DFW Mama

This Friday begins a tasty weekend of fun, food, music, and even more food! In its 20th year, Taste Addison is May 18-20 at Addison Circle Park. While the first word, “food,” can give you an idea of what you can do there, especially with more than 60 restaurants with hundreds of different things to [...]

It’s time moms take our Mother’s Day into our own hands.  How about we do something we might actually enjoy like getting out of the house doing something fun AND delicious. This weekend, May 12 & 13, just in time for Mother’s Day, DFW has several food adventures along with some much needed free time. [...]

For DFW foodies, May is slated to be like the World Series of eating and drinking; with several days committed to enjoy your favorite players or root on the rookies. So get out your big jeans as we take a look at the lineup. And just like any good Rangers game you’re going to have to decide [...]

Two weeks ago, Chick-fil-A announced there would be a change to their dessert menu.  They would no longer carry the lemon pie or the nutty brownie.  Instead they would offer a chocolate chunk cookie, brownie (sans nuts), small sundae, cookie sundae, and brownie sundae.  All this along with their milkshakes.  I was very bummed about [...]

Are you are wondering what to do with leftovers now that your big holiday meal is over ? Check out these leftover ham recipes!   Ham and Cheese Ziti makes a  wonderfully easy dinner that my kids liked so much, I had to make it twice last year. It is so simple to make, and [...]

  With the temperature rising, it’s hard to resist a lunch outing at Plano’s Chocolate Angel (cute name, right?). Growing up with two sisters and with books/ movies based on Anne of Green Gables, this is my ultimate (yet very affordable) tea room. As the name implies, Chocolate Angel is femininely decorated and a great venue for get togethers [...]

Last Easter, I decided to try something a new twist on Easter dinner. I made an amazing recipe from Simple and Delicious:  Baked Ham with Honey-Chipotle Glaze. It was relatively simple to make and gave the ham a sweet flavor with a little bit of a bite. The glaze wasn’t too spicy for my kids [...]

I might be letting my rabbit out of the box, but I had to share my very favorite Easter treat secret! In a small town in Louisiana there is a candy company that makes the best Easter candy, Elmer’s Candy Corporation. My personal favorite is the Gold Brick Egg–a yummy concoction of chocolate and pecans [...]

I’d never heard of the King Cake growing up in California, but I knew I had to sample this colorful concoction since it’s available at nearly every grocery store.  I chuckled to myself and went as far as sharing a picture of the cake’s warning, “Caution! Non-Edible Baby Inside this Cake” to my Facebook wall. [...]

  This cupcake bakery is awesome! Though I’d only been there a handful of times with my family of four, each time I visit, I’ve never been disappointed with Sprinkles’ service or quality of cupcakes. Yes, they’re pricey (their first cupcake bakery opened in upscale Beverly Hills). But, if you want a taste of ah-mazing cupcakes, [...]
