I had been wanting to make dessert sliders after seeing them in a Rachael Ray magazine a year or so ago. I was planning on making a variation of hers (she used vanilla wafers & fudge) for our recent cookout, and then I came across Bakerella's post using cupcakes and brownies to make them. I knew I had hit the jackpot. These were such a hit at the cookout. People were even taking pictures … Read More
I've been wanting to make this chicken for months. I found it on Sweet Tea in Texas and thought it looked and sounded so delicious. She paired this with mango rice, but I opted to do couscous since I am like addicted to it lately. I actually used a boxed couscous mix that had pine nuts in it and then added in the mango along with an herb mixture. I also halved the recipe since I just used … Read More
So, we went to Disney about six weeks ago. Yes I know I'm behind, but I took so many pictures and we've been so busy that it was just last week that I got them on my computer. I won't bore you with all the many pictures I took of every little thing we did, even though we had a blast! But I thought I would share some of the dining highlights. Disney has some great food, and we also ate at some … Read More
Adam has been out of town frequently, so I hadn't cooked in like a week and a half until last night. Not that I haven't been eating at home, it's just been sandwiches and the like. So, I wanted to cook dinner since Adam was going to be home, but I was struggling with what to make. I had starred this recipe from Stephanie Cooks a long time ago in my google reader, and kept meaning to make it, … Read More
I had seen these cookies in my google reader and knew I had everything on hand to make them, so I thought they would be great to take to a potluck picnic that we went to on Monday night. These turned out so great. They were so soft and chewy. If you love butterscotch, you are going to love these. I found these on Good Thymes & Good Food and she got the recipe from Family Circle Magazine. … Read More
Some friends of ours recently had a cookout and one couple made these wonderful berry cheesecake parfaits. I knew I had to try them! She had found them in the Spring Food & Family magazine. I made them this past weekend when my mom, stepdad, & brother came over for dinner. These were so good! I loved the creaminess of the pudding mixture combined with the crunch of the vanilla wafers … Read More
One of my favorite blogs to read is the Fitnessista. She has so many good tips for healthy eating and living and just seems like such a fun person. I always get excited when I see her posts pop up in my google reader. For a while, she has mentioned eating a breakfast cookie and just talked about how much she loved them, so I finally decided to try it. It is a wonderful, delicious, and healthy … Read More
When I saw these mini buffalo chicken sandwiches on Pennies on a Platter, I thought they were super cute! On Memorial Day, I knew I just wanted to take it easy and hang out with Adam, so I planned to make these for a quick and easy dinner. These were really good and would also be perfect for a party. I halved this recipe since it was just me & Adam, but the full recipe is … Read More
I also made these s'mores brownies for our party. I found them on Joy the Baker. These brownies are out of this world! Perfect for a summer treat when you don't have a campfire nearby. These are so decadent and I love the little crunch from the graham crackers. They are fudgy, which is my favorite kind of brownie. Be sure and have your glass of milk ready. S'mores Brownies Source: … Read More
I also made some desserts for our gathering, and while not completely mexican, these still said party! I found these Cherry Limeade Cupcakes on Annie's Eats, but since I'm not super crazy about cherry in my desserts, I decided to use strawberry in the icing instead. The icing is from Culinary Concoctions by Peabody. These turned out so refreshing, delicious and super moist. The hint of … Read More
