  • The Dinner Club: Chilli Con Carne and Chili Con Queso

    The Dinner Club: Chilli Con Carne and Chili Con Queso

    The last time I did a Tex Mex dinner party I made a Chilli Con Carne and Chilli Con Queso combination, and it was indeed a very good dish to have.  I wasn’t blown away by the Carne, but the Queso was delish.  This time, I decided to bring back the Queso, while putting…

  • The Dinner Club: Taco Salad

    The Dinner Club: Taco Salad

    For the recent Dinner Club meet, I wanted to balance out all the cheesy goodness with some semblance of a veggie dish.  It also has to be something that isn’t so “healthy” it ends up just being ignored the entire night.  So I ended up with this taco salad, which turned out to be a hearty,…

  • The Dinner Club: Turkey Ham Breadsticks

    The Dinner Club: Turkey Ham Breadsticks

    This wasn’t originally on the menu for our first Dinner Club meet scheduled for tomorrow.  But I was digging through my freezer and found some turkey ham and, since breadsticks usually get included in pizza meal sets, I decided to make these as well. They keep well for a couple of days, so I…
