LongHorn Steaksgiving Meal Recipe
LongHorn Steakhouse recently invited me to participate in their first Annual Virtual Steaksgiving event, where I was able to draw inspiration for my own dish by trying their fall-inspired menu and speaking with Executive Chef Michael Senich for a little guidance. Here’s the recipe with pics for the menu I came up with. Hope you like it!
Steaksgiving with LongHorn Steakhouse
Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away and thanks to LongHorn Steakhouse, I’ve been getting into the spirit of things a little early.

Blogger Roundup
One of the reasons I began blogging, other than wanting a creative outlet, was the inspiration I felt from the amazing women who were doing it so well. These women have been around for years, paving their own path and sharing their own creative passions with their readers, something that propelled me to share my own voice. I’m now sharing them with you, hoping to spread a little love and light.
Guilty Pleasure TV
TV is a very personal thing for me. I was an only child well into my teen years, so in place of having siblings to entertain me, I had reliable, entertaining, always-on-schedule TV. It made me laugh. It taught me about the Facts of Life. It even provided the first object of my pre-teen affection (Johnny Depp on 21 Jump Street – no surprise there!). By the time I’d met my husband, I’d probably had more meaningful relationships with TV characters than I’d had with friends. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I was pretty much raised by TV (with a very hardworking Abuela in the background, of course).
