Lately I’ve become obsessed with Lasagna. Which is weird for me. Growing up, it was one of the few dishes that my nanny did not make well, so much so that it turned me off of it completely. I t...
Raise your hand if you love mangoes, but they’ve always intimidated you! Up until a few weeks ago, I would have raised my hand. Every time I’ve had mango in a restaurant, I’ve loved...

This past Saturday, a few other bloggers and myself put on the central New Jersey chapter of the Share Our Strength Great American Bake Sale. What is the Great American Bake Sale, you ask? Well, it a...
James and I are huge fans of brinner. This hybrid of breakfast and dinner, brinner typically means we’re having bacon and eggs or breakfast tacos around 8 p.m. One of the highlights of brinner ...
Flash freezing is one of those things that, once you know how to do it, you’re going to do it with everything. And you’re probably going to want to go out and buy a bigger freezer. I know...
I’m guest posting over at Good. Food. Stories. today, telling you all about my favorite San Antonio institution, Jim’s Restaurant! How could you not love a restaurant with it’s own ...
In March, James and I began the 1800 mile trek back to New Jersey from Texas. Knowing that our little road trip would need to occur right around the same time as James’s 30th birthday, we knew ...
Today I’m guest posting for Jamie over at My Baking Addiction. I’m totally smitten with these Raspberry Peach Marshmallow Squares – that’s literally almost all of my favorite ...
I never cease to think of how blessed I am to have fallen head over heels in love with Green Mountain Coffee. Little did I know when we bought our Keurig back in 2007 that before long I would have a ...
Even if you’ve only read a post or two here on Bluebonnets & Brownies, I’m pretty sure it’s come across clearly that I am a coffee addict. But let me clarify: I am great coffee ...

Remember the other week when I made those crazy good strawberry scones? Well, I managed to find the same brand of strawberries here on the East Coast, and they were just as flavorful. When my Souther...
It’s my favorite day again: Fritos Friday! I swear, I will eventually move away from pushing Fritos into candy and dessert applications, but right now, I’m really having fun with it. Frit...
Easter in our family has always meant a day spent together with good food, card games, and Easter egg hunts. We’re not an overly religious family, so any religious holiday has typically been sp...
A while back, I happened upon an NPR sponsored radio show, Hidden Kitchens: Texas, narrated by Willie Nelson. Listening to talk radio is not normally my thing, but I was intrigued by the description:...
There are few soups more comforting to me than savory, flavorful Baked Onion Soup. I think the first time I had it I was 5 or 6, and it was at this restaurant-bar-club spot called Gallagher’s. ...
I’m not much one for pressuring other people in the grocery store about what to buy. Over the years, I’ve become more informed about where my food comes from, and that leads me to make ch...
