Garlic and Herb Roasted Chicken

If you read my post a long, long time ago about cornish game hens, this is pretty much the exact same recipe, except with a regular sized chicken.  I made three of these puppies for our Mother’s Day celebration this year, and everyone just loved it!  The chicken really absorbs the flavors of the garlic, […]

Chocolate Pecan Bars

These.  Are.  Delicious.  Sinfully delicious.  And rich.  And decadent.  I first made these at Thanksgiving with my Mother in Law, but I didn’t have my camera so I didn’t blog it then.  They were so good though – Tim’s sister even said it was the best thing she ever ate – that I knew I’d […]

Peanut Butter Banana Surprise II

Are you still as full from Thanksgiving as I am?  I mean, we had four Thanksgiving meals in three days.  That’s gotta be some kind of record.  I don’t imagine you want to read about some big meal right now, so I figured I’d post something that’s kind of healthy and light.  This is a […]

Celebrate National Guacamole Day with Guacamole Grilled Cheese!

Actually, it’s National Spicy Guacamole Day, if you want to be technical, but…meh.  I love guacamole, so I am excited to celebrate this food holiday!  I already have other plans for dinner, but since I eat Mexican food at least once a week, I’ll surely make up for it soon! To help you celebrate such […]

A Peanut Butter Treat to Beat the Heat

Since it’s been like a million degrees lately, I’m sure you really don’t want to turn on your oven.  Never fear, we can get our peanut butter fix without heating up the house.  These little peanut butter squares taste an awful lot like Reese’s and are quite addictive (consider yourself forewarned).  They’re really easy too, […]

Two-For Tuesday

Get your dental floss ready because ’tis the time of year to enjoy some sweet corn.  If you live in the Midwest like me, you can find it for 20-25 cents per ear right now, and it’s super sweet, very flavorful, and extremely tender and juicy.  There are many, many different ways you can prepare […]

Happy National Grilled Cheese Month!

I feel like I owe you all an apology because I have known for weeks that April is National Grilled Cheese month, and here it is April 24th and I’m just now posting a grilled cheese recipe. This is a travesty, especially considering how much I love grilled cheese.  Well, I hope you have been […]

Peanut Butter Banana French Toast

I think Elvis would be proud.  This is the new breakfast of champions. I don’t even know what else to say about this recipe except that you have to try it.  It’s UH-MAZE-ING.  So delicious and decadent.  It’s perfect for a weekend brunch.  And it’s easy.  I’d bet you already have all of the ingredients on hand. […]

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

Here I go again with the peanut butter and chocolate.  Recently, a friend pinned this recipe with a subtle suggestion that I should make these cupcakes, and I was pretty easily convinced.  They just looked so good, and you know how I am with peanut butter and chocolate.  The only thing was I wanted there […]
