Sometimes you get tired of the same old same old, and by that, I mean your cooking in your kitchen at the casa. Am I right? I am the chef in my household, and I use that term lightly, especially during the summer a girl gets tired of cooking. I want to eat out every now and then, but that gets old too sometimes. We're never happy. lol

I like to eat. I'm a healthy Latina and I love my food, especially what I grew up eating... Mexican food! I will always say homemade, momma's cooking is hands down the best but I will never be able to recreate what she did. The food I grew up eating is by far the best. We all think that about momma's cooking right?

Why do many of us hate to be scared but love a good ghost story? It's me. I'm the problem it's me. I can honestly say I have not watched a scary movie in years, it's just not my thing. When you grew up with two older brothers who loved nothing more than to scare you any chance they got, you tend to end up being the biggest chicken on the face of the earth. But I do have somewhat of a ghost story t

Tell me you're from Texas without telling me you're from Texas. I love this phrase, you have no idea how much. I came across a TikTok video recently where a gentleman posted that particular phrase and then proceeded to show us how we can tell he is a Texas by how he dressed up to go out.

IYKYK-Barbecue is HUGE in Texas. Like if you don't eat it once a week are you even a Texan? I don't know how many times I have tried to decide with my family, what are we going to eat for such and such meal? At the very least, once a week, someone will say, 'mmm, brisket sounds good!' And there we go, off to find some barbecue. However, it has to be said, you have to travel for some really good ba

I don't get it, I don't understand it, I will never be about that life, but not everyone is like me. Some folks are thrill-seekers and I simply live through them. I hear their stories, take their word for it, and vow, per usual never to visit any place that may be haunted, like ever. If you happen to be one of these ghost adventurers or hunters, then this list is definitely for you!

It's a Texas thing, you wouldn't understand...how many times have we uttered that phrase to friends, family, or acquaintances that have never been to our great state? Thanks to the movies, non-Texans think we ride horses to work, we all wear cowboy hats and boots and we all live on farms and raise animals. lol

Several big-name department stores have begun to shut down in cities across the nation, including here locally.

Why did I not know this until recently? I got my license when I was 16, literally....well never mind it doesn't matter how many years ago it was but the point is no one ever bothered to tell me over the years that if I did this on my license, I could be breaking the law!

It's surprising when people aren’t aware of the celebrities from their hometowns. I wanted to see who represented my communities of Midland and Odessa Texas. I was impressed at all of the names and their accomplishments. So much so, I wanted to pass my newfound knowledge along to you.

Neighbors. Gotta love 'em. There have been many a movie made about neighbors, good, bad, scary, the whole nine. According to a survey, 57% of people say they know some of the people in their neighborhood, while only 26% say they know most everyone in the neighborhood. I would say I am proudly part of the 57% but actually having interacted with them all is another story. lol

Is it that time of year again already? Cold weather food season! I mean I am fully aware that you can eat what you want when you want at any time of year but this time of year, when fall arrives, in 5 days, these foods I speak of just hit different. Caldo, chili, chicken soup, menudo, tamales. Soups of any kind are a must this time of year!
