I would say that these yummy treats began popping up during the pandemic. Maybe we were all so bored at home, we began experimenting with cooking, baking and ways to keep our children and families happy and entertained.

Every town has a good ghost story. Specifically, small towns here in our West Texas area and my little hometown of Andrews, Texas are no different. I remember growing up, I would hear little tales here and there about a place called Shafter Lake. I knew that it was somewhere outside of Andrews, and little Rebecca vowed to go there one day, 'maybe when I get older' I said.

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?

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.

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

Since it is almost Halloween, all things scary and spooky are welcome right? Well for me that's a hard no because I don't like to be scared but for you thrill-seekers and horror flick lovers, this one is for you. I have to say my mind was blown when I discovered just the other day that some of the most iconic scary movies ever made were based on actual true events/stories.

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!

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

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.

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.
