El Diablo

The El Diablo cocktail is a marriage between your favorite margarita and the Moscow mule, complemented by a smooth, slightly fruity liqueur called creme de cassis.  Simply, it is smooth, refreshing and has a hint of nuanced sweetness.  Being Texas girls, we are partial to the margarita being the #1 go to, however, this El Diablo has gathered our legit support.  Don't let the name fool you, this drink is…

Oreo Ice Cream Pie

When looking through our grandma's recipe binder, I stumbled upon an ice cream pie recipe.  It happened to be right around my daughter's birthday.  She is not generally huge on cakes or desserts, but she's in love with Oreo cookies. …

Mamie Martine’s French Crêpes

What do you get when your sister marries a Frenchman? Homemade French crêpes with every visit!  Without him there, it is not quite the same. But making crêpes is a family tradition we are so grateful to be adopted into.  Beth’s kids get the honor of making crêpes on a regular basis with their dad (Papa) as well as grandmother (Mamie Martine) when she visits from France.  It is a…

Butt Bun Potato Rolls

These tasty butt bun potato rolls are the perfect addition to any family feast or celebration.  These rolls affectionately received their name from my son, who was making them with Grandma.  Originally intended to be a clover shape, these rolls were formed by three balls of dough.  When you have only two remaining balls of dough, the shape is less clover and more…..well that is how the Butt Bun got…
