Prosciutto-Wrapped Shrimp with Watermelon-Tomato Salad
One fruit I love in the summer is watermelon. I’ve always seen people use watermelon as a salad, but it never appealed to me, until I decided to see what all the fuss was about. OMG what have I been missing out on!!!! The flavor is fantastic and everything balances...
Warm Jalapeno-Crab Dip
I had been looking forward to trying this dip for a while and when I finally made it I was like ehh. It needs more flavor so be sure you add in some seafood seasoning to give it that extra kick it’s lacking. I did add in some Old Bay, but next time I’ll add in more...
Blueberry Ricotta Pancakes/Waffles
I decided to give a idea I had gotten a try and I’m glad I did. These pancakes came out really nice and fluffy. I had seen recipes before using ricotta and since I had some leftover I thought I would give it a try. I would have added some orange zest in as well, but I...
Vanilla Vodka Rootbeer
It’s Friday and it’s time for a cocktail to kick off the weekend. I had gotten this free root beer and had been craving a root beer float, but when I make them I seem to make too much then I get a tummy ache from eating the whole thing. This drink really catered to my...
Sweet Potato Cream Pasta with Crispy Kale
This was a really good dish. The only thing we changed was we had to add more seasoning to it it kick it up a little, but I like the crispy kale chips added in. Hubby wasn’t over the moon about the kale chips, but whatever it’s optional. Sweet Potato Cream Pasta with...
Baked Kale Chips
I love finding new things to snack on and since I’ve been seeing a lot of recipes using kale I thought I would give it a try. These babies are AMAZING right out of the oven I had to control myself. I thought they where ok later on, I didn’t want to burn them, but you...

Mint Julep Cupcakes
I had made these a while back and forgot to post them! What makes it better is I got to use some of the mint that I grew. Hubby has been on a mint julep kick ever since our trip to the Peabody Hotel, so I thought he might enjoy these little gems. They would be perfect...
Watergate Salad
This is one of those recipes I’m sure most of you have had at some point in your life. Growing up we used to call it green fluff and thought it was the ultimate dessert even though it had fruit in it, it’s a kids sugar dream. We like our simple and I know...
