~Chocolate Covered Cherry Oatmeal Cookies!

Have you found a way to make everyone in your life happy??  If so, please tell me the secret..lol!  Especially when it comes to food, everyone has their likes, dislikes, textures, flavors, and colors..oh my gosh.  It’s not usually a problem to accommodate, unless it’s a weekday morning and the race to get fed and outContinue Reading

~Tamale Stuffing!

Here I go again, putting a Southwest spin on a traditional favorite dish!  I think that being an almost “Native New Mexican” gives me the right to do that dontcha agree..say yes!  Changing things up is always nice and maybe some new tasty traditions can be started along the way! This dish isn’t just divine, butContinue Reading

~Peanut Butter Lava Cookies!

I think the only thing better than Peanut Butter, is warm, ooey-gooey Peanut Butter.  Like when you make Peanut Butter Toast and those liquidy puddles of Peanut Butter take your senses to a simple, yet, complex state of taste bud euphoria!   There’s almost nothing better! Uhh…almost!  Now imagine being able to grab all of that meltyContinue Reading

~Salted Caramel Sour Cream Cake!

You might not be able to tell by looking at this cake now, but it was totally born out of rejects.  Well, rejects may be a bit harsh, more like frustration…lol!  It was “clean out the pantry & fridge” day, and I was in one of my throw everything away moods.  That’s the mood that ifContinue Reading

~Margarita Guacamole!

The very second that I heard about this magnificent Margarita/snack mash-up, I just knew I had to bring it to life!  What a beautifully strange snack this is, in the best way ever! ~And just in time for Cinco De Mayo! It’s almost as if the Margarita and Guacamole were meant to be together, and noContinue Reading

~Fried Zucchini Ribbons!

This one is super simple!  We all, or I hope we ALL, love Fried Zucchini, so all I did here was make it super thin for extreme crispiness!  These ruffled Ribbons are the equivalent of those prized, and rare dark burnt Chips floating around in the Potato Chip bag!  I simply wanted a pile of only theContinue Reading

~Crab Cake Dip!

I’ve learned that there are two types of people in this world.  There are those who think it’s just fine to come over to your house anytime of the day or night without using one of the gazillion forms of technology available to let you know they’re coming.  And then there are those  with manners who ummm…call first. Continue Reading

~Fro-Yo Cookie Sundae!

Every school day, at around 3 o’clock in the afternoon, the same thing happens at my house.  The front door flies open and in walks a starving child…my child!  To look at her at that moment, you’d think she hasn’t seen food in days..lol!  Bags get dropped, jacket is on the floor and she’s hitting the kitchenContinue Reading

~Creme Brulee {stuffed} French Toast!

Creating this 5 star breakfast made me feel like I was one step closer to owning that quaint little Bed & Breakfast, listed at #1 on my bucket list.  It sits on a Vineyard somewhere in the Napa Valley, where I spend all day on my wrap around porch, creating recipes and contemplating the meaning of life..haha!Continue Reading

~Donut Hole Kabobs!

  Good Morning~ Today I have for you a healthy breakfast, yes it’s healthy..you don’t doubt me do you..hmm?!  It’s a breakfast filled with healthy FRUIT, yep fruit!  Nutritious, good-for-you fruit….nestled in between a few umm..Donut Holes.  Donut Holes that just seem to be drizzled with errr..Raspberry Glaze.  Eh, so what, the fruit will cancel out thoseContinue Reading
