Crab Spaghetti with Lemon Gremolata
With summer time I like lighter dishes, but I love me some pasta dishes so this has the best of both worlds. The lemon really brightens up the dish and I have to say the gremolata gave it a nice texture bonus. This recipe was a winner in our books. The only change I...
Chocolate Vodka Soaked Cherries
So there’s not much of a recipe for this one. While out on the lake with some friends one person had some tequila soaked pineapple which gave me an idea to try something a little on the sweeter side. I just took regular cocktail cherries (either with or without stems)...
Cookie Dough Waffles
Because waffles aren’t great enough by themselves, why not add some cookie dough to it? HAHA So it’s not one of our everyday foods, but it’s a nice little treat, plus I even made it healthy looking by serving it with some bananas. : ) Cookie Dough Waffles (Adapted...
Chicken Tamale Casserole
This makes a great base recipe to really get creative with. The recipe by itself is worth the try, but there’s a list of things that hubby and I discussed at dinner that would really take this casserole to the next layer. It would even make cute individual servings if...
Brownie Truffles
I love bite sized desserts and if you love brownies I’m sure you’ll love these little guys covered in chocolate. They are rich so I used a smaller cookie scoop and they are best eaten straight from the freezer. I don’t know why it’s better from the freezer than the...
Crab Filled Crescent Wontons
So the phrase too many cooks in the kitchen came into play for this post. I was helping my dad film an episode for his weekly appearance on Sporting Chef when I forgot I had these in the oven so they came out a little darker then I would have liked. Oh well, they...

Garlic Parmesan Chicken Lasagna Bake
This is an easy recipe for the kids to help out with. I know my toddler loved breaking up the lasagna noodles! I used frozen grilled fajita chicken then chopped them in bite size pieces. I did have to add a little extra seasoning, but overall it’s a good easy dish....
Cannoli Poke Cake
I had such a great birthday weekend, but I’m worn out today! I decided to just do a simple cake for myself since we weren't doing a party, but this one would be a crowd pleasure for sure. It’s easy to make ahead of time because it stays in the fridge. I made this...
Seared Tuna with Spicy Mustard Sauce, Wasabi Whipped Potatoes and Noodles with Soy Mirin Dressing
Now if you’re still with me after that long title, you’ll be happy because it’s 4 recipes in 1 post today, plus…….IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!!! One thing I love when going out is seared tuna. I could eat it all day everyday if I could. I lucked out finding these 2 tuna steaks...
Authentic Charlie Palmer’s Steak Dry Rub Recipe
Usually my hubby is a little skeptical after I mention I made a new rub or marinade for steaks since that’s always his job. I have to say this rub actually makes the steak taste exactly like a steakhouse. We have never been to Charlie Palmer’s Steakhouse, but if this...
Crock Pot Cashew Chicken
I love to try and make Asian food when I can and since I love cashews I thought this would be a good one to try. The flavor is good, but with the amount of soy sauce in there you want to splurge on the one with less sodium otherwise you’ll be like my husband chugging...
