Texas Caviar

And we’re back. I wanted to get this recipe up in time for all the July 4th celebrations, if you plan on having or attending one. What can I say about Texas Caviar? Well… Travel back with me to about ten years ago. A good friend from high school and college introduced me to this…

Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

When I make breakfast on weekends, I normally make the same thing: a sort of breakfast hash with potatoes, eggs and sausage. Recipe coming later. Maybe. I’ve been making it for years, and you can imagine we get tired of the same dish for that long! I purchased a new blender on Amazon Prime Day,…
