Pumpkin Spice Latte Crème Brûlée
Is it too soon to post pumpkin recipes? Starbucks released their pumpkin spice lattes a few weeks ago so I'm thinking it's OK. As cliché as they may be, I love Starbucks pumpkin spice lattes. My husband knows this and fully supports my PSL habit (while at the same time making fun of me). He was sweet enough to bring home a pumpkin spice latte for …

Chimichurri Steak and Quinoa Bowls
My kids started school last week so I have been on the hunt for easy flexible meals that will work on nights when we have everyone coming and going and eating at different times.

Vietnamese Coffee Affogato
If I haven't yet adequately professed my love for sweetened condensed milk with this, this, or this recipe, then maybe this recipe for Vietnamese coffee affogato will be the clincher. It takes the classic Italian dessert of vanilla gelato and espresso and adds a Vietnamese spin. I replaced the gelato with a simple, no-churn sweetened condensed milk …

Grilled Chicken Lettuce Wraps with Carrot, Cucumber and Mango Slaw
I started the week with a broken air conditioner and the thought of having to cook, photograph, and write about a hot meal couldn't have been further from my mind. In some areas of the country, having no air conditioning in July is no big deal. However, here in south Texas for a city girl like me, it's a really big deal - a hot, sweaty, generally …
