Mini Fruit Pizzas with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting
Last weekend I had the pleasure of co-hosting a double baby shower for 2 moms in our playgroup who are expecting their second child. I wanted to do a variety of food with a little something for everyone. I’ll be posting the chicken salad recipe as well as the bread...
Vegetable Chow Mein
I’m not sure why I thought this was going to be a complicated dish to make, this was super easy. The longest part is cooking down the vegetables which you could do ahead of time. This did make a large pot, but I’m not complaining it’s really good! Vegetable Chow Mein...
Roasted Salmon and Asparagus with Balsamic-Butter Sauce
While this was pretty good I think I still prefer my salmon cooked on a BBQ pit. The sauce was really thin which I think it should have cooked down a little more and it would have been better, but overall it’s an easy dish for those busy weeknights. Roasted Salmon and...
Balsamic Grilled Chicken with Spicy Honey Bacon Glaze
I always like a little twist on grilled chicken and I have to say I didn’t really taste the marinade on this one, but the sauce was pretty good. It’s not my favorite chicken recipe I’ve made, but it’s worth a try for the sauce. Balsamic Grilled Chicken with Spicy...
Roasted Garlic Macaroni and Cheese
One of my brother’s favorite flavors in life is garlic. I’m pretty sure he’s eaten it raw and I’ve occasionally had to tell him he smells like garlic from eating so much of it. All I know is if vampires attack I’ll be heading to his house! I liked this mac and cheese...
Apple Cheddar Stuffed Chicken with Apple Dijon Pan Sauce
I was excited about trying this Fall dish and then it was a big let down. The flavors didn’t really come through like I wanted and the sauce was a watery puddle on the plate. I think I’ll stick to my stuffed pork chop recipe I have. Apple Cheddar Stuffed Chicken with...
Easy Pork Chops with Sweet and Sour Glaze
I had a craving for pork chops lately, and usually when we have them they are pre packaged ones with a stuffing. I happened to really like the flavor that this glaze gave the pork chops and it’s super easy to mix up while the hubby was grilling them. We happened to...
Basic Steamed Mussels with White Wine and Shallots
As my July edition of my New Years Resolution I went with mussels. I’ve had these in restaurants before mostly mixed with other seafood. They are super easy to cook and make a nice light meal. I happened to double the recipe and at the bottom of this post you’ll see...
Reuben Panini
Sometimes you just need an easy dinner with these crazy busy nights we have. I love doing a panini because it makes me feel like I cooked something haha. I would love to make this again in the Fall with a nice big bowl of soup. Reuben Panini (Adapted from Katie’s...
Banana Pudding with Caramel Bananas and Bourbon Banana Caramel Sauce
This has to be one of the most amazing desserts. It’s pretty easy to make the only issue is it’s best eaten when you make it. The sauce doesn’t keep to well, the pudding can be made in advance. Banana Pudding with Caramel Bananas and Bourbon Banana Caramel...
Fried Mac and Cheese Balls
There’s really no recipe to these, they are super easy to make. I used leftover macaroni I had from a dinner party. You want to make sure the mac and cheese is chilled in the fridge so that it’s really cold. Using an ice cream scoop size worked best for me as when I...
Cheesecake Factory Key Lime Cheesecake Copy Cat Version
I’ve got to say that by far this is the best looking cheesecake I’ve made in my life! I couldn’t be more thrilled either, since I was bringing it to a dinner party. The flavor in this is spot on and I was worried with baking it without water it would have major...
