Blueberry Lemonade Frozen Yogurt Ice Pops
Mmmmmmm…Ice Pops…Just the sound of “ice pop” gets my heart-a-racing. I’m such a baby when it comes to the darn things. I’ll only buy two off the shelf products out there…Fruttare and Dreyer’s Outshine (or Edy’s if you are on the East coast). Which by the way, this still has yet to make sense […]
Portobello Fries and a Happy IPA Day!
Happy International IPA Day everyone! I feel like there is a holiday for everything these days, but this “holiday” is especially awesome because it involves beer and one of my personal favorite brew styles: the IPA. What I love about IPAs are all the sub-categories that go along with them. Good IPAs aren’t too […]
Chicken Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
So we’ve been eating mushrooms like two crazy people eating mushrooms, but I’ll get into that in a moment. Stuffed mushrooms are a pretty solid appetizer don’t you think? We think so over here, but I often find that the stuffed mushrooms they serve at most restaurants are super boring. In an attempt to […]
Chipotle BBQ Chicken Kabobs with Avocado Cream
Come on, you know everything tastes better when it’s cooked on a stick: chicken, hot dogs, marshmallows…you get the picture. Also, you know everything tastes better when it’s cooked over an open fire, or in this case on a grill over an open fire. This chicken kabob recipe can only be described in one […]
Pretzel Bites with Homemade Honey Mustard
There are few things more satisfying than a really great homemade soft pretzel. After our backpacking trip, I was craving just about everything in the book (that wasn’t Annie’s Mac and Cheese — this is basically what I ate for 3 nights straight). For some odd reason, pretzels came into my mind. I knew, […]
Roasted Tomatillo and Garlic Salsa
Let’s be honest, salsas are awesome. Some may even say they are the perfect snack. Well, maybe I just think they are the perfect snack. I think that is reason enough though don’t you think? They are fresh, crisp and refreshing: perfect for a hot Summer day. We go through them like water around […]
Butter Crunch Trail Mix
With all of this talk of hiking, backpacking and so forth (I really think it’s all I’ve been talking about for the past week — I’m so sorry if this is boring to you), I found it 100% fitting to share a trail mix recipe. Trail mix can get boring; like super, super boring. […]
Vanilla Bean and Almond Biscotti
So our air conditioner broke, and it sucks. I had a conversation with my mom this morning about how to keep the house cool until it can be fixed, and she 100% advised me not to turn the oven on. Well, moms know best for sure, and I should have taken her advice. The […]
Chocolate Dipped Marshmallow and Fruit Skewers
Because the 4th of July is right around the corner, that’s why! I have seen many “skewer-type” recipes out there that delve into the dessert category, but I wanted to go a slightly different route. I originally wanted to do this recipe with pound cake because pound cake is absolutely delicious and it’s holds […]
