I realize I post a lot about food, but I’m a little obsessed with food and grateful as a whole that I’m not hungry. Further, I’m ridiculously fortnuate that my husband loves to cook and feed us.
Tonight, he made a shrimp bisque that blew. me. away. It was really hard to stop at two bowls. I continue to be amazed by Donovon’s mad cooking skills. Tonight, I’m so grateful for his exquisite shrimp bisque. 
Tex-Mex is a very important food group in Texas. Most Texans have their favorite Tex-Mex restaurants that they argue is the very best. We tend to use varying qualifiers of what makes the best Tex-Mex restuarant — the salsa, the fajitas, the tortillas. For me, if you can’t nail cheese enchiladas, then you may as well not be in the Tex-Mex restaurant business.
Which brings me to the title and subject of this post — Enchiladas Y Mas. Enchiladas Y Mas is my all-time favorite Tex-Mex restaurant. In my humble opinion, they have hands-down the best cheese enchiladas ever, not to mention their beef and chicken fajitas. Donovon and I have been going their for over 20 years, so place holds a certain sentamentality above their yummy food.
Today I’m grateful for my favorite Tex-Mex restauarent, Enchiladas Y Mas, and their ridiculously delicious cheese enchiladas. 
Although I do love the catchy tunes of the American pop group, I’m referring to the black eyed peas of traditional New Year’s Day Southern fare.
Donovon will typically try a new recipe for our good luck staple and this year he has outdone himself. Tonight he made “Black-eyed Pea and Sausage Soup” from his favorite cookbook that I bought him years ago in Louisiana. This soup is insanely good – hearty, flavorful, and full of soul.
I hope it brings the good luck intended by eating it, but I count myself lucky just for the meal in and of itself. I’m so grateful for Donovon’s black eyed pea soup!!
I ventured into cooking today with homemade mac and cheese. Cooking and me are not the best of friends. So I’m thankful that I didn’t burn my dish and it was edible. Definitely a work in progress, but a small win nonetheless!
On nights when Donovon doesn’t feel like cooking I’m so thankful that there’s a P. Terry’s close by. Mama’s “cooking” tonight!
After a long day of travel to corporate headquarters in St. Pete and straight meetings soon after arrival, my colleagues and I were treated to a delicious gourmet French dinner at Cafe Ponte.
After an amuse-bouche and calamari, I actually had room for the special – panko-crusted hog fish with fingerling potatoes and smoked Gouda mac & cheese. Oh. My. Word. It was all so extraordinarily tasty. I’m so grateful for such a delectable meal after a very long day.
