Well, it’s the last day of our National **Un-Official** Dip Week. Sad day, or at least it would be if I weren’t so excited about today’s recipe!! This mango salsa is SO good! It goes great with tortilla chips, cinnamon chips or as a topping for chicken, fish, and more. Served with tortilla chips this is a perfect snack- little sweet, little […]
Today’s recipe goes right along with this year’s National **Un-Official** Chip Dip theme – Guacamole! Now, I’m not going to lie, until this year I have never been a fan of the stuff. I guess somewhere along the way I had some at a restaurant where they didn’t know what they were doing and decided I wasn’t a fan. Sadly, […]
Day 2 of our National “Un-Official” Dip week! To go with yesterday’s delicious queso, today we’ve got some fresh pico de gallo! These two dips should always be made and enjoyed together! They are both so good and together, they remind me of the good ol’ days. Sitting around a table at a mexican restaurant drinking a half gallon of sweet tea, […]
Some of you may remember a week before Thanksgiving all I could think about was cheese dip. I really wanted to share this recipe then but I did good and I stayed on topic with holiday goodies. Now that the holidays are over and National **Un-Official** Dip Week is here I can’t wait to share it with you as promised! Once you try this cheese dip […]
Did you know that there is a National Pancake Week? How about National Oatmeal Month or Cheese Doodle Day? It’s true. Apparently there is a food (or several) recognized nationally for just about every single month, week and day of the year. Crazy right?! Yeah I still can’t wrap my brain around it.. you could start an entire blog just about observing […]
This is the bark that started it all! Well, my love for barks at least. 😉 I call it Christmas Bark because I found it at Christmas time and I usually make it at Christmas. It also has the red from the cranberries and green from the pistachios so it seemed fitting and easier to say than Cranberry, Pistachio, Dark […]
This recipe may be the greatest discovery of all time. It’s only 2 ingredients, can be made in 5 minutes and keeps for up to 3 weeks. Seriously! Oh and did I mention it’s fantastic!! I stumbled upon this last year when I was looking for homemade Christmas goodies to make for gifts and everyone always loves it. Cookies and […]
Wow! A week away from Christmas, already? If you are like me you probably have a busy week ahead with lots of places to go and things to do, most of which probably require bringing a little dessert or snack. What to bring, what to bring? It needs to be quick, easy and taste delicious! I went to my first Christmas […]
It’s beginning to smell a lot like Christmas.. Not exactly how the song goes but fitting for today’s post. I love the smell of Christmas! Sweet, Citrus-y, Cinnamon-y, warm goodness that just makes you want to snuggle up to a book by the fire. Although I’m not really a book or fire person but you know what I mean. This week […]
Cookies and Cocoa- these two holiday staples go hand in hand so today you get not one but TWO delicious recipes and gift ideas! Now, there’s only 1 catch.. neither are exactly “health” food but it’s Christmas, it’s ok to splurge a little right? Hot Cocoa Mix Ingredients 3 cups nonfat dry milk powder 2 cups powdered sugar 1 1/2 cups […]
The first time I ever had asparagus was at a Thanksgiving meal with friends several years ago. How I managed to avoid it for so many years before that is still a mystery. Also a mystery is why I just assumed my first bite would be the last. I can’t believe I missed out on it for so many years!! […]
Have you ever been excited for a get together with family or friends just to find out that they’ve got you down to bring bread? Ugh. So uncreative.. I mean there is only so much you can do with bread- right? Well.. maybe.. but this year you can make it fun and festive with these cute little Turkey Biscuits! When […]
Here we are just over a week away from Thanksgiving and all I can think about is cheese dip.. holiday-ish, right? I actually started a post on cheese dip yesterday, unfortunately having a sick toddler got in the way of that. Hopefully you’ll forgive me for not posting, I did post a little yummy treat for my facebook fans out there. Today […]
Have you ever started to make something and thought “This is either going to be out of this world or it’s going to be an epic fail”. No? Hmmm.. I find myself thinking that way to often, especially when I’m trying new recipes. Yesterday was no exception. The pancakes I made for breakfast.. epic fail! But dinner.. dinner was fantastic! Seriously, […]
Back in my college age days I got my first apartment with a friend. She and I lived there together, each loving to cook but both VERY bad at it. It was humorous the meals we came up with and the meals we burnt! Pizza and Pizza Rolls were about as advanced as we got. After several months we were blessed with […]
