Cauliflower Poppers

Tina34 Comments

It’s football season and you know what that means… we need some kinda game food.  Let’s face it, even if you’re not into football, snacks and appetizers are always fun to eat, like these cauliflower poppers. Let me start by saying that these poppers do not have cheese in them (in case you are like my husband who thinks poppers = veggies and cheese). On to the business at hand.  Cauliflower.  I bought a head of cauliflower, having no particular recipe to use it in.  Since it’s one of my favorite veggies I knew I’d come up with some way …

Apple Cheese Danish

Tina46 Comments

Pumpkin versus apple goodies… ah, the infamous Autumn food debate!  Do you have a favorite? You may think that baking a cheese danish is complicated.  You know because it looks all fancy dancy with its braid affect.  This one is really easy though, I promise.  I’ve even included step by step photos to prove it.  My husband likes loads and loads of detailed steps so I’ve decided to take a page from his book here. Hello gorgeous danish.  I’ve even impressed myself, which is a rare thing. This danish has the perfect ratio of dough to cheese filling to apples.  The cheese filling is creamy and perfectly sweetened.  It’s …

Chicken And Rice Enchilada Casserole

My husband and I are big fans of Mexican food so I tend to cook it often.  Even if I only have rice, beans, and a jar of salsa handy, I can always whip up something quick that vaguely imitates Mexican food.  It’s not fancy by any means, but it works for those days when we have a craving but I’m feeling lazy in the kitchen. You know what’s great about this enchilada casserole?  (Besides everything.)  You don’t have to make the enchilada sauce and you don’t have to roll tortillas.  Don’t get me wrong, there is a …

Peanut Butter Crunch Bars

Tina16 Comments

Are you obsessed with peanut butter?  How about Butterfinger candy bars?  If yes, then I think I may have made your Friday.     🙂 My goal here was to create a dessert with loads of peanut butter power.  There’s some chocolate going on here and some subtle graham flavor, but let’s be real, it’s mostly a peanut butter flavored party.  I had the idea to add Butterfinger bars to a no-bake peanut butter layer.  I figured it would be a winner because let’s face it, peanut butter + peanut butter flavored candy bar = awesome.  Also who doesn’t love the “crispety, crunchety” texture of Butterfingers? …

Homemade Turtles

Tina18 Comments

A random act of kindness goes a long way.  My grandma has been on my mind lately so I wanted to do something nice for her, for no reason aside from the fact that I love her. I decided to whip something for her.  She loves anything with chocolate and nuts, so making these turtle candies for her seemed like a no brainer.  I mean who doesn’t like to receive a box of chocolates?  Especially when they are your favorite kind.     😉 These candies are super duper easy to make… with a few simple techniques that I’ve learned along the way that I’m …
