Recently I needed a dish to take to a potluck cookout and I was at a loss as to what to make. I wanted to make something healthier and something I hadn't made before. Then it dawned on me that I should make hummus. I have been wanting to make it from scratch for forever, but hadn't ever gotten around to it. This would be the perfect occasion. I immediately turned to one of my go-to sources, … Read More
Sorry for the small lapse in posting...heat exhaustion can really take it out of you! It is no fun, so please stay hydrated if you live in the south in this super hot & humid weather we're having! I made these veggies to go along with our Memorial Day meal and they always turn out so delicious. My uncle is an amazing cook & made these for our family several years ago and I've been … Read More
So in keeping with our grilled...umm...roasted theme...I made this "grilled" creamed corn from Rachael Ray to go along with our grilled chicken legs. I roasted my corn in the oven instead of grilling again because of the rain, and also because that's our favorite way to make corn! This takes a bit of prep just because you have to roast the corn for about 30 to 40 minutes, then cut it off the … Read More
For Memorial Day Weekend I wanted to make sure I cooked some great dishes for Adam & I to eat to celebrate our four year anniversary. We had planned a relaxing weekend of lounging by the pool and cooking at home, just the two of us. When I'm at the pool, I love to read magazines. I have a slight magazine addiction:) While perusing the latest Rachael Ray, I came across her spread on … Read More
OH MY WORD!! That is all I can say. These cupcakes are amazing and easily my new favorites. I think I might make them for myself for my birthday later this month even!:) If you have a party coming up or a cookout you need to make these. Seriously that good! I made these for our Sunday School social on Memorial Day & they were a big hit. They were also really fun to make and festive for … Read More
We have a new pizza place in town and we love it! They have such a wide variety of toppings to choose from to create your own pizza masterpiece. Plus they have whole wheat crust, which I love. We get the spinach, tomato and artichoke pizza and I wanted to try and re-create that at home to save a little "dough" (sorry I couldn't help myself with the pun!) It turned out so delicious. I … Read More
In keeping with the tropical vibe, I decided to make this tropical fruity chicken salad. My mom had made if for me last month and she had gotten the recipe from a friend. I am not normally a fan of fruited chicken salad, but this one was so amazing! So simple, but so delicious! It would be great for an appetizer, bridal shower, or afternoon tea as well. And don't think this is too dainty and … Read More
That name is a mouthful! But I didn't want to leave any of the key ingredients out so you would get the essence of how delicious this bread is. I was dreaming of getting away to a tropical destination last week and I also had sunday school snacks this past Sunday, so I decided to make some tropical bread. I made this on my freezer day and then just got it out the day before I wanted to serve … Read More
Yes, I'm still riding the mexican wave. I just can't get enough of those flavors! I saw this a while back on Daily Deliciousness and thought it sounded, well, delicious! I did add a couple things to it and I halved the recipe. Go to the link above for the original and my adaptation is below. This chicken was fabulous! Shawna used hers to make soft tacos, but I opted for a crispy quesadilla. … Read More
I had last Friday off and I decided I would work ahead a bit to make meals easier during the week. I wanted to make some things I could put in the freezer and pull out the morning I need them to put together dinner quickly that night. So I decided to make a double batch of whole wheat pizza dough, homemade marinara sauce, baked chicken that I shredded to use in quesadillas, chicken salad, … Read More
