My dearest friend just had her second baby a week ago and I wanted to take them dinner. I had a dish similar to this once and it came to my mind, so I thought it would be a great dish to make for them. I made this for us earlier in the week to test it out and make sure it turned out good before I made it for them. It was so fabulous! Adam said it had definitely better go on our regular … Read More
I may have mentioned it on here, but back in the fall I was in a baking/cooking/blogging rut where I couldn't figure out what to make and just didn't want to get in the kitchen. I powered through it and kept getting in the kitchen and looking for inspiration and with the holidays and God's help, I quickly came out of it. I had a sort "bloggers cooking block" and I just could not figure out … Read More
I actually made this punch for our Post Christmas Pajama Party and it was a HUGE hit! No one even opened the soft drinks, everyone just drank the punch. This punch is maybe the best punch I have ever had. I kid you not! It had such a great flavor and wasn't too fizzy. So when Holly @ Life as a Lofthouse asked me to participate in a Surprise Virtual Baby Shower for Mandy @ Mandy's Recipe Box, … Read More
I'm not a huge Chinese food person. I like about 3 entrees of chinese: beef & broccoli, lettuce wraps and I absolutely LOVE chicken fried rice! Especially the kind from the mall food court, right?! But it is super greasy and I can't imagine how many calories, so I thought I would try an at home version that I came across. This was really good and gave me that chinese food fix without … Read More
As promised, here are the granola bars that I made with the Applesauce Granola that I posted last week. I always used to love getting the Quaker Chewy Granola bars and the S'mores were always my favorite, so when I came across a recipe for a homemade version I knew I had to try them! These were SO good! Soft and chewy and sweet and they had the perfect S'mores flavor that I loved. The great … Read More
As you may have noticed from my steel cut oatmeal post, I've been trying to find some alternative breakfast items to break out of my mundane cereal routine. I came across this recipe and thought it would be great to try my hand at making my own granola. This was so easy and used items I mostly keep on hand which was great! You could put this atop of yogurt, smoothies, or like I'll share with … Read More
This summer my bible study went on a boat ride and ate at a restaurant on the river. While there we got an appetizer of fried green beans and I was immediately smitten! They were so amazing and I've been wanting to replicate them at home ever since. I finally got around to making a similar version but I didn't want to fool with frying so I looked around until I found a good recipe for a … Read More
Since it's resolution/healthy eating time, I thought I would share a healthy breakfast that my mom recently introduced me to. I'm not a fan of oatmeal normally, but I have loved Chick-fil-A's oatmeal, so my mom thought I would really like this since it tastes similar. I really enjoyed it! It had a bit chewier texture than regular oatmeal and was very flavorful and not pasty at all! It's a … Read More
Adam & I recently hosted a small party right after Christmas, more on that in my Strawberry on Top post this weekend. We made a few different appetizers and I had never tried making stuffed mushrooms before so I thought I would try them and see how they turned out. The verdict? Amazing!!! These were awesome! Even one of our friends who doesn't like mushrooms liked these! They had such a … Read More
So I know that it's resolution time. The gym is full and there is lots of healthy eating going on. I definitely am back on the healthy eating train, but I also know that it's NFL playoff time. That definitely calls for some awesome appetizers, so I have a few to share with you in the next couple weeks. This loaded baked potato dip is floating around the internet in lots of places, but I … Read More
