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 [...]

Better Than a Chipotle Burrito!

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. [...]
