Those hams are just huge and there's no way you can get through a whole hock unless you have your entire extended family over.

In case you just can't stomach another plate of reheated ham with mashed potatoes and green beans, make these sliders! Panini-Style Ham and Cheese Sliders are soft little buns filled with marinated artichokes, ham, provolone, and topped with a delicious mixture of herbs and olive oil. So easy and SO delish!

What could be more Texan than tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs? This recipe for oven baked ribs is so simple and comes out perfect every time!

You know that funny little saying... "I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could"? Ha! I definitely feel like that was the case for me! I was born in Italy, as many of you know, but I've been living in the north Dallas area since I was 10 years old. At this point I couldn't imagine living anywhere else! When Ozarka Spring Water asked me to share some things I love about Texas (and maybe a Texan recipe, too), I couldn't resist. Today, I'm sharing my mom's classic, flavorful, fall-off-the-bone Oven Baked Ribs!

We got wings at work seriously like... 3 months ago, and I have been wanting to recreate them at home ever since!

green pea soup with crispy prosciutto

Feb 17, 2016 · 8 Comments

Hello, darlings! Seems like my soup obsession is still alive and well, and honestly I can't stop brainstorming new flavor combinations to whip up 😉 Today's original plan was corn chowder {which, let's be honest, is probably still happening soon}, but as I was digging in the freezer for a bag of corn, I found five bags of frozen peas. WELL. So my plans changed from corn to a creamy, dreamy green pea soup! I decided to get some inspiration from the classic ham and split pea soup, and garnish my soup with some delicious crispy prosciutto. Oh so yum!

Oh, you guys, I'm so excited to be sharing this soup recipe with y'all today! I know I say this like every time I make a recipe, but this might be my new favorite! Chicken mushroom soup with lots of tasty vegetables and a handful of orzo pasta thrown in for good measure. It's kinda like chicken noodle soup, but with the addition of mushrooms, and tiny pasta instead of big egg noodles. But it doesn't matter because honestly it's so stinkin good. The weather has been, in typical Texas fashion, all over the place. Hot one day, cold the next, hot again... my body just doesn't even know how to handle it. This rich and hearty soup is perfect for giving your body an immune boost and sneaking in healthy bone broth and veggies at the same time. Let's get cooking!
