Adam & I love to eat at Outback. Well, most of the time we get it to go and bring it home to eat, but still we love it. My favorite is their Filet Foccacia sandwich with sweet potato fries, which I dip in Honey Mustard. So delicious! We also especially love their salad and are completely head over heels for their ranch dressing. The other day when I was brainstorming what to make for … Read More
Apparently I was in a mexican/tex-mex mood last week! I had this pizza for dinner Thursday night, tacos Friday and went to one of my favorite mexican/tex-mex restaurants, Don Pablo's on Sunday! I absolutely love mexican food. I really love to make it at home more than eat it out because I can control the ingredients and it's so much fresher tasting to me and not so heavy. I do love Don … Read More
One of my favorite blogging friend's, Krystal of Mrs. Regueiro's Plate is expecting! She and I met on the Cooking forum on The Nest several years ago when I had just started blogging and became fast friends. She is such a sweetheart and is always so encouraging and thoughtful! I jumped at the chance when asked to participate in a Virtual Baby Shower for her and her "Cookie" that she is … Read More
I'm so sorry I've been holding out on you with these cookies. I made these all the way back on Valentine's Day. I just had a few other things I wanted to share with you and I can't believe these got by the wayside. I was wanting something a bit more special than just a cookie for Valentine's and this was the perfect solution. They had that cookie flavor but it was punched up a bit. Next … Read More
Hope you all had a great weekend! Did anyone do anything exciting?

Simply go here and click on the "Get Macaroni and Cheesecake by email" link and … Read More
I was watching Live with Kelly (it's so hard for me not to say Regis & Kelly!) on the DVR last week and I got SUPER excited when I saw Sophie and Katherine from the TLC show, DC Cupcakes. That is one my favorite shows and I just love the dynamic between the two sisters. I've haven't gotten the chance to try one of their cupcakes in person, but when Kelly announced the recipe would be on … Read More
I love the blue box Macaroni and Cheese. I know it's a terrible thing, but it has been my favorite food ever since I can remember. When I didn't feel good, my mom would make me mac & cheese. It's so creamy and comforting. I've been on the search for a homemade version that will give the same texture and flavor as the blue box, but of course is better for you because you know what's … Read More
Happy Valentine's Day! I'm not big into Valentine's, I'm more in the camp of let's celebrate love all year with special surprises. That being said, I don't dislike valentine's, we just don't usually go all out. We usually will make a nice dinner and stay in, though last year we got takeout and it was so nice to not have to worry with dishes, so we are going to do the same this year. I … Read More
So, I just have to be honest. I really love the casseroles with cream of whatever soup. I mean my mouth waters over my mom's broccoli casserole and chicken casserole. However, I know that I don't really know what ingredients are in that can and if you sit and think about it, it can creep a girl out to think of the processed food that's in it. So why not try to make your own at home?!? This … Read More
I worked a youth retreat this past weekend and I always like to bake something for the kids that they will really enjoy so when I saw these, they went immediately on the list. We had such a great time learning about the Lord, singing, eating lots of yummy food and playing "Ninja." Has anyone ever played that? It's so fun! Also, I should mention the cookie dough filling does not have any eggs … Read More
