BBQ Cook-off results & Cherry Almond Vanilla Cupcakes
We had another busy weekend with a neighborhood BBQ cook-off. Usually we are one team, but we divided up into 3. I was a little shocked that hubby and I didn’t place in anything we entered, but at least our friends placed. Our other teams got 1st and 2nd place in...
Best Dressing
I can’t say this is the best dressing ever, but I can say it’s really light and grows on you. The first 2 bites I didn’t taste much, but the more I ate it the more the flavors came out. I think making it in advanced helps too so the dressing can develop more flavor. I...
Whole Wheat Brown Sugar Banana Bread Pancakes
While these pancakes where ok they tasted better as waffles. The batter is a little heavy so I think they formed better as waffles and who doesn’t like those little vessels that hold the syrup? I did like the addition of the bananas in there, I just wish it was little...
Scallops with Spinach and Paprika Syrup
OMG I found my new favorite scallop dish!! Holy moly this is a good one. I didn’t know there was such a thing as paprika syrup, but the sweet and spice works so well with the scallops without masking the natural flavor of them. This would make a perfect appetizer, but...
Mint Chocolate Baileys Chippers
If you have any Bailey’s left over from St. Patrick’s day then you’ll want to try these cookies. They are super easy and quick to make. You can taste the Bailey’s in them so make sure you don’t make them too big! Mint Chocolate Baileys Chippers (Adapted from (Never...
Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
I know I said I’m on a diet from our trip, but in all fairness I made these before our trip! They’re super easy to make, you just have to make sure your heat isn’t too high or the sugar part will burn. I didn’t pipe the filling out of a bag, I just drizzled with a...
Back from vacation
Well, after 10 days, driving over 1,800 miles and taking over 2,000 pictures I think I’m finally sorting it all out. I’m working on daily post from our trip on my travel blog. (Click HERE to see it as they’re posted.) Since we ate A LOT on the trip I thought I would...
Corn with Garlic Cilantro Butter
This week with our Sunday Steak Night we grilled some sweet corn. I wanted to try out a few new flavors for this summer so I’ll be posting them as we try them. This one was ok. My hubby is a huge cilantro fan, but I don’t really care for it. He said he would have this...
Autumn Salad with Apples and Dijon/Maple Vinaigrette
I’ve been looking for some other salad dressing recipes. I always feel they taste better when homemade if possible rather then the bottled stuff out there. Besides usually when I’m done with what the recipe makes I don’t have leftover dressing that sits in my fridge...
Asparagus Gruyere Tart
I love asparagus and I really like Gruyere cheese so this was an awesome side dish for me. I made this instead of 2 separate side dishes one night with dinner and I liked that it’s light and filling. As you’ll see below I wasn’t paying attention when reading the...
Lemon Cheesecake Crème Brulee Bars
If you like cheesecake and you like crème brulee then you’re going to love this dessert. It’s the best of both worlds. These bars a easy to make ahead of time and pop in the fridge until you’re ready. I cut them in larger squares which equaled 9 servings instead of...
Buttery Crab Bread Pudding
Happy early Easter! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend!! I’m currently enjoying a fun vacation, but I’ll be back on Monday. As soon as I can get some of the trip post done on my travel blog I’ll share them with you. I originally made this dish during...
