Once I was at my mother in-law’s house and she was baking thin slices of sweet potatoes. They looked and smelled so good. I think they lasted about 10 seconds. Ever since then, these thinly sliced potatoes baked with a little bit of salt has been a family favorite in our house. They have been…
Chocolate Chipotle Chili
If you read my previous post, you will know that I competed in a chocolate and chili cook off as a church activity. Every one brought either a chocolate treat or a chili. I brought one of each. Although, I kind of colored out side of the lines and threw a little chocolate into my…
Chocolate Cake with Malted Ganache and Toasted Marshmallow Frosting
Last Friday I attended a Chocolate and Chili Cook Off for a church activity. Every one brought either a chocolate dish, a chili dish, or one of each. It was so much fun tasting all the different delicious chocolate dishes. There were brownies, cookies, fudge, truffles, and many other items of deliciousness. The snickers fudge…
Valentine’s Day Breakfast: Malted Waffles with Strawberry Syrup
Pin It Perhaps you’re looking for ideas for the perfect Valentine’s Day morning surprise… or maybe you should send this post to your significant other as a hint (*wink). In all seriousness, my husband absolutely loves malt powder (it doesn’t usually last long in our house), and I thought it would be fun to give…
Chickpea Veggie Soup with Smoked Paprika (GIVEAWAY!!!)
I know most foodie bloggers are posting super bowl recipes right now, but most super bowl recipes are heavy, fatty, and greasy. When you think “game day”, don’t you think chicken wings, burgers, chips, soda? I do too, but this year I am still going strong with my new year’s resolutions, believe it or not….
Texas Roadhouse Roll’s
For some reason I panic when people ask me to bring rolls to events. I guess it is because I have had so many flops when it comes to making rolls. For thanksgiving, the rolls that I had made 3 times before with success, turned out hard and dense and flat. I don’t know why,…
Baked Kale Chips
You have probably heard of these before. They are all over the blogosphere. I had to give them a try. They are thin and crispy and have way less calories than a potato chip. You can crush them up and sprinkle on top of popcorn. You can season them with what ever floats your boat….
Orecchiette with Kale, Bacon, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
If you read my last post, you will be happy to know that I’m still going strong with my New Year’s resolutions. Aside from one trip to Buffalo Wild Wings to celebrate a friend’s birthday, we have made healthy meals and exercised almost everyday this week. The recipe that I am sharing with you…
Eating Healthy: Baked Brussels Sprouts, Parsnips, and Bacon
Last week I thought New Year’s resolutions were cliché. I wasn’t even going to make any because I knew I was going to fail miserably. In the past I would make a ton of resolutions and after a day or two I realized I couldn’t keep it up and so I completely gave up. So…
Cookies and Cream Pudding Poke Cake
Guess what I’m doing right now. I’m multitasking. I’m watching Cake Boss, writing about cake, editing cake pictures, and eating cake. It’s pretty awesome. I knew I had to make this cake when I saw it on Pintrist. It is so easy. And I would much rather have pudding smothering my cake than frosting. And…
