What We Ate #3
Here is our week in review (#3) I have goals. I really, really do. Thursday – leftover wings from Buffalo Wild Wings … they were ‘ok’ reheated in the oven but certainly better than saying HEY let’s go get something to eat somewhere, anywhere but home!

Indulgent Coffee Brownies
This recipe closely follows Ina Garten’s Outrageous Brownies with a few tweaks. The brownies are best chilled in the fridge overnight before indulging, as they are rich and indulgent. The recipe yields a large batch, so freezing some for future enjoyment is recommended. The process is not quick, but the homemade, flavorful result is worth…

Naked Crispy Chicken Wings
Yup, sauceless, nothing but seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder) and baked to deliciousness! Yup, baked. Not fried. At all. You probably saw the Crispy Lemon Chicken Wings I posted recently. These are pretty much the same thing EXCEPT no lemon or garlic is involved. We both had a little stomach bug for a…

For YEARS, Taco Tuesday was a huge thing in our household, back when we had the kids and then even after they left! There would be tacos with all the fixings and chips and salsa as well. And of course, always the margaritas. That would most likely be why friends would come over on Tuesdays…
