You and your family will gobble this up I was making a turkey pot pie recently when my hubby came home from work and informed me that there were several turkeys gathered on our front lawn (15 to be exact). I said, “are they protesting?…
Did you know that Pozole means “hominy”? The word pozole, means “hominy”, (a type of corn), and is also a traditional chicken soup or stew from Mexico. We ate Pozole or hominy all the time when I was a kid, but it was just dumped…
Cooking while I’m sleeping OK, I know I’m going to regret this, but I have to give my hubby credit for this. Pepé tried to talk me out of it several times. Then Pepé finally gave up and went have a glass of wine or…
You say tomato, I say tomato! Tomato, tomato… I recently found this video and I just have to share it with you because I think you will enjoy it. It has so many things I like even if it reminds me that I’m older than…
