I’m no expert on green chile, but I have come to love it so much since moving to New Mexico 10 years ago. So when I met up with my 400ish colleagues in Utah for our annual company gathering, I decided green chile would be a great topic for my 4 minute flash talk. It’s required that we all present…

When I leave on a work trip I often plan a menu for the family for the days that I’m gone. Not because they aren’t capable of figuring out what to eat on their own, they most definitely are, but we are a team and with one player gone everything gets a tiny bit harder so if thinking…

For fixings we used onions, ham, bacon, asparagus,…

I’ve never enjoyed baking. And really, I can live without most sweets. But on occasion it’s fun to make breakfast muffins. Since today is Christmas Eve, I’m going to count that as Christmas baking. Now, my son loves to bake and he happened to wake up early enough this Christmas Eve day to get in…

My oldest son had the idea to grill bacon tonight. It worked pretty well, but we decided to use thick cut bacon next time. Super pretty though, don’t you think?
