Here we are, back with another soup. Get ready for these, because my outlook on the soup from last week, the Chicken Taco and Black Bean Soup was a huge success. Not only was it delicious and easy, but it was very nutritious AND a perfect convenience food. All I had to do was scoopRead More
Caramel Macchiato Cupcakes
I love the sound of this name…caramel macchiato. Sounds elegant and delicious. I’ve heard people mention this in a way that just makes it sound yummy…maybe it’s just the tone in their voices because they love it so much. Either way, I had to try it…and was quite impressed myself. When it comes to making cupcakesRead More
Cherry Cobbler
Ahh, yes…another cobbler. Peach will actually be the next flavor, and my husband is super excited about it. My parents came in town to visit, so I wanted to make this while they were here, since they love cherries. They were my guinea pigs, and seemed pretty happy about it. In fact, both of myRead More
Chicken Taco and Black Bean Soup
When it comes to soups, I’m somewhat picky. I prefer cream based soups, but sometimes they aren’t always that healthy. This recipe though…is VERY healthy. High protein, high fiber, and low fat? Yes!! Believe it or not, I try to eat healthy foods on a regular basis so I can still indulge every once inRead More
Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes
Okay, I’ll admit it…I’m a HUGE fan of potatoes. Fried, baked, sauteed, mashed, scalloped…love ’em. Almost feel like I’m starting to sound like Bubba from Forrest Gump when he’s talking about shrimp. That’s me, but with potatoes. For several years, I’ve only made the scalloped potatoes from the box, but as the progression has movedRead More
Corn and Green Bean Casserole
Several years ago, I went over to my brother’s house for a family gathering. Growing up, I was very much of a picky eater and wouldn’t go anywhere near a casserole. Too many things going on with casseroles. Well, this particular one opened doors for me that I never thought possible. My sister-in-law made thisRead More
Ham Delights
These are by far one of my favorite appetizers…EVER. While going over a menu list for our wedding several years ago, I saw these on the list. I hadn’t heard of them before, so I asked the caterer exactly what they were. She described them as little hot sandwiches with a creamy spread, ham andRead More
Minnie Mouse Birthday Party
For my daughter’s birthday party this year, I decided to go with a Minnie Mouse theme. She gets so excited to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, so the theme seemed quite appropriate. I had an idea of what I wanted to do as far as decorative desserts, but I found myself going a little off inRead More
Double Peanut Butter Brownies
Well, if you’re a true peanut butter addict, look no further. Stop what you’re doing, go to the store and get the ingredients for these bad boys, because they are ridiculously peanut buttery and perfect. The first time I made these was several years ago. One of my friends doesn’t like chocolate…GASP (I know, it freaked meRead More
White Almond Cake with Bavarian Cream Filling and White Truffle Icing
Oh wow, I think I just gained 5 pounds from reading the title of this cake out loud…add another five pounds to that from looking at the pictures, and maybe a few more on top for eating a big slice of this rich yumminess. Yep, fat and happy now! It’s so worth it. I can’tRead More
