So I have this theory that there are two different types of dessert people. The people that love desserts with fruit, and those that will tolerate them, but if they had their rathers, they would prefer a good chocolate cake or cookie. I happen to be in the first category. Some of my favorite desserts […]
Banana Bread Muffins
This is kind of a twist on your traditional banana bread. My kids love having banana bread as a snack, but having it in a loaf means every time they want some I have to stop what I’m doing and go cut them off a slice. Which is no big deal once, but when it’s […]
Baked Spaghetti
I feel like spaghetti is everyone’s go to move. You know what I’m talking about, you just got home, have been running around all day. Don’t want to make mac ‘n’ cheese again. So you decide on spaghetti. But, in the back of my mind when I serve spaghetti I always kind of feel like, […]
California Club Sandwich
I have never been a huge fan of clubs, but I figured I’d try this anyway cause it just looks so yummy, and it didn’t disappoint. I think it’s the sour dough bread that make this sandwich so amazing. But all the flavors together were just so so good. I really liked this sandwich too, […]
Island In the Sun Cupcakes
This week I’m going to have 3 beach themed cupcakes on here because I’m making the cupcakes for my sister’s wedding, which is on the beach. This is a vanilla cupcake with orange cream cheese frosting. The cupcake is super yummy, but the cream cheese frosting is what makes this to die for! The sand […]
Greek Pasta Bake
This recipe turned out so super yummy! I would have liked a little more sauce with it, but other then that, loved it! I have to admit, as a cattle ranchers daughter, I was a little apprehensive about the ground lamb. But it actually gave the dish a really unique yummy flavor. There is one […]
Strawberry Banana Protein Shake
I use this as a meal replacement/weight management drink. It’s super nice and quick when you are on the go, and it’s not one of those meal replacement drinks you have to force down. Whenever I make myself one of these, I end up having to make two batches, one for me, and one for […]
Crackle Cookies
I wanted to try a little something different, and this is a cookie recipe that I haven’t tried before. They turn out pretty good. They weren’t the best cookies I’ve ever tried, but they’re chocolate, so in my book, you can never go wrong with chocolate. The only thing I really didn’t like was, the […]
Cranberry Broccoli Salad
This recipe is awesome! It’s a great alternative to give a little interest to your dinner party or barbecue. Or even good enough to have with lunch. It’s a little sweet from the cranberries and the cashews give it a nice crunch. The original recipe calls for bacon, which I left out cause it kind […]
Chicken Kiev
Dinner time!! And just to prove how yummy this dish was, I actually didn’t have to fight my kids to sit down and eat it. Maybe it’s because it has cereal in it, which is my kids favorite meal! But seriously, I think this is a great alternative to fried chicken. I love comfort foods […]
