Whew! What a week it's been already and it's only Tuesday night! Sorry I'm so late in posting this week, it's been absolutely crazy! Crazy in a good way, but I am already ready for the weekend! I made this pull apart bread for Sunday School a couple of weeks ago. It was a bit time intensive, but not difficult. It's definitely one to make when you want a fun afternoon of baking. I made this on … Read More
Spaghetti with Lemon & Olive Oil (al Limone)
This pasta came across my google reader and I thought it would pair perfectly with the bread dipping spices, so I made plans to make it as soon as possible. This pasta was light and fresh and full of flavor. It makes for a really elegant meal, especially when topping it with a drizzle of olive oil. I halved the recipe below since it was just for Adam & I, and it was enough for two meals … Read More
Carrabba’s Bread Dipping Spices
Hope everyone had a great weekend! I was off of work last Friday so I decided to take advantage and make a romantic dinner to be ready when Adam got home from work (it is VERY rare that I have dinner waiting for him)! We had a great pasta dish, which I'll be sharing later this week, and I wanted something extra special on the side. Adam & I love Carrabba's...our favorite thing is their … Read More
Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Two weekends ago, Adam & I slept in and took it easy. After we woke up we layed in bed watching TV until around 11 am! While we were relaxing, I was perusing my google reader and saw this recipe and realized I had everything to make them. So we had pancakes at noon! These were so light & fluffy, everything a pancake should be. I love chocolate for breakfast, but if you don't this is a … Read More
Urban Stack in Chattanooga, TN
Adam turned the big 3-1 on Monday and we love to not just celebrate on the day, but have an entire "Birthday Weekend." Last year we went to Atlanta and went to the zoo & aquarium so this year we decided to be more low key and stay closer to home. We spent a fabulous day outside on Saturday enjoying the gorgeous weather and then watching the Final Four (unfortunately my KY Wildcats lost, … Read More
Mexican Rice
This past weekend I made these enchiladas, except I made them with chicken this time. So creamy and delicious! I wanted a new side to go along with these and thought of my love for Mexican rice at the Mexican restaurants. This rice was far better than any I've had in a restaurant. So fresh and the texture of the rice was just perfect...moist but not gummy. I seriously ate it right out of the … Read More
Flaky Blood Orange Tart
So sorry I'm just now posting this week! It's been a whirlwind of a week! Super busy, but in a good way. Work is busy, but good and I've had dinner with good friends Mon & Tues night and also made dinner for some friends that just had a baby. Crazy week, but a great one. Feels like it should be Friday night already! Hope you all are having a great week too! Now onto the … Read More
Homemade Ketchup
Ketchup is one of my favorite things in the entire world. It should have its own food group. I have always loved ketchup and when I eat it with something I eat a ton of it!:) Of course I love it with fries, potato wedges and even baked potatoes (tastes like one big fry!) but it's also pretty good on doritos-haha! I even made a ketchup sandwich when I was little one Saturday morning before my … Read More
Fresh Strawberry Cupcakes w/Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting
These cupcakes are phenomonal! I have had this recipe for at least 4 years and I can't believe I am just now making them. I am sad I waited this long. They are so moist and fresh and fabulous! The frosting goes perfectly with the lightness of the cupcakes and balances them out to make one amazing cupcake! It was so creamy and tasted like strawberry ice cream! We ate quite a bit of the … Read More
