Nothing quite says summer like a cookout with burgers, potato salad and baked beans, and of course watermelon for dessert. I know there's this stigma about potato salad with mayo, but I promise this isn't your basic run of the mill potato salad. It has great flavor and is very fresh tasting! I love me some potato salad, especially the kind you buy in those little containers from the deli at … Read More
Marshmallow Fluff is heavenly isn't it!? When I was little my mom would make me peanut butter and fluff sandwiches for a special treat and I loved them so. After I made the homemade graham crackers I got to thinking about s'mores and how it would be fun to just use marshmallow fluff instead of the regular marshmallows and then I thought it would be fun to make my own instead of using store … Read More
I was trying to think of something fun to do with the graham crackers when I remembered seeing these on Picky Palate a while back and thought it was the perfect way to use them. I also decided to put marshmallow fluff in them too which made the entire thing AMAZING! I actually made my own fluff, which I will share on Friday so stay tuned for that! This treat was heavenly! It's one of those … Read More

That and red velvet are my two favorite flavors of desserts whether it be cookies, ice cream, cake, etc. But of course I love s'mores in their pure form too and that made me want to try my hand and making some from scratch starting with the graham crackers. These … Read More
When Carrie of Bakeaholic Mama asked me to guest post on her blog with a strawberry treat, I knew I wanted to incorporate cheesecake in some way because Adam is CRAZY for cheesecake. We even had cheesecake as the groom's cake at our wedding. These cookies are a fun spin on traditional cheesecake and perfect for summer because they are sweet, but light & refreshing at the same time. … Read More
I adore baked beans. If there's barbecue or burgers, I want baked beans on the side. I realized I've never made baked beans aside from opening a can of Bush's!;) So I found this recipe and it's semi-homemade as it does start with Pork & Beans, but you could easily soak your beans overnight and cook them and then use this recipe from there. These were fantastic! The beans got a little … Read More
So it's May and we all know what that means! The start of grilling and burger season!! We've already broken in our new grill very nicely. In fact, we grilled last night and accidentally locked ourselves out of the house with the oven on! Yikes! We were sitting out back listening to music and grilling chicken while the fries were cooking inside. I was keeping an eye on the time to go back in … Read More
Have any of you seen 27 Dresses? I just love that movie! It's one of my favorites! Well in one of the scenes Kevin is trying to get Jane to meet him for drinks and he tells her when she doesn't have some "Mojito and Burrito" couples shower to attend to give him a call. Well the other day when I was brainstorming about what I wanted to make this scene popped in my head and I realized I'd … Read More

I've actually posted about this salsa before as a topping for Jerk Chicken & Flank Steak. But then I happened to try it on a chip and it was all over! And as much as I've made this salsa in the past year or so, it definitely deserves it's own post. I will have to say this is Adam's VERY favorite thing that I make and he gets all giddy when I tell him we're having it. It's enough for … Read More
