Chicken Tostadas with Smokey Cheese Salsa

Still hotter than heck here….I think my car temperature gauge clocked 107 today, 112 in some places.  A lot of people in the Pacific Northwest do not have air conditioning since it is always so pleasant here.  Cooling centers have opened where folks can go to escape the oppressive heat.  I am truly thankful we have air conditioning.  It’s brutal out there. However, even…

Snickerdoodle Muffins

There is a little boy who lives in my home who I fondly refer to as the Snickerdoodle bandit.  It’s his favorite cookie. He could quite possibly be the pickiest eater on this planet but he’ll never pass up a Snickerdoodle.  I bake them up by the dozens.  They all disappear. I told him it was time to start broadening his…
