Sunday my husband decided at 3:30pm to tell me, “Hey, I’m gonna invite everyone over for dinner.” Panic!! That means I have 2 hours to clean my house and get something made, and not to mention that I hadn’t been to the grocery store in about a week. So, my cupboards were pretty bare. In […]

Chocolate-Hazelnut Macaroons
First of all, I want to applaud anyone who has successfully made macaroons! It took me three attempts to actually get these things made, and would like to say third times a charm, but I still had issues. Only half of my cookies came out like they should. And the other half came out like […]
Apricot Scones
Saturday mornings breakfast!! I made this recipe this morning. I love apricots so I was super excited to try these, and they didn’t disappoint. The filling allows the scone to have a really warm and moist center while the outside still stays really crisp. The outside is warm and almost flaky while the inside stays […]
Beef Stew
I absolutely love this recipe! It is by for the best beef stew I’ve ever had. One thing I would have to recommend when you make it though. Use watered down beef broth instead of just water. It gives the stew so much more flavor, and it comes out a little thicker. Also, if you […]
Black Forest Cupcakes
So, I know I just posted cupcakes yesterday, but I was having a serious case of the mondays and needed a chocolate fix. Although, I didn’t really feel like making a whole cake, so I made the recipe into cupcakes. This recipe turned out so yummy, but I had to alter a lot of stuff […]
Sausage and Pepper Skewers
Since I ate three of those stinking cupcakes yesterday, I needed to make something for dinner that was somewhat low in calorie and weight friendly. So I decided on these. And I love how super simple they are. Cut up your veggies and your chicken sausage put them on a stick, then throw them on […]
Chicken Tandoori
I love this recipe! Totally not your traditional chicken dinner. This meal offers a complete food indulgence experience. How this recipe holds up under all of the flavors, I do not know! It is spicy, and at the same time refreshing. Warm and at the same time cool. It has so much going on, but […]
Strawberry Coconut Cake
So, I am just gonna be honest, I am kind of bummed out about this post. My mom is having a big easter party today, and she asked me to make this super yummy recipe of hers. I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me when I was at the grocery store to get […]
Snickerdoodles
So, this Easter weekend was so fun, but ugh, it kept me so so so busy. So I will post some of my Easter stuff tomorrow, cause I’m off to the zoo, but here is a fun recipe to tie you over. I made these for my mom the other day cause it’s her recipe, […]
Raspberry Truffle Brownies – Easter Party
