Italian Sausage, Peppers, & Onions Tacos
I am no longer the head chef in my kitchen anymore. No, I have been demoted to Sous Chef. Our sweet yellow lab, Rosie, has taken over as head chef. Rosie takes food very seriously. She loves food. She lives for food; and supervises my cooking while laying on the kitchen floor. She does not…
Creamy Tomatillo Jalapeno Ranch Dip
To say Texas has lots of Tex-Mex restaurants would be a huge understatement. We have one on almost every corner. Each one has its own specialty.
