Ugh!! So frustrated! Yesterdays recipe totally sucked!! And this one was kind of a dud as well. Not completely horrible, but just ok. This was my attempt at trying to pick something somewhat healthy, and I’m wishing that I would have just gone ahead and made traditional fried chicken. A couple things, don’t “spritz” the […]

Strawberry Mousse Tart
I just got a new dessert cook book and am totally excited!! Most of the desserts are pastries, which is one of my main interests. Something I’m not very experienced in baking, but one of my all time dreams is to go travel around Paris and spend like a whole week doing nothing but sampling […]
Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies
Back to school!! Today was my kiddos first day of school, and it is kind of a tradition that on the first day I sent them with homemade cookies and a little note that says “Have a great day!!” So for today I wanted something for them and me since I totally needed a chocolate […]
Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Cupcakes
I’m helping out with a friends baby shower today, and I’m in charge of bringing the desserts. Yay! So I wanted to do some kind of cheesecake since I feel like cheesecake is kind of a dressier dessert then say just a normal cupcake. Plus, for some reason I am in a Oreo phase. I’ve […]
Chicken and Black Bean Green Enchilada Rice Bake
In my opinion there are two types of people, those who eat to live, and those who live to eat. I probably am the second of the two. Oh let just face it, I am most definitely the type that lives to eat. It seems like my whole life revolves around what I get to […]
Chocolate-Frosted Peanut Butter Cookie Bars
I saw this recipe on a blog I follow and I had to try them! And they are amazing!! These bars are a super moist peanut butter and oatmeal cookie base with a super delicious chocolate frosting. Seriously, if you like peanut butter and chocolate together you gotta try these!! I would recommend using chunky […]
Grilled Italian T-Bone Steaks with Tuscan Beans
It’s about time for something other then chicken, and since I really don’t cook fish, how can you go wrong with steak. If you were to ask me my ideal dinner, above anything else, I would say steak and potatoes. I guess this is attributed to the fact that my dad raises cattle, so almost […]
Caramel Cake Cupcakes with Caramel Spice Frosting
Last week I finished the book The Help and throughout the whole book it kept talking about caramel cake. It got me really curious, so I started looking into recipes. I am not a huge fan of large cakes though, and since I couldn’t find a cupcake recipe I really liked, I figured that I would just […]
Frosted Cookie Brownies
Oh my gosh!! Really? Chocolate chip cookie, brownie, and chocolate frosting!! This recipe had my mouth watering just looking at the picture in my cookbook. So of course it made it to my, “Must Bake” list 🙂 Here’s a close up of the ooey-gooey layer just to entice you a little 😉 I think […]
Breaded Herbed Chicken Fingers
This was so good!! I was a little skeptical because I have never cooked with tarragon before, and when I opened it, it smells exactly like black licorice. I happen not to be a fan of black licorice, so I got nerves about that. Plus, one of the things that interested me the most about […]
