Christmas time and It definitely feels like it. Nice and chilly outside and I’m not mad about it. Comfy cozy snuggled up in a heated blanket with a cup of hot chocolate and a Christmas movie with a simmer pot brewing is my fave this time of year on low.

We are soaking up the last bit of Summer here in the Dumas house. But I have to tell you, this HEAT in Texas has been brutual and offensive. OMG! WOW!
If you are spending time outside at all you better be sure to hydrate yourself. This heat is not playing.
Heading to a pool day, Beach day or road trip, take these Juice boxes with you. I made these myself.
I thought it was such a cool idea. I will link all of the items at the end of this blog post.

As we were planning out our last trip, I was researching food spots and was shocked to see that there was a new Louisiana style restaurant that just opened in Downtown Disney. This restaurant Jazz Kitchen Coastal Grill and Patio. Offering a modern, upscale twist to Creole dishes. This restaurant is serving up Louisiana classics that are elevated! This restaurant stays true to what New Orleans cuisine is all about. Ralph Brennan is the driving force behind this amazing restaurant right in the heart of downtown Disney.
Ralph Brennan is known for many restaurants but most importantly Brennan’s in New Orleans. He has been a driving force in the culinary world for years and years. It’s no surprise that this restaurant is so well done. It’s like being whisk away to French quarter New Orleans as you walk into the courtyard of the restaurant. From the jazz music to the smiling faces welcoming you in, you feel like you’re in New Orleans.

A few weeks ago my teen traveled away for a leadership conference with her school. While she was away
she texted me mom please make me a good meal for when I return. I had already planned to do this,but
it was nice hearing from asking me to. Good to know that my kids love my food. But they are spoiled 😂😂 I whipped up this yummy Fried chicken taco bowl topped with spiral Alfredo pasta.
Finished with fresh Parmesan and herbs.
Chicken Parmesan is one of my favorite Italian dishes. This is my go to when we dine at Italian Restaurants. I picked up this new sauce by Mezzetta called Truffle, Porcini & Cream which was how this new recipe idea came about for dinner. This sauce is so delicious and was the perfect choice for my Turkey Parmesan Sandwich.
I replaced the chicken with Turkey breast instead of the chicken breast. A great choice. So delicious.
In addition to this new sauce, Smoked mozzarella was superb on this sandwich.

Oh Friday am I happy to see you. It’s been a crazy week and I’m looking forward to relaxing and enjoying my Biscoff Eggnog.
An easy way to spruce up a basic Eggnog. This Eggnog that I grabbed didn’t have any nutmeg kind of weird if I must say myself. But I didn’t realize it until I began to prepare it. No worries. I added a few simple ingredients to make a delicious Eggnog treat.
