One of my absolute favorite foods is green chile chicken enchiladas. There are probably millions of versions out there, and I can honestly say that I have never had a version I didn’t like. There is something about the spicy green chile mixed with the corn tortillas, chicken, and cheese… …
Are you a fan of rice krispie treats? I am! Rice krispie treats are not at the top of the treat request list at my house, though. It is something about the “air” quality the puffed rice cereal has that makes them less desirable than other treats. One day a …
Do you ever have just one super ripe banana left? If you can answer yes to this, you have probably also noticed that hardly any recipes that use ripe bananas seem to call for just one. I am pretty sure all of my banana bread recipes call for at least …

Winter hit my city pretty hard this past weekend. I absolutely love the snow and cold, because we don’t seem to get enough of a winter where I live. Snow days have always been few and far between. I am always amazed when I visit my husband’s family during this …
