Summer Recipes Collab: Elote

August 2, 2022

  There isn’t much of summer left, but there is still time to enjoy it! The weather was perfect over the weekend, so my husband and I woke up early and went to the farmer’s market downtown. We ended up buying different types of garlic, a dozen ears of corn, tomatoes, and hot banana peppers. We decided to have a low key Saturday at home and grill out while enjoying the evening eating on our patio. We decided to make California burritos and elote, as well as mangonadas and margaritas to drink while we waited for the meat to marinate….

Seven Layer Bars

November 23, 2021

This particular dessert is very nostalgic for me. It makes me think of times past, and my childhood. I didn’t do much baking or cooking growing up, but this was one of the desserts that I remember making. It is just one of those things that has stuck with me. These are super easy to make and you can change out the ingredients to your liking. For example, you could substitute the peanut butter chips for butterscotch, or the pecans for almonds. I can’t vouch for how that will taste, because I’ve only made them according to the following recipe….

Dave’s Spicy Chili Recipe

November 12, 2021

It’s that time of the year again where the weather is getting cold, so soup or chili is the perfect dish to warm you up. Chili is one of those things that is super unique, as in everyone has their own recipe. Everyone puts their own spin on it. Some people are on team noodles and others are on team beans, while some might include both. My husband, however, includes neither. He is originally from Los Angeles, so his version of chili, is more of a Southwestern style chili, instead of the chilis that are typically found in the Midwest…

The New Era of the Lexington Legends

December 17, 2020

If you follow MLB and have been paying attention, you would know that last year in November 2019, MLB made an announcement that 43 minor league teams would potentially be cut under Major League’s Baseball proposal to restructure the Minor League system. Unfortunately, the Lexington Legends were one of the teams on the list to be eliminated. This was in part due to the restructuring MLB did to their minor league system. Since hearing the news in 2019, I immediately was worried about what was going to happen to our beloved Lexington Legends. The Lexington Legends are going to celebrate…
