You are going to need some very special skills to make these chicken tacos. Namely: the ability to open a jar (or find a cute boy to do it for you) and the ability to push a button. So, those without opposable thumbs, sorry. Seriously, these are so easy to make it is almost embarrassing. […]
As you may remember, my mom made me a Ding Dong cake for my birthday. Well, kind of. The thing is, I love the combination of chocolate and marshmallow. So I didn’t really care about having the chocolate ganache at the top. I just wanted lots of marshmallow-y goodness all over. This chocolate cake recipe […]
Hilary and Aaren would kill me if I didn’t post this recipe soon. So here we go. But don’t think you are going to get the recipe without a story. One of the cookbooks I use quite frequently (mainly because it has a lot of my mother’s recipes in it) is the Severna Park Newcomers […]
I grew up in Arizona and love Tex-Mex food. And there is this salsa chicken I make frequently that might be the easiest thing ever (recipe coming soon). So the plan for my birthday party was to make chicken tacos. But I figured people would also want some beef. I was trying to figure out […]
Sorry I have been a bit MIA! But, luckily for you it was my 30th birthday this weekend, which means tons of food and, of course, strawberry funfetti cupcakes. I love pink, I love rainbow sprinkles and I love strawberries. Plus it was an 80s party. So strawberry funfetti cupcakes were kind of a no-brainer. […]
My husband loves cherries. And as I may have mentioned, he told me that his only request for a Fourth of July dessert was that the secret ingredient be cherries. I did the cherries on a cloud, of course, but I had also purchased a big bag of fresh cherries. I could make a pie, […]
Pretty much every time I go to the grocery store, I see the bananas and think, “Maybe if I get these bananas, I will eat one of those for breakfast instead of a monster cookie.” Then I buy them, and the following happens: There are many things you can do with brown bananas. Banana-coconut muffins […]
This dessert is amazing. It doesn’t take a ton of actual work, but you do have to start making it about 24 hours before you want to serve it. And it is soooo worth it. Imagine cherry pie filling floating on a magical cloud of meringue, whipped cream and marshmallows. If you love sugar (and […]
I was originally going to make barbecue chicken the other day when our friends came over. But then I remembered I had a ton of pork tenderloins and a package of bacon in my freezer that I needed to use. What does that mean? Bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin, obviously. I learned this recipe in a cooking […]
I love sugar cookies. Love them. There is this family story that involves an elementary-school-age me spending hours arranging individual sprinkles on these miniature Christmas cookies so they would all be perfect (i.e. two blue sprinkles for eyes on an angel cookie, a few yellow sprinkles on her head for a halo). I am a […]
