I've mentioned it numerous times, but I am fanatical for anything s'mores. If I see a s'mores dessert or treat, I've got to try it. I was trying to think of a fun dessert to make for Memorial Day and I thought of doing a s'mores pizza of sorts, but I didn't want to fool with making pizza dough so I found a great recipe for a S'mores Cookie Cake. I don't know about you, but I can hardly … Read More
As I mentioned on Thursday, Adam & I just got back from a trip to Disney World, one of our very favorite places! We are just big kids at heart so Disney is right up our alley! I was going to post about our entire Disney adventures, but this post got a little lengthy so I'm splitting up with Magic Kingdom fun today and then I'll post about our Epcot adventures next weekend. Thursday we … Read More
This past weekend I was blessed to have the opportunity to attend my first food blog conference, Food Blog Forum. And Bonus, it was at Disney World, one of my favorite places ever! Originally I went to sign up right when the tickets went on sale but they were sold out in like 5 minutes, literally! So I got put on the waiting list and Praise the Lord, a spot opened up! I was super pumped!! … Read More
I love pasta salad! It's such a light, summery side dish and it goes perfectly with a good burger or some bbq! There are so many different ways to make it, but my favorite is the classic way with some fresh veggies thrown in tossed in Italian Dressing. I just made this with what I had on hand, so feel free to throw in your favorite veggies. I bet it would be great with some red & yellow … Read More
There are so many recipes out there that utilize Italian Dressing. You can marinate your chicken in it, toss veggies in it and roast or grill them and so much more. Well, I thought I would make my own at home instead of buying the bottled stuff. This tasted so much like the store bought version, plus it used all pantry items that I keep on hand! I used it in pasta salad that I'll be sharing … Read More
For Mother's Day my mom asked me to make her a dessert with strawberries or some sort of fruit. Immediately a crumb cake type dessert came to my mine. This cake was moist and flavorful but not too rich and it really highlighted the strawberries. Everyone but me topped it with whipped cream (I'm not a whipped cream fan) but I bet it would be great topped with powdered sugar too, though it … Read More
BBQ is one of my favorite things to eat or order at a restaurant. I especially love the sweet yet spicy sauces, so I knew I wanted to try and make one from scratch at home. You will not believe how easy it is to make BBQ sauce! Just throw everything in the pot, bring to a boil and let simmer and that's it! This sauce is sweet yet tangy and has a slight kick to it. The flavors marry … Read More
Today we are celebrating Krystal of Mrs. Regueiro's Plate and her new little boy coming soon! Krystal is a dear blogging friend of mine. We met about 5 years ago on a cooking message board on The Nest and became fast friends. She is so sweet, thoughtful and always encouraging! I can't wait until we get to meet face to face, hopefully one day very soon! I'm so excited for her new little … Read More
I pretty much eat one of two options for breakfast every morning during the week. It's either cereal or a Clif bar. Occasionally I have to grab a handful of nuts and a Kashi cookie on my way out the door. ;) I'm not a morning person at all and sleep until the last possible second with just enough time to get ready, so breakfast has to be quick and easy and sometimes portable for me. I'm not … Read More
So in continuing with our Mexican fiesta we've been having here the past week, you can't have a fiesta without finishing it with dessert, right?!? These bars couldn't be easier to put together and they would be great for any party, Mexican themed or not. They are sweet and flaky and the cinnamon sugar & butter form a nice crust on top that gives it a great crunch. Make these for your … Read More
