Mixed Seafood Pasta
I love an easy seafood pasta in the summer! This one showcases summer flavors with an abundance of fresh garden tomatoes, basil, and oregano plus a bit of garlic and wine for the sauce. So simple!

2016 Wrap Up
2016 was a big year! I traveled to Disneyland, New Orleans, Glen Rose, and Turks and Caicos, I hosted three major parties (The Rose Table en Blanc, a Masquerade Party, and a Mistletoe and Holly Affair), and I sold my home in my beloved Fort Worth and moved to a small lake town just outside…
Steamed Mussels with Fresh Tomatoes and Parmesan
Breaking news: this is my new favorite dish to make! I know you’re not supposed to play with your food, but mussels play back and I found it positively delightful. All in all this dish took about 15 minutes to make and, while I have no problem paying for quality food, the whole dish cost all…
