Carrabba’s Champagne Chicken
I really love the restaurant Carrabba’s, not only because they have good food, but that’s where my hubby and I went out to eat on our first date so it has some special meaning to me. I personally haven’t tried this dish at the restaurant so don’t have anything to...
Gender Reveal Party
Since we’re back from our trip from North Carolina we are finally getting a chance to share with family and friends what our little baby is going to be tomorrow at our gender reveal party. I’ve had 3 days to finalize everything after being gone 2 1/2 weeks so I’m...
Rosemary chicken Sandwich with Sundried Tomatoes and Pesto
While on vacation I like to make easy meals that don’t require a lot of cooking or prep so I can enjoy my time off. This is one of those easy meals that make you feel like you went out to a sandwich place for lunch. I used some leftover smoked chicken from this summer...
Duke’s Chocolate Cake
I’ve always heard of cakes being made with mayo or sour cream, but I haven’t tried the mayo one yet. This cake came out really moist and tasted rich. I opted to make cupcakes instead of the cake, because for some strange reason no one likes to cut a slice of cake, but...
Winter Panzanella
I made this for Thanksgiving last year, but never got around to posting it, so here we are a year later. Overall I thought the dish was good, but tasted better fresh and not reheated, due to the bread getting soggy. It makes a lot so it’s best if you are cooking for a...
Baked Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes
I made these right before we left on our trip for NC so we would have a quick breakfast the morning we left. They do taste best right out of the oven, but they lasted a good 2-3 days. They will start to get a little soggy like from the butter and the cinnamon sugar...
Smoked Pork Chops with Jack Daniel’s and Granny Smith Apple Cider Reduction Sauce
I didn’t have the veal demiglace so I’m not sure if that made a huge difference, I know the color would have been darker and I’m sure it would have had a richer taste to it. Smoked Pork Chops with Jack Daniel's and Granny Smith Apple Cider Reduction Sauce (Adapted...
Apple-Cheddar-Rosemary Pie
I love the combination of sweet and savory and nothing goes better together to explain that then the classic apples and cheddar. I had seen this on Martha Stewart, but instead of making little pie jars I just make one large pie and had to wing it on the baking time....
Happy Halloween!!!
Hope everyone has a safe and fun night tonight!
Lemon-Ricotta Pasta with Peas and Seared Scallops
You know I love me some pasta dishes! This one is super easy to toss together on a busy weeknight. I had to add some additional Cajun seasoning, but that’s all to taste. I liked the freshness of the herb and lemon combo. Lemon-Ricotta Pasta with Peas and Seared...
Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies
I love a good simple chocolate chip cookie, but my mom makes these with pecans in them which jazzes them up nicely. Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies Printer Friendly Version ½ cup Crisco ¾ cup brown sugar 1 egg 1 ¼ cups sifted flour 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon baking soda...
Chocolate-Covered Marshmallows
This is a great Fall treat for kids and adults. It’s kind of a play on smores just done in advance and less of a mess. I used pecans, but you could make it with crushed graham crackers or candy or anything else you can think of to stick on therm. Chocolate-Covered...
