I can’t tell you how many times I have made my Mother-In-Law’s famous potato casserole for my husband. It’s delicious. For reals. Then last week when I was making it, yet again, it dawned on me that this classic potato casserole recipe could be jazzed up with some spicy jalapeños and cream cheese. I knew it would be fantastic. No questions asked. And it was. I’m a huge lover of spicy food, but my family {read: 4 children} can’t usually {Read More}
I have been dying to share this recipe with you for the past month. I’m a huge fan of Jalapeño Poppers. I love the cheesy creamy filling, the spicy jalapeños and of course the crispy crunch of the buttered panko bread crumbs. I’m thinking it’s time for that Jalapeño Popper goodness to make it’s debut in pizza form. I’ve made this pizza over a regular pizza dough, and it’s equally as delicious; but I made this Jalapeño Popper Pita Pizza {Read More}
I’m going to be honest with you right now. When I set out to make this fabulous dairy filled dessert I was hoping to create one killer Strawberry no-bake Cheesecake. But sometimes mistakes in recipe development can turn into beautiful disasters. My creamy Strawberry Cheesecake filling was a little on the runny side and wouldn’t hold, so I did the logical thing and threw it in my freezer. That’s when the Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream Cake was born. If you {Read More}
If I had to pick my all time favorite dessert it would be a cheesecake. Any sort of cheesecake will do. I’m crazy about the tangy taste of the cheesecake, but not so thrilled at how long it takes to make a cheesecake. In fact, I hate making cheesecakes because it takes for-ev-er. So, to continue with my “Birthday Week” theme, I decided to make one heck of a cheesecake – in dip form. It had to include that delicious {Read More}
If you’re looking for the perfect dessert to share for Easter, then you have to make this Carrot Gooey Cake. I’m only slightly obsessed with gooey cakes, they go over well for any occasion. There’s my Pumpkin Gooey Cake for the Fall, Hot Chocolate Gooey Cake for the Winter… so it’s only natural that there should be a Carrot Gooey Cake for Spring! This Carrot Gooey Cake is phenomenal. I don’t really feel like I need to describe it more {Read More}
Let’s talk about muffin tops for a minute. Not the kind that most of us women are trying to avoid on a daily basis {or is that just me??}… we’ll save that one for another time. I’m talking about those glorious bakery muffins with crowns of deliciousness bursting out of the muffin cup. How on earth do they get the muffins to rise so high without falling flat? But most importantly, how can YOU make your muffins rise up to the occasion? {Read More}
Have you heard that it takes more calories to eat a piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with? It’s true, but it has nothing to do with the chewing involved. It all comes down to the digestion of the plant’s cellulose composition. The body expels more energy trying to break down the celery which results in what is called “negative calories.” Which brings me to this delicious recipe I have for you today… These Creamy {Read More}
I can’t think of any other dessert that is more romantic than a crème brûlée. It oozes romance. I could be a little bias though. The first time I had crème brûlée was on a cruise with my husband. We were dressed up like prom night and our European waiter suggested this delicate dessert in the most seductive British accent. Candles were glowing softly all around us, we both gracefully picked up our spoons and took a bight. It was a {Read More}

They are deliciously sweet, and full of healthy fiber! {why are you looking at me like I’m 90?} I stuffed these tasty little gems with a chive and onion cream cheese then wrapped them in {Read More}
When it comes to ringing in the New Year, it’s all about the party food. I’m talking Finger Food Appetizers. It’s the best when you can get your guests in and out of the kitchen without having to worry about plates and utensils. Who needs forks and spoons when there are things like toothpicks and fingers. Supply little bites of this and that for your guests to nibble on during your festive party, and you’ll have one happy crowd when the {Read More}
