Adventures in appetizers.

Cheese.  All of my lovebugs are fans of it.  I am not.  That doesn't mean that I'm not willing to try new recipes with copious amounts of cheese, like, mozzarella sticks for example.  If we are out to dinner, it's the most commonly ordered appetizer for our family.  It's expensive but it's a treat.  It's worth it, I guess?

Thanks to Pinterest, I found a mozzarella stick recipe that is both easy to put together and easy on the pocketbook.

I found the recipe here: Big Bears Wife: Panko Mozzarella Sticks

I followed the recipe without making any changes or adjustments.  I'm almost always tweaking recipes to my own/my family's taste.  It was perfect in its original form.  Mine did not turn out as beautifully, but, they were edible and that's what counts.  My lovebugs devoured them rather quickly.

The verdict is that I would make them again.  The prep work was minimal and the taste was delicious.

Re-vampin'

Three years ago, I started this blog with the intention to share recipes that I have tried and love. It started off sparse.  The recipes and posts were few and far between.  Life became complicated.  Our family grew.  We moved across the ocean.

I became angry about our new stomping ground.  Until two weeks ago.  I had a new outlook.  I could be happy and enjoy the time that we spend here, or, I could be miserable and let life just pass on by without stopping to care at all.

I am choosing to enjoy this adventure.  I will embrace the culinary offerings that South Texas has waiting for me to try.  I will make new food.  I will revamp "old" food.  I will share my culinary successes.  I will share my culinary fails.  The good.  The bad.  All of it.

I need a new name for the blog.  And, possibly a new address.  Time for change.  Change is good.

Stay tuned for the adventures!
