It’s kind of a long story how me and my little 6 year old daughter decided to make this recipe. Last week as I’m making dinner and baking at the same time, she sits herself on the counter next to me and with a very serious look on her face she asks me, “Mom, how […]
Filet Mignon with Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce, Mash Potatoes, and Onion Strings
If you missed my post about My Valentines Day Scheme, let me quickly get you up to speed. I have always loved Valentines Day!! But my wedding anniversary is Feb. 19th, so we never celebrate V-day cause my anniversary is right around the corner. As a solution, I developed this scheme to surprise my hubby […]
Chocolate-Raspberry Tart with a Gingersnap Crust
I have been meaning to cook more this week, but there has been two problems. 1) Sunday was me and my hubbies 9th wedding anniversary. So I’ve been a little spoiled this last week. Sunday night my amazing mother-in-law took my kiddos, so Sunday night/Monday during the day me and Luke got to spend some […]
Crusted Honey Mustard Chicken
Since I’m gonna be MIA tomorrow and Saturday for my race, I wanted to quickly add this post. This recipe is super yummy and I love the fact that it’s low calorie. I feel like it’s always so hard to find good alternatives to just plane baked chicken. And to top it off, it’s also […]
Homemade Caramel Sauce
I’m back!! Sorry. I guess I needed a little bit more time to recover then I anticipated. My body was not happy with me after this race. Thought I trained adequately for it, but I needed to do a lot more hill training. Saturday, my whole body was getting so tight every time I would […]
Caramel Chocolate Trifle
Kind of a late post today, but you know… Life happens. I wanted to quickly get this recipe on today, since it feels like forever since we did the “What Dessert Would You Like To See Next” vote. And obviously this dessert won out of the 5. I’m still going to have to make the […]
Cheese and Chicken Shells
Happy Monday!! I know what your thinking, “Monday”… Blah!! I agree. I have a thousand and one things that I have put off all weekend to get to, but I’m trying to be optimistic. Especially cause the girls in my family, and a couple old friends, are going on a girls trip this weekend!! Which […]
Sticky Pecan Upside-Down Baby Cakes
Kind of a fun recipe today!! This is suppose to be a dessert, but I think we can also count it as a breakfast. Hey, if people eat donuts and monkey bread for breakfast, then I get to call this a breakfast food too. Plus, these little cakes actually have kind of a breakfast taste […]
Jambalaya with Shrimp and Andouille Sausage
Finally home!! It was such a fun weekend, but man oh man, it was so nice to sleep in late this morning and to sleep in my own bed last night! We didn’t get called up in The Price is Right 🙁 but it was still a super fun experience being in the audience. Here […]
Smoky Chicken Cacciatore
I don’t know if I told you all this yet, but me and my hubby just celebrated our 9 year anniversary Feb. 19th. When we got married everyone told us not to go a honeymoon and to just save our money, so we did and since have always regretted not taking that chance to go […]
