Those limes were originally destined for pico de gallo, or salsa, or something with a southwestern flair. I don’t know how they wound up [...]

Texas, ya’ll! Cattle…Cowboys…Cheerleaders…Sheet cake! Sheet cake? That’s right, sheet cake!

Pecan Pie. Cheesecake. Pecan pie and cheesecake together. Oh, my. Who could resist that?

I think anyone who regularly visits this space understands that I am just an average, all-American kind of cook. I tend to make recipes that are pretty easy, pretty familiar, and most of all tasty.
