The other day my husband and I used up a gift card to the Macaroni Grill. We ordered the Goat Cheese Stuffed Peppadew Peppers. They were absolutely divine! The goat cheese wasn’t too strong and the peppers were sweet and soft. I decided to make my own version of this fancy appetizer. PRINTABLE RECIPE Ingredients:…

Blood Orange Soda (Homemade Soda Tutorial)
Sometimes when I am walking through the soda section at a grocery store, I wish they sold really unique flavors like peach, pear, rhubarb, kiwi, blueberry, pomegranate, watermelon, apple, etc.. True, you can get these flavors at some specialty stores, but they aren’t your basic soda flavors. Well, did you know that it is actually…

Pin It In the last post, I taught you how to make fresh pesto. Today I’m going to show you something you can do with the pesto. I have been watching Worst Cooks in America on Food Network. In the show they take people who are awful cooks and train them in the kitchen. These…
St. Patrick’s Day Green Pesto Sauce

Three-Cheese Baked Macaroni and Cheese with Kielbasa Sausage
Macaroni and cheese is the ultimate comfort food for me. I love it. I absolutely love it. Not the cheap blue-box kind, but the hearty homemade baked kind. Usually a good baked macaroni and cheese calls for a cheese sauce made from a white sauce roux (butter, flour, milk). This recipe that Brown Eyed Baker…
Green Tomatillo Salsa (Going Green!!)
Is it just me, or is everybody really hung up on “going green?” I decided to do my part on the “green” movement, and so I extrapolated the concept onto salsa. Ok ok. It’s not a new idea, but neither is recycling or conserving energy:) So, here it is… Ingredients: 3/4 lbs. tomatillo, peeled, washed…
Chocolate Buttermilk Frosting
I made this icing to top an amazing chocolate cake (recipe coming on June 25!!!). It was perfect for the cake, too perfect. I am having trouble keeping my mouth away from it! I made it for a potluck, but my husband got home from work late and we missed it. Now we have a…
