Food, Family & Finds from A Cowboy's Wife
I can’t believe Easter is just around the corner and here in Texas, that means HOT weather is on the way. We’ve already had some warm days so I’ve been on the prowl for easy, cool desserts. I’m sure this Strawberry Mousse is something several of you already know about, but I’ll admit, it’s new… [Continue Reading]
Easter is just around the corner and I’ve been on the prowl for some Easter goodies to make for Truett’s class. I’ve seen these ‘Easter Carrots‘ before but most of them were filled with candy; reese’s pieces, orange jelly beans, orange m&ms, etc. Because there is a little girl in Truett’s class that’s allergic to… [Continue Reading]
Since St. Patrick’s Day is coming around quickly, we’ve been making all sorts recipes; everything from pot of gold treats to shamrock pie. Since the weather is warming up here in Texas, we wanted to cool things down a bit and decided to make this super easy Lime Sherbert Cooler. It’s the easiest thing to… [Continue Reading]
You may also know this shamrock pie as a grasshopper pie but I like shamrock better. The thought of a ‘grasshopper’ pie just doesn’t sound to appealing you know? Anyways, some folks use pudding but I chose ice cream! It’s the easiest recipe ever and looks pretty, leaving your mouth minty fresh! Nothing like St…. [Continue Reading]
Whenever I make desserts, Truett always asks me to make him something special and I really never do. I thought I’d make him his own St. Patrick’s Day special treat; a Pot of Gold. Now I realize this looks like a lot of work but it wasn’t bad at all. And in the end, it… [Continue Reading]
You could easily make these Valentine popcorn bag treats for any occasion but I needed a quick fix for my son’s Valentine’s Day party. I could make a number of things but since one of the little girls in his class is allergic to red dye, I decided to go with a general treat, placed… [Continue Reading]
Well, these Halloween Black Cat Cookies are FAR from perfect but they were definitely a LOT of fun to make! They are a little time consuming but it’s something that you should plan to spend an entire morning or day doing. And I recommend that you make a plan, read all the directions first, and… [Continue Reading]
Oh man, making a car themed cake was more of a task than I thought but I have narrowed my issues down to a couple of things that I’ll get to a little later. Truett turned 5 years old today and all I could think about was when my two oldest were that age…and how… [Continue Reading]
When trying to figure out what food gifts to give this year, I thought I’d make something I usually don’t, which is homemade fudge. I’ve heard horror stories when it comes to fudge so I can see how it can be quite intimidating for some, much like pecan pies tend to do but my recipe… [Continue Reading]
I don’t normally like Pecan Pies because they are too sweet but I find that ones not made with additional sugar, are easier for me to eat. My Grandma made fantastic pecan pies. She never burned the edges and the insides were always settled well. This pecan pie recipe makes 3 pecan pies. I don’t… [Continue Reading]
In my previous video, I made you Healthy Pumpkin Bread. Today, I bring you quite the opposite with Rocky Road Brownies. When it comes to food gift giving during the holidays, so many people give breads and cookies but something we like to give, are brownies served in a dish. I like to find pretty… [Continue Reading]
November marks the part of the season where we give thanks, give gifts, and help those in need. Giving a homemade food gift is one of the most popular ideas because it’s so friendly to your wallet and it comes from the heart. Today, I’m bringing you a healthy alternative to traditional pumpkin bread (found… [Continue Reading]
These don’t have to be only Halloween treats but they does make for a fun one and as you can see, we used Halloween colors and decorations to celebrate the holiday. They are very fun and vibrant. Halloween always seems to be about sweets (and no exceptions here) but at least there are fresh apple… [Continue Reading]
