Fruit Salsa

A while back I helped throw a shower for my dear friend and one of the other girls hosting made fruit salsa.  It was so good that I asked her to send me the recipe.  I can't believe I've just now gotten around to making it! This is fabulous and perfect for parties! It goes great with these baked cinnamon chips. I'm sure you could easily sub or add in other fruits: kiwi, banana, … Read More

Strawberry Cheesecake Bread

I just bought some strawberries at the grocery on sale and kind of forgot about them once I got them home.  They were about to go bad and we can't have that! So I went searching for a recipe to use them up and came back across this bread that I pinned a while back.  This strawberry bread was wonderful! Super moist and just the right amount of sweetness.  This is a great breakfast or snack! I … Read More

Homemade Chick-Fil-A Sauce

I love love love Chick-Fil-A! I am especially fond of their grilled chicken sandwiches with fruit and my favorite is that they serve diet dr. pepper! Also from time to time on a splurge I will get their chicken nuggets and they have this amazing sauce that is similar to a honey mustard, called Chick-Fil-A sauce.  It's amazing! Well we all know they are closed on Sundays or you may not live … Read More

Grape Salad

Homemade Girl Scout Tagalongs

It's that time of year where you start seeing girl scouts selling cookies outside your local grocery store.  I honestly haven't eaten girl scout cookies in quite a while but I used to love the thin mints & tagalongs!! I could polish off a thin mint sleeve in no time, especially if they were cold! So after you polish off your girl scout cookies and no more are available you can make your … Read More

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins

Thank you all so much for your sweet comments about Sophie and for your wishes to feel better! I am feeling much better, thankfully! I have gotten into a bit of a cooking/baking rut after not cooking much the past couple of weeks. I decided to bust out of that and bake some muffins for Adam's co-workers. The first recipe I tried was a big fail and ended up in the trash.  Not the best way to … Read More

BBQ Chicken Pizza Soup

So I know this may sound like a bazaar soup, but it truly has all the flavors of a bbq chicken pizza, especially topped with a little cheese! This was a super easy weeknight meal and Adam really loved it! I loved that it mostly contained pantry staples too, so it's a great meal if you've forgotten to go to the store. Definitely a fun twist on traditional soup to warm you up during this polar … Read More

Red Velvet Rice Krispie Treats

So I have one more red velvet recipe for you! This one is super quick & easy to put together and will definitely be a crowd pleaser! The best part is it's like a cross between a rice krispie & a cake since it has frosting sandwiched in between! The subtle hint of the red velvet paired with the buttercream made these an awesome dessert! And I was strong and only had one little sliver … Read More
