Baked Oatmeal with Fresh Peaches

As I’ve posted before, I am not a huge fan of oatmeal. I have come to tolerate it some, but it’s definitely not my favorite. So I thought baked oatmeal would be a nice alternative. After getting some wonderful peaches at a local produce spot, I thought it would be great to add in peaches. […]

Fresh Strawberry Cupcakes w/Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting

These cupcakes are phenomonal! I have had this recipe for at least 4 years and I can’t believe I am just now making them. I am sad I waited this long. They are so moist and fresh and fabulous! The frosting goes perfectly with the lightness of the cupcakes and balances them out to make […]

Orange Julius

Jerk Chicken with Mango Cilantro Relish

I was in the mood for a carribean inspired dish and had come across this recipe on Joelen’s Culinary Adventures. This is the perfect summer dish. Great for the grill and the mango relish adds so much freshness. Adam continued for days going on and on about how good the relish was. He said you […]

Frozen Strawberry Lemonade

I don’t know about where you live, but here in the south it’s been HOT, HOT, HOT! I mean this is the hottest summer I can ever remember. So over the fourth I decided we needed a nice refreshing drink after coming in from the pool. I had seen a spread on frozen fruity drinks […]
