We had a dinner meeting at our house on Friday night to prepare for a youth retreat we are leading in August, and I decided it would be fun to have a Mexican Fiesta theme to the dinner. So everyone brought some sort of mexican dish. I had seen these roll-ups on Delicious Meliscious and Cook Like a Champion and knew they would be a great addition to the party. Little did I know they would be … Read More
I originally saw an idea for a scrambled egg pizza on Culinary in the Desert. I saved the recipe but never got around to making it. Then last week, while my family was at Disney World, we ate at Chef Mickey's (which is amazingly good and so fun) and they had breakfast pizza. It was so unique and so delicious that I went back for a second piece. My mom saw the chef and asked him what was in … Read More
My mom asked me to make a dessert for my Godmother's Birthday. I didn't want to do the typical cake or cupcake because I feel like I have been making those a lot lately. So I went in search of either a bar or brownie recipe and came across this gem on LovestoEat. I got rave reviews from my family saying that these were SO GOOD and super delicious. Be sure to grab a glass of milk though, … Read More
I needed a light appetizer that went well with my Italian meal at my dinner party. I had a can of cannelini beans and a can of roasted red peppers. I went back through my google reader and had starred this recipe from Elly Says Opa that contained both of them-perfect! Not only did it go great with my meal, but it would use up some pantry items as well! This was a light and creamy dip that was … Read More
I had been planning on making a chocolate layer cake for our dinner party, but it was such a gorgeous and hot day outside, that I thought that might be too heavy. I immediately thought of doing a yellow cake with some sort of strawberry filling. However, I couldn't really find a recipe that I wanted to use. I went ahead and went to the store and got some more cake flour and right there on the … Read More
We had a dinner meeting at our house this past Friday night and I wanted to make something that was easy to make everything ahead and just stick it in the oven, and also easy to double for a crowd of 17 people. I immediately thought of stuffed shells and went searching for a recipe. I then remembered I had starred this recipe from Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes. She used a meat sauce, but I … Read More
I needed an easy weeknight meal and had starred these Oven Fried Honey Chicken Nuggets from Sweet Tea in Texas a while back in my Google Reader. These were really easy to make and so delicious! This might just be my new go-to chicken recipe. I loved the sweetness the honey gave to the chicken. And the combination of the balsamic gave it just the right balance. If you aren't a balsamic fan, … Read More
This really isn't food related, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to celebrate Earth Day! I haven't ever been one to celebrate this very much or get excited about it, but a little over a year ago I began steps to beening "greener" in how we live, eat, etc. Here are just a few small steps to take on your way to becoming greener and reducing your carbon print on the world. I have slowly … Read More
For lunch on Adam's birthday, we recently ate at a great new restaurant in Chattanooga, TN called Taco Mamacita. It is a GREAT restaurant. They feature mostly tacos (obviously) but also have other mexican dishes as well. The cost is super reasonable and their tacos are so inventive. They use all fresh ingredients and they are totally gourmet. Any foodie would love them! The atmosphere is … Read More
My parents and brother gave up chocolate for Lent and since it's over now, I wanted to make them something extra chocolatey and delicious. Devil's food cake sounded like the perfect thing to quench their chocolately cravings. With half the batter I tried an experiment, but it didn't work out. I will be trying this experiment again in the future, so I won't divulge it now. Luckily as a … Read More
