Butternut Squash Risotto

Butternut Squash Risotto
It’s the coldest it’s been all year, but I refuse to turn on the heat.  Had Tony still been alive the heat would have been on since about September 1 – even if we had day time temps in the 70s.  Right now the house is at 55 degrees, but I have a sweater on, fuzzy socks and a hot cup of coffee so I...

Mini Falafel

Mini Falafel
This is going to be a very disjointed post, so just be prepared I am blogging late because I slept in until the last dog was hung before having to get my ass out of bed to Weight Watchers, which I haven’t been to in the last three weeks.  My eats and schedule have been all over the map, and I am realizing that I...

Rudy’s Copycat BBQ Sauce

Rudy’s Copycat BBQ Sauce
Rudy’s Copycat BBQ Sauce Recipe This Rudy’s Copycat BBQ Sauce is thanks to my friend Katie at Chaos in the Kitchen – so good!   My husband and I never could agree on a BBQ sauce, until Rudy’s BBQ in Texas.  Sadly, we don’t live close to one, so we had to make our own, and this one is so close to the original!  ...
