recent eats

Holy moly, I have cooked some good things recently and have not been sharing them with you guys! Instead of writing up too many food posts, I decided to just dump them all here into one post. You guys don’t mind, right? Let’s get started. Back in July, I made some Beef Empanadas for a friend’s birthday [...]

Steak with Mint Chimichurri and Creamed Truffled Swiss Chard

I do still cook new recipes. Really. We have just gotten lazy about taking pictures and my meal planning has gotten a little predictable because life has just gotten so busy. Crock pot tacos, pasta, oven roasted chicken . . . you know, we’re still eating good food, it’s just not exciting enough to share [...]

Grilled Balsamic Skirt Steak with Sauteed Baby Spinach and Tomato-Vidalia-Blue Cheese Salad

Let me start this post out by saying how I am so ready for my tomato plants to start producing! I strongly dislike buying fresh tomatoes at the grocery store. They never really taste as good as I’d like. Thankfully I found some organic ones on sale for this recipe and they were decently tasty. [...]

Caramelized pickled onions, who knew such a thing existed! Arugula, Monterrey jack cheese. Yum yum yum. This is certainly [...]

Simple Beef Enchiladas

Spicy Turkey Paella

So my parents came in town this weekend. And it seems to be a new tradition that my mom brings a turkey with her whenever she comes to visit. Yes. I said a turkey. Like a thanksgiving turkey, cooked in Dallas, driven to Austin and ready to be eaten. Well, it’s a delicious tradition and [...]

Spiced Beef Patties with Couscous

Again on the search for quick and tasty meals, I found this recipe. I pretty much already had everything on hand (still have beef in the freezer, that’s for sure), except for the couscous, which a quick trip to the bulk aisle quickly rectified. If you haven’t tried couscous, it’s an ultra quick version of [...]
