Spinach Bowls Filled with Flavored Rice Topped with Grilled Shrimp
I originally created this dish for the rice festivals cooking contest. It’s easy to make and as you’ll see below it’s easy to change it up and cook the shrimp via stove top instead of on the grill. You can serve the dish in a large serving platter or do individual...
Mocha Nut Fudge
I’ve never had luck making fudge, until now. I know the rules of candy making and the weather, but for some reason my fudge is always too soft and never taste right. I can safely tell you this recipe is awesome. It’s easy and quick, you just have to put a little arm...
Lemon Poppy Seed Cakes
I really love a good simple cake that really shows off fresh flavors and I think I found a perfect and easy recipe! These little cakes are not only cute, but they are not overly sweet. I want to bake another batch, but I am restraining myself from over doing it. These...
Sausage Pasta
Ok, before you say what in the heck where you thinking, I ‘m putting it out there I was trying to think outside the box. Johnsonville had a recipe contest using their sausage and I thought it would be a cool idea to cook the Italian Sausage and add it to pasta dough....
Chocolate Donuts
What kids don’t love donuts and chocolate ones at that? Last weekend I made wanted to try out a new donut recipe since I found some donut pans I had been wanting. The recipe made a bunch of donuts so I made a special deliver to all the neighbors that morning with...
Soft Pretzels like Auntie Anne’s
I always love the smell of fresh pretzels in the mall, even when you’re not hungry my tummy still growls at the smell of them. I thought it would be fun while my nephew Josh was over that we could make pretzels. Like most kids he never knew how easy it was to make....
Top Chef Tour
It’s been a busy week I’m so glad it’s Friday! The Top Chef Tour was in town this Wednesday and I was very excited about attending. I went with my neighbor, my mother in law and my nephew. They limit it to 65 seats which was a nice size group. I just felt bad for them...
One Dish Blackberry French Toast & Cascade 24 hour Challenge
I recently received a package in the mail provided by P&G through MyBlogSpark, which is a product I really love! I‘m usually really good at rinsing off my dishes before loading the dishwasher, but when I have a party sometimes they get left in the sink half rinsed...
Rosemary Bread from Macaroni Grill
Today’s my birthday so I’m keeping this post short. If you haven’t made any bread from scratch then this is a pretty easy one to try for your first one. We don’t have any Macaroni Grill’s around us anymore, but this is supposed to be a copy cat recipe from one they...
Chicken with Caramelized Shallots and Shiitake-Wine Sauce
When I saw this recipe my mouth was drooling over the picture. The problem came when I made it, my plate didn’t look like the picture. The shallots didn’t stick to the chicken like the recipe said and they burned. Otherwise the sauce is fantastic! Just a word of...
Smoked salmon with Jack Daniel’s Sauce
Get ready to have your socks knocked off! I try a lot of recipes and by far this has been an upscale restaurant quality one that looked fancy and tasted amazing to the point where we couldn’t stop eating it! We smoked our salmon with a little multi seasoning...
Mint Lemonade
I recently purchased Eva Longoria’s new cookbook Eva’s Kitchen. Flipping through I really like how simple the recipes are, a few are ones I have that my grandmother made or have been around a while, but I still enjoyed having them all in one place now. Since it’s...
