I am very excited to spend my Halloween with my nephew tonight. He is 16 months old now and I cant wait to see him dressed in his costume, a garden gnome!
I offered to bring a dessert tonight, so I figured I should go with a Halloween theme. I received this recipe from a friend. I slightly altered the recipe: I used Oreo® cookies instead of Heath® bars and I eliminated the coffee. I added a few touches: gummy worms and Milano® cookies… and VIOLA, my very own chocolate trifle graveyard!!
I love all things dessert; however, I’ve been trying to be good lately. I can’t give up sweets completely, so instead I decided to incorporate more fresh fruit!
With the number of recent heat waves, I have been craving refreshing, cold treats each night. I found this recipe on one of my go-to recipe websites. I had all the ingredients, I just needed popsicle molds. I found these popsicle molds on Amazon, but honestly, the serving size is a bit much for me. I wish I went with something slightly smaller.
In the end, the recipe is delicious! I can’t wait to try out more popsicle recipes!
My nephew has arrived! Mom and baby Liam are doing wonderful.
I am so happy to be an aunt. Every time I see a cute outfit, I can’t resist purchasing it. However, now that Liam is here, I can’t forget that mom and dad have their hands full now and may need a little assistance.
Homemade Blueberry Muffin recipe here. Lasagna, garlic knots, and salad purchased from the amazing Carlino’s. Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies, recipe here. Pampers diapers and wipes.
According to the radio, today is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day! Which is very fitting as I already planned to make chocolate chip cookies today for a pot luck dinner with my girls tomorrow.
I first saw this recipe on a blog post by Cupcakes and Cashmere (fabulous blog, highly recommend). The fact that everyone is calling this recipe “the best,” I had to try it.
The results… they weren’t lying!!!!!!! Ah-mazing!
I didn’t have parchment paper so I used Pam spray.
This week I made Turkey Chili for the big Eagles/Redskins game. I got the recipe from a friend. I served it with shredded cheddar cheese and fresh Italian bread. It was amazing.
1. In a 3-quart saucepan cook and stir ground beef or turkey, bell pepper, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and the garlic over medium heat until meat is brown and onion is tender. Drain off fat.
2. Stir in tomato sauce, undrained beans, undrained tomatoes, chili powder, salt, basil, and black pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, cover for 20 minutes. To serve, ladle chili into bowls. If desired, top each serving with cheese, chopped onion, and/or sour cream and crushed red pepper.
This past Christmas, I received a crock pot. I never knew what I was missing until recently. My mother gave me a pork shoulder that she bought from the store. I decided to try out my crock pot for the first time by making pulled pork sandwiches with the pork shoulder. Not to toot my own horn, but they were amazing! So simple, yet so delicious!
If anyone has any great slow cooker recipes… please share! I’d love to try them.
