Every time I check out of the grocery store with broccoli the cashier asks me, Oh, you’re having a party? We like our broccoli like we like our kids – in abundance. Especially when it’s served like this – here’s the recipe as presented to my 4 year old (minus my commentary, which is in the parentheses): Continue reading
RACK Recipe: Dump (Crab) Cake
You know those popular and delicious dump cakes where you glop a can of pie filling over a box of cake mix, then pour butter over the whole thing and call it a day?

I’ll Admit It: Something’s Wrong Here
I thought it would be fun to start a “search and find” series. I was inspired while taking a shot of Margaret and Adam playing Pictionary nicely together on the couch this morning. At second glance, I spotted something that didn’t quite look right in my photo and thought to myself, I wonder how many other people would notice this. Can you find it? 
This Week In Texas
“This Week In Texas” will attempt to demonstrate an experience we had via photo slideshows. Up first is another rodeo, this time in Galveston. Honestly, the Houston rodeo was a billion times bigger and snazzier, but I really liked the size (and cost) of this more local version.
