Jalapeño Jelly and Candied Jalapeños
By Kelly Bogard A Texan menu for the holiday season is not your typical Christmas fair. Don't get me wrong. We all still love our green bean casserole and cornbread dressing. But we reserve those foods for Thanksgiving. At Christmas, we eat Mexican food. From fajitas to tamales, there is [...]
Peppermint Cupcakes
By Kelly Bogard It's funny how the time of year can make you want certain flavors. I noticed that I have a flavor for every season. For spring, I like something bright such as lemon. And during the summer, I go for a classic vanilla flavor like in ice cream. In [...]
Texas Chili
By Kelly Bogard Chili is great for chilly weather. And with the North winds beginning to blow, it looks like I'll be making a lot of it soon! There are a few different kinds of chili, though. There's white chili with chicken and cream. There's chili with beans. Chili without beans. [...]

Peanut Butter Cups

Apple Nachos
By Kelly Bogard Are you ready for the trick-or-treaters next week? I have the candy ready. But I also need a good dinner and a sweet snack so my kiddo can make it through the exciting evening! Apples are a great way to get that sweet flavor in a healthy [...]
Pretzel Bites
By Kelly Bogard Sometimes you just have to snack. Maybe you have friends over and don't want to make a big meal. It's a busy day, and you don't have time to stop. Or possibly you're at an event that has snacks at the ready. Snacking is pretty common this [...]
Dr Pepper Pulled Pork Sliders

Sweet Roasted Pumpkin
By Kelly Bogard Fall is here! After a crazy hot summer, we're all ready for cooler temperatures. And although they aren't here just yet, there are other signs of fall popping up everywhere.
