Hello there! It’s gorgeous outside today and it’s got me thinking about crisp, cold refreshing salads and dinner on our screened-in porch. Maybe a tall glass of iced tea? This is such an easy little salad to put together, and the chunks of grilled chicken make it delicious and satisfying enough to pass as lunch…
I have fond memories of school lunches. The chicken patty with cheese, the pizza, the chef salad, the Italian dunkers, the lunch lady hamburger soup, the sweet and sour meatballs with rice, the goulash, the brownies, the special K bars. Even the old school peanut butter and jelly sandwich on white bread accompanied by plain…
I decided to create another layered cake pan salad! Since my other layered salad in a cake pan has been shared and pinned thousands of times, it was time to share something similar, yet new. How about a layered taco salad in a cake pan? Everyone loves taco salad! The idea behind this salad shares…
Yes, I still have more appetizer recipes to share with you thanks to the ridiculous amount of them that I made for Super Bowl Sunday. Ohmygoodness. They were all sooooo good too. This is one of my favorites and it hails from my childhood. My grandma and great aunts made these around the holidays, and…
Here’s another one of the delicious, somewhat outrageous, appetizers I made for Super Bowl Sunday! I got the idea from the lineup of new offerings at the Minnesota State Fair this past August and just knew I had to recreate these at home. They’re the perfect indulgence for a special gathering or served as a…
This is a recipe I’ve been making for ages, and it’s always a hit. We love to serve these on holidays (Super Bowl Sunday, included.) You can feel free to use apricot or peach preserves in place of the grape jelly, and chipotle powder in place of the smoked paprika if you like spicy! Once…
As Valentine’s Day approaches I’m busy in the kitchen cooking and baking up some of our favorite treats so I can share the recipes with you. These soft, puffy, delicious sugar cookies are awesome for any holiday, but I especially like to make them for Valentine’s Day. They remind me of an heirloom recipe we…
Are you looking for some awesome appetizers to serve at your next gathering? Here’s one of my favorites. It’s a new twist on the classic artichoke dip, and I think it’s safe to say that my additions improved an already delicious recipe. ~ preheat oven to 350 degrees F. ~ 1 to 2 (14 oz.)…
I know there are probably a bunch of recipes for this cold veggie pizza out there, but it’s so good and easy, I had to share my version. I’ve made this a LOT, and have found that people enjoy it any time of year. It’s cold and refreshing in the summer, and it’s an unexpected…
These are one of our “must make” holiday treats every year. They’re chocolaty, caramely, nutty and gooey. In short, perfect. There are a lot of recipes for German Chocolate bars out there, but my addition of extra chocolate chips and extra pecans make these the ultimate. I also make sure to buy the super moist…
