Usually I dread the time change. I know you “get” an extra hour, but then it gets dark early and I just feel like I lose out somehow. Not this time! I woke up last Sunday so refreshed. I usually work later on Sundays so I had so much extra time to play in the […]
Nacho Cheese Burgers
I have been craving a plate of nachos lately. Unfortunately, Patrick is not a big fan of tortilla chips so I am always trying to come up with a new spin on nachos. Homemade nacho cheese is what makes this fantastic burger. Fresh garlic and jalapenos sauteed before adding in sharp cheddar and monteray jack. […]
Salty Olive and Cheddar Bread
Something about fresh baked bread just gives my house such a homey feel. We do not eat a lot of bread believe it or not which is really hard on my Italian roots. My mother makes some of the greatest bread I have ever had. Growing up we always had home made yeast rolls with […]
Witch Cakes- Coca Cola Cupcakes With A Surprise!
Happy Halloween! Today’s post is going to be super short and sweet! I just had to get this yummy recipe up before the day was over! I made this cupcakes with my all time favorite coca cola cake recipe then stuffed them with coca cola ganache then topped them off with a perfect cream cheese […]
Caramel Chocolate Cake With Nutella Frosting
Halloween treats are my favorite kinds of desserts to make! This Caramel Chocolate Cake is no different. I used a basic chocolate cake batter and elevated it with layers of salted caramel, nutella frosting, and sugar glass shards. I will warn you- these sugar shards were pretty sharp. They taste awesome, but I removed them […]
Nutella Caramel Fudge Brownies
I know – who do I think I am posting two Nutella recipes in a row? I just cannot help myself! I have no idea how I have somehow lumped Nutella and the fall season together. Something about this cocoa hazelnut spread just has my taste buds singing! I also needed a reason to use […]
Cinnamon Toast Crunch French Toast
I very rarely eat cereal, but we seem to always have it on hand. Publix had a huge Cinnamon Toast Crunch display and I just couldn’t resist buying a box. I have been toying with the idea of using it in a french toast dish. After I made this Challah bread I knew exactly what […]
Caramel Corn Apple Stuffed Cupcakes
I am so excited for the fall season! This is my first official Halloween post. I have so many things happening this month that I can’t wait to share! These caramel corn apple stuffed cupcakes look complicated, but actually didn’t take me long at all. I started with a vanilla cupcake and added cinnamon apples, […]
Po Boys with Yum Yum Sauce
I know I know. Another FRIED CHICKEN RECIPE!? I promise this is different. You can swap the chicken out for white fish or shrimp, but we just happened to have chicken on hand. Did I mention that once a month I load up on every cut of chicken and beef I can find and freeze […]
Spicy Beef Ramen Bowl
Ramen is one of those super comforting foods that we turn to for an easy dinner. Long gone are the days when we fill our foam cups with water and wait for noodles to soften. While dressing up a ramen packet is not new to me, this is definitely a more sophisticated approach. I am […]
