I feel like sometimes the main dishes hog all the glory, well side dishes are dishes too people!! So today we are only talking about a side dish. A very delicious side dish. One that is a favorite of mine and a soon to be favorite of yours. You’re welcome. Oh what’s that? You didn’t say thank you? Trust me friend, you will. These honey glazed roasted carrots are the jam! Let’s get to roasting.

There are many things I love about being from Texas, but one of my favorites is the food. And while most people think of BBQ, sweet tea, and tex-mex when they think of Texas, (which you absolutely should because all of these are AMAZING,) what people usually forget is the fresh seafood. That’s right. A plus to being in Houston is that we sit on Gulf (the third coast) and all of it’s fresh seafood is ripe for the choosing. So with that we wanted to share another recipe with you that John and I love to make and what we like to call Texas Shrimp Jambalaya!

John and I don’t usually go out for Valentine’s day. This habit started back when we were dating. We both worked at a restaurant and obviously Valentine’s Day was a huge money maker for us, so there was no question that we would always work on Valentine’s and celebrate later. Even though we no longer work at the restaurant, we just never find ourselves fighting the crowds to get a table. I would much rather opt in for a Valentine’s dinner date at home that can be made together, like these sweet & savory crepes!

Have you ever made soup from scratch before? Well until this recipe I was in the “no” category, but January is national soup month so I wanted to give it a try. Picking which soup to do was the hardest part and really I picked this soup recipe, because I wanted to justify to Lindsey as to why I needed these cool spoons lol. They bring a certain level of authenticity to the dish that a normal spoon just couldn’t provide don’t you think? Either way I love this soup and I always end up trading a piece of sushi for Lindz’s soup when we go to our favorite hibachi restaurant, so I was pretty excited to give this simple mushroom onion soup a try.
