Last weekend we kicked off college football season. That gets me in the mood for party foods, appetizers, and dips! Today I decided to create a round up of dips, but rather than serving these next to your chips, veggies, and hot wings, you’ll need to put out some cookies and fruits to dip in. That’s right! All of today’s dips are Dessert Dips! Yum! Hope you enjoy these! [Read more…]
The summer will soon be drawing to a close, but it’s not too late to get in to some summer recipes for those of end of summer and Labor Day barbecues. Recently I received a sample of Carapelli Olive Oil, and they also sent me some great recipes for the summer time, which I’m happy to share with you today.
By they way, olive oil also has a lot of health benefits and has a lower fat and calorie content in comparison to vegetable oil, so if you were looking to start off the school year a little more healthy, the addition of olive oil to recipes would be a simple place to start. [Read more…]
In my neck of the woods, school is starting back next week. (Where did the summer go, right?) So when it comes time for the back to school season, I always like to post about breakfast ideas, because you know, it’s a new school year, and everyone is energized and wants to start out the year on a good note, with hot, yummy breakfasts, before sliding back into good ol’ quick & easy cereal. (hehe)
So for this week, I decided to do a round up of muffin recipes, because muffins are so versatile. You could come up with literally a million different flavors. They’re also great for a make ahead breakfast; they’re great for a grab-and-go breakfast, and they’re also make after school snacks and even desserts! Hope you enjoy! [Read more…]
Today I have an amazingly simple treat for you! Growing up, I absolutely LOVED banana pudding in the summer time! Last year I tried Chick-Fil-A’s Banana Pudding Milkshake and was absolutely in love, but of course, they only had it for a limited time. So this spring I found myself basking in the glory of Zaxby’s Banana Pudding Milkshake, which is just as equally delicious! I now hear that it will be a permanent menu item at Zaxby’s….and indeed, they’ve just now brought back the shake at Chick-Fil-A (again, for a limited time).
But the other day I decided that I wanted to make my own. I remembered trying some banana pudding ice cream by Blue Belle years ago, so I went to Wal-Mart with high hopes and was very excited to find this ice cream in my freezer. Yay! Now I can have a banana pudding milkshake any time I want, and I get a lot more shake for my buck!
By the way, I made this shake using my Ninja
Pizza is one of my favorite foods! It’s so yummy and versatile. My favorite kind is covered in meat, especially pepperoni, ham, and bacon! But I also love just a good old fashioned pepperoni pizza or a plain cheese. And I also love chicken pizza, especially Buffalo Chicken!

As spring is under way and summer is right around the the corner, it got me to thinking about cool refreshments. And what could be more refreshing than a nice, cool smoothie? And they’re generally pretty healthy too, right? So with all this in mind, I decided to collect 12 Smooth Recipes for you. And I think you’ll find a lot of variety here. These definitely go beyond the usual strawberry smoothie or strawberry banana smoothie. (Not that those aren’t great!) Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
