Blackberry Sun Tea
By Kelly Bogard You know something that most Texans love? Iced tea. And do you know why we love iced tea? Because in the summer, it gets stinkin' hot here. As the mercury continues to rise this summer, we have to have a good way cool off. Over the last [...]
Back to Basics: Coleslaw
By Kelly Bogard Being a self-described foodie comes with great responsibility. I get asked all kinds of questions about recipes. How do I make this? Where can I find this ingredient? What can I substitute for this if I don't have it at home? And the list goes on... My [...]
What we need is a little truth in advertising
By Jessica Domel I pride myself in not being the type of person who becomes wrapped up in some of the drama that comes with being actively involved on social media outlets on a daily basis, but last week I found myself entranced with a series of posts on Twitter [...]
Refrigerator Pickles
By Kelly Bogard A few years ago, my mom was having a tea party with several friends from church. Yes, a real English tea party, including hats and cucumber sandwiches. I believe these Pineapple Party Sandwiches were there, too. The ladies all had a lovely time and, as they were cleaning [...]

Fiesta Corn Dip
By Kelly Bogard I bet you have a few go-to recipes for a party, right? Well I do, too. And with the Fourth of July holiday being in the middle of the week, I wanted to make sure that the recipes I fix are quick, easy and, most of all, don't [...]
