“Wings” made from cauliflower are pretty popular around Super Bowl time to replace the non-version wings that are served up at all the parties. I’m a couple of months late for the Super Bowl, so maybe these can be Easter wings??? In my opinion, cauliflower wings are perfect any time of the year, including these buffalo cauliflower bites. They have just the right amount of tang and spiciness. They are also very filling, which causes a quandary because they are so delicious it is hard to stop eating them! Check out my brand new recipe video below for these tasty little bites ๐Ÿ’ƒ

Since everyone is social distancing and staying home to avoid contracting and spreading COVID-19, now is a great time to get creative in the kitchen and spend more time cooking, baking, and eating yummy homemade food.

Personally, I’ve been craving desserts, which is kind of unusual for me, but with so much time on my hands I’ve been surrendering to my sweet tooth by making cookies, apple pie, and this brownie recipe I discovered! It’s incredibly easy and makes delicious, moist brownies. Of course, I couldn’t stop there. I love a good chocolate and peanut butter combo, so I decided to try my hand at making peanut butter frosting for the first time ever. The result? Well, see the video below – it stars the brownies, my rescue dog Stella, and the musical talents of my boyfriend!

Our ancestors depended upon seeds, and we still depend upon them today. A 2014 documentary called Open Sesame explores the story of seeds and our connection to them. I watched the film and decided to share my favorite takeaways from it, and how you can make a difference in sustaining the seeds that sustain us!

In March 2019, I took a mini road trip to visit the Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto in Rio Grande City, as well as the historic downtown district of Roma, both located in the southern tip of Texas at the border of Mexico. I had passed through Rio Grande City once before but never been to Roma. Both are known for their historic buildings, their rich histories that include the Civil War, as well as the Grotto and Roma’s scenic overlook of the Rio Grande River. So, despite the sweltering March weather of South Texas, I grabbed my camera and decided to check it out.

So, I tried to make baked tostones, but I sliced them too thin and didn’t mash them, so I ended up with plantain chips! Still delicious, but very different from the original tostones. Plantains look like bananas and are in the same family, but do not contain as much sugar and are not eaten raw like bananas. When cooked, however, they are delicious! These plantain chips are crunchy, slightly browned, with a thin coat of olive oil and salt, and go great with guacamole!!
