Texas Chicken Chili

I haven't made this recipe in a very long while.  Honestly, I forgot all about it.  I found the original recipe, Arizona Chicken Chili, off the back of a can of corn, many, many years ago.  But seeing how I don't live in Arizona, I live in Texas.  I'm calling my version, Texas Chicken [...]

My family likes eating at Chipotle Mexican Grill when we are shopping around Dallas. We don’t have one in our small town. So, when I get a hankering for a Chipotle burrito, I just make up my own version.

Here’s what [...]

Scrambled Eggs in the Microwave

My favorite time saving appliance is the microwave. At one time, all I ever used it for was reheating my coffee and warming up leftovers. Then, I had more time to spend at the stove. That was a time when hand washing dishes was more energy efficient than running a dishwasher. [...]
