This is a perfect side dish that comes together quickly! Using ready-made steamer packs cuts out most of the dishes too! The only dish you'll need for these Pancetta Green Beans is one 12-inch sauté pan!

My Rustic Texas Farmhouse
My Rustic Texas Farmhouse Introduction
Hi everyone! I'd like to introduce you to my new spin-off series I'm calling My Rustic Texas Farmhouse!
In case you didn't know, The Cake Chica has moved. At the end of last year (2018), my husband got a brand new job in the Austin, Texas area. We moved into a little bit of a fixer upper. Our new-to-us home is about 20 years old and is in need of some updating. It's 2019 so what better way to do it but by letting everyone know about it through my blog.

The Cake Chica's Top 10 Recipes of 2018
What a year! This post comes a little later than I would have normally liked. My husband and I just recently moved to the Austin, TX area and we are just now getting settled in. It's been about two months since I have posted! And I am anxious to get back to it! Oh did I mention I am now blogging full time? Yaasss!!!
Expect to see more from The Cake Chica very soon! And also a little bit of some home renovations as well. We moved into a little bit of a project home so I will be posting a little bit on that in the future.
Let's get to the recipes shall we.

Not only is this meal great for when you're pinching pennies, it makes the perfect comfort food in the colder months.
9. Three Bean Turkey Chili
It is January and if you're looking for recipes to slim down on, this one is it!

Mexican Alphabet Soup with Turkey Meatballs
With fall right around the corner, I wanted to post this comforting Mexican Alphabet Soup with Turkey Meatballs as soon as possible. It's a couple of my favorite childhood meals all in one! Alphabet soup and Fideo!
The way the pasta is cooked is much like the way my grandma makes her Fideo. By frying the noodles, and browning them you are giving the pasta flavor. That toasting process and some simmering time is what gives this soup its wonderful flavor.
