or if it's the day before we go grocery shopping, I'll pull the casserole out of the freezer and POOF! Dinner is read

The Easiest Banana Bread
I'll get to the chase - this is the easiest recipe I think I've ever made. It's perfect for the kiddos to help make, which is a win in my book! So when my oldest asked to make banana bread, I knew the exact recipe we were going to use. This no-fluff recipe works best with bananas that are already brown (or even once-frozen!). It makes the texture perfect and much smoother than if you use ripe bananas. Ingredients: 4 browned bananas 2 Large Eggs 2 cups flour 1 cup sugar 1 cup

Low Carb Zucchini Taco Boats
I like Taco Tuesday just as much as the next person, but I don't always want the tortillas. And while I could absolutely make a taco salad, I prefer warm, cozy dishes in the fall and winter. This recipe can be made with any kind of squash - spaghetti squash or butternut squash especially - but the zucchini has just enough subtle flavoring to not overpower the taco spices. As much as I love using ground beef, I had ground turkey in the freezer and I knew that it would be a gr
