No-bake Cheesecake

May 31st, 2023Tina0 Comments

I have never made a no-bake cheesecake before. Boy, I was missing out. You know what’s great about a cheesecake that doesn’t require actually baking it? Everything. You don’t need to turn on the oven (which is especially a good thing on hot days). You don’t have to wonder if you overcooked it or undercooked it. You don’t have to be annoyed about cracks on the top of the cheesecake. A no-bake cheesecake is not a lot of fuss and is just pretty awesome. This no-bake cheesecake tastes like a traditional baked cheesecake. The graham cracker crust is basically the …

Chicken and Peppers with Crispy Feta Cheese

April 26th, 2023Tina0 Comments

What’s for dinner? I’m sure you’ve heard or said that question a million times. I constantly feel like I’m eating the same dinners and that gets boring. I feel like there are only so many ways to make chicken but I found a new one. It probably doesn’t help that I’m picky with chicken so a lot of recipes don’t excite me. This chicken meal was amazing and that’s saying a lot coming from someone with very high standards. I love the warm spices on the chicken and peppers and it’s super easy to make, which is a awesome especially …

Glazed Lemon Cookies

April 19th, 2023Tina0 Comments

Guys, would you believe that these are the first lemon cookies that I’ve baked? I don’t count the lemon bars (because they’re “bar cookies”). I’m not drawn to lemon desserts, even though I do enjoy them, so I guess they’re just not on my mind. However, with it being time for Spring and Easter celebrations I knew that a lemon cookie would be the perfect addition to a cookie platter. Here enters these heavenly pillows of lemony goodness. When I read reviews of most lemon cookie recipes, I see comments like, “these are not lemony” or “these are too lemony.” …

Rice Pudding (Rizogalo)

April 12th, 2023Tina2 Comments

This rice pudding is life changing. I shared a different recipe for rice pudding in 2020, a recipe that I made a few times and loved. My husband was not a fan of that recipe though. He said that the rice was too firm and the pudding texture was off. That’s one opinion versus the many complimentary ones so I just took it that he wasn’t a fan. To each their own. I couldn’t shake my husband’s comment so when I found this recipe for rice pudding, I knew that I needed to try it. I wanted to compare it …

Little Carrot Cake

April 5th, 2023Tina0 Comments

If you are looking for the perfect carrot cake but in a little version, then this is it. Last year I shared a recipe for carrot cake, which in its normal size and glory was a huge hit. I wanted the same exact deliciousness but a smaller version of it. Thanks to my handy husband, he scaled the recipe down to this 6 inch cutie. This carrot cake is so moist and delicious. It’s a pure carrot cake at its finest, meaning that there are no raisins, nuts, coconut, pineapple, or other similar ingredients that you might find in carrot …
