Pesto Chicken with Roasted TomatoesIt's a cold, dreary and rainy day in Dallas. I work for Dallas Independent School District in Central Staff. (Which means that I'm not on a school campus.) In Texas, education is facing major budget cuts and on Friday we had over 200 people[...] |
Spicy Mushroom ChickenSometimes I come across a blog (or two), like this and this , that make me wish I was a better blogger. And by that, I mean a better writer. Don't get me wrong, I became well versed in writing the blah, blah, blah's during college to make my[...] |
Caribbean Jerk StewMy boyfriend, Stephen, LOVED this stew. He doesn't think about or care that the weather is already too warm for stew down here in Texas. All he cared was that it's spicy and it contained steak. This was originally a ground turkey chili, but[...] |
