Recipe Testing Update

With all the Hatch chiles available, I just had to try them with some of the recent recipes I’ve posted. You know, just checking to see that they still work as advertised…

Hellishly Good Hot Dogs

Enough with the fancy food already! Let’s talk hot dogs, that versatile (and some could argue, singularly American) toob steak we all love…
Oh yes, we do take our dogs seriously. Where else can you find competitive eating events like Nathan’s on Fourth of July? (We’re big-hearted about this, though; we even let Japanese competitors try.) [...] Read more »

Nashville Paleta Queens Kick Bobby Flay in the Popsicle

As a kid growing up in Texas, we lived on home-make Popsicles. We had no air conditioning, but we did have a freezer and Kool-Aid. (Or at least some knockoff of that sweet beverage.)
Four kids and 100 degree days; we ate those frozen treats like Kirstie Allie stoking up for a stint as a one-woman [...] Read more »
