Last weekend, we threw a Tapas Party for a few friends. They might think it was because we wanted to see them. In reality, we just wanted an excuse to cook good food. Over the next few posts, we'll talk about all the tapas we made. The biggest difficulty with throwing a Tapas party is coordination. We made around 7 tapas and they all needed to...

I hate beer. No wait, I absolutely loathe beer. My contempt of beer knows no bounds. I don't like fruit beer. I don't like hazelnut beer. I don't like chocolate beer. However, when I see a dish made with beer, I am instantly intrigued. I don't know why. It makes zero sense to me too. Kind of like how I'm addicted to cherry coke, but can't...

I'm not having a good week this week in the kitchen. One day after burning my right middle finger in the oven making Amaretto Apple Fritter Muffins, I managed to burn my left middle finger by bumping it into the hot crockpot while making the chili in this post. To help the situation, my eyes were watering from all of the onion I was chopping and...

Baking was a really bad hobby for me to get into. I love anything that involves creating a batter. Because I like to eat "anything" batter. Even when it contains raw eggs and it should straight into the oven, not my mouth. The batter to make these muffins is good. I would know. I ate enough of it. I bookmarked this recipe when we had an...

While Dustin and I often venture out and experiment with new entrees at restaurants, I feel like when it comes to appetizers, we order the same things over and over again, particularly at Italian restaurants. We always seem to order the caprese or tomato salad, something made with entirely too much mozzarella, or bruschetta. We just really the...

Until recently I was never much of an oatmeal person, and when I did eat oatmeal it was always the instant microwave kind. I honestly just preferred cold cereal most of the time. The flavor choices always seem more interesting (i.e. more sugary for me) when I walked down the aisle in the grocery store, and most of the time when I ate oatmeal, it...

We need a more concise name for this dish. It should flow out of the mouth more easily— as easily as it goes down the hatch. We already had the perfect side dish and a damn good margarita, so now we just needed an idea for our main course. I know Dustin loves green chiles with a passion, and I have been craving them for some time now, but they...

In addition to Boudro's, the other gem of the Riverwalk in San Antonio is Las Canarias. They have great food, but what we're here to discuss is their perfect margarita— without a doubt the best margarita you will ever consume. Apparently they don't even make the bartender enter the contest for Best Margarita in San Antonio anymore because they...

Hands down, the best guacamole we've ever had comes from Boudro's on the Riverwalk in San Antonio. Most of the Riverwalk is a giant tourist trap, but there are a few gems for which it's worth a once San Antonio native like Dustin venturing out among the throngs of people. Boudro's guacamole alone is enough to pay the outrageous parking prices...

Snickerdoodles are a simple and versatile cookie that you can take from a favorite, year-round treat, to a more unique seasonal treat by the addition of some pumpkin. I thought the addition of pumpkin would pair nicely with the cinnamon sugar coating of snickerdoodles. I'm not going to lie— I also liked the idea of combining the word pumpkin...
