Avocado and Tropical Fruit Salsa
I love the flavors of summer and this salsa totally embodies the flavors of summer. I seriously wish that some of these tropical fruits were hardy enough to grow in our “rough” climate because I would certainly have some kind of tropical fruit orchard growing right now. Oh well, you can’t have everything. This […]
Peppermint & White Chocolate Sugar Cookies
Well the 4th of July is right around the corner. If you haven’t had your picnics yet, I’m sure they are soon. In order to please Zach (I feel like I’m always pleasing Zach in the form of sweet treats (=), I decided to make him a peppermint cookie. Now I normally would not […]
Reuben Club Sandwiches with Apple Slaw
Every once in a while I just crave a reuben sandwich…a good reuben sandwich. They are hard to come by you know. I’ve been reluctant to make them because Zach absolutely hates sauerkraut. I know, I know, the list of foods he doesn’t like just keeps growing. I do kind of understand his hate […]
Sopaipillas (or Sopapillas) with Cannoli Cream & Fresh Fruit
Ever since our recent road trip to the Grand Canyon, I have been craving sopaipillas. Of course, I’m sure most of us have had a sopaipilla at some point in our lives. It’s really just a Southwestern/Mexican/Texan/Latin American/South American/Central American (yeah they serve them just about everywhere!) version of a donut. I forgot about […]
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 […]
Chocolate and Peanut Butter Pretzel Bundles
I say “bundles” because I didn’t know what else to call them. I was craving something super sweet today, so I went a little crazy. Actually, I went crazy in the form of pretzel bundles, vanilla bean cookie sandwiches and cheesecake bars (which will be up later this week). I know, it’s a good […]
Sweet Honey Dinner Rolls
We are so sorry we missed everyone yesterday! We were camping/hiking in the Rockies and had a blast! Now it’s time to get back to the real world and make some deliciously sweet dinner rolls; not such a bad real world if I do say so myself. I don’t know if it was my […]
A Summertime Barley Salad
Let’s talk barley shall we? I really feel bad for the poor little grain. He so often gets the cold shoulder! I feel like the second someone looks at the packaging on raw barley and finds that it has to cook for at least an hour, it’s immediately placed back on the shelf. Yes […]
Grilled Chicken Tacos with Pineapple Salsa
Tacos are our go to when we don’t know what else to make. Frankly, I think tacos are one of the most amazing inventions on the planet. You really could put just about anything into them, and they are delicious. Last night would be no different. So why did we take the easy way […]
