The food in San Francisco is fabulous! There are so many options it can be overwhelming. Everywhere we ate was really good and I would definitely recommend.

We went here … Read More

Skinny Cow Milkshake

I love Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches. Especially the chocolate ice cream ones. So tasty and low in calories! (This post is NOT sponsored by Skinny Cow in any way...I just love them and eat them all the time). Since I love them so, I decided to try them in a milkshake. I used the vanilla ice cream sandwiches but this would work with any flavor that they have. This tasted great. The cookie … Read More

Six Week Bran Muffins

Recently we had a major yard sale and my mother-in-law brought over these fabulous muffins for us to enjoy for breakfast as a reward for our early morning and hard work at the sale. They were so fantastic! The best part is they are so versatile! You could change it up by adding so many different fillings. Even better, the batter lasts for up to six weeks in your refrigerator so you can make a … Read More

Homemade Hamburger Buns

I have been wanting to try my hand at homemade hamburger buns for quite some time. I know its much easier to buy them at the store, but these really beat out any kind you will find at the store, I promise! They were soft and had a slight sweetness to them but still held together for the most part. I put a lot of condiments on my burger so mine was kind of messy-that's the best way to eat a … Read More

Homemade Nutter Butters

OH MY WORD!!! These are absolutely phenomenal! I could've eaten like the entire batch of these cookies. They are irresistibly melt in your mouth delicious! They are the kind of cookies that immediately evoke an uncontrollably "mmm" immediately after you take a bite. Everyone, and I mean everyone that had these was asking me to bring them the recipe. I could've eaten the icing alone with a … Read More

Caribbean Jerk Chicken Tacos

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! I didn't get to celebrate with Mexican food on actual Cinco de Mayo, but we deemed Sunday Mexican food day. Quesadillas for lunch and these tacos for dinner. I love this kind of taco at my favorite Taco Mamacita that I've mentioned on here fifty billion times:) so I decided to try and recreate it at home. I also love the vegetarian jerk taco that uses … Read More

Please continue to pray for everyone in TN, AL, GA & MS that were affected by the tornadoes.Mexican food is probably one of my favorite food groups!

Tornadoes 2011

Our town was one of the ones ravaged by the deadly tornadoes last week. God was so good to us and all we had was a tree down (didn't hit our house) and power out for a while. We are so blessed and thankful for God's protection because the devastation throughout our town is heart breaking. So many lost everything or even lost loved ones and several are still out of power. In the midst of … Read More

Coconut Shrimp with Pineapple Cilantro Dip

I'm fully ready for summer and the pool! Can't wait for this warm weather to be consistent. This shrimp screams summer and it was super easy to pull together too. I just realized the coconut was supposed to be toasted-haha...it was in the ingredients that way but not the directions, so I missed it! :) I've added to the directions below. I'm sure that would've added more punch to the flavor. … Read More
