Cheesy Chicken, Bacon and Avocado Quesadillas
What is it about bacon & avocado that I absolutely love?? And these quesadillas… with their buttery, crispy, heavenly tortilla shells… are seriously yum. Don’t let the green scare ya, avocados have a really delicious taste. I promise they’re not just thrown in to “healthify” this recipe!
Holiday Cookie Round-up
Alright holiday lovers and fall time nesters, since high baking season is in full swing I thought I would take the time before we launch into 2012 holiday cookies to do a round up of some of my favorite cookies from last year. I know many of you were not here last year, so I’m sharing what you missed and hopefully a few of these will make it into your holiday cookie rotation. Along with sharing cookies, we need to address something here. Something I’ve addressed before but as of lately its gone from bad to worse: my writing. Some of you know what I’m talking about, for those that don’t let me quickly synopsize it by sharing what someone asked me other day, “Are you texting with your toes?”
Kerala Parotha, a Flakey South-Indian Flatbread
There are a million good reasons to visit South India. The people, for one, are amazing – warm-hearted, generous, and absolutely vibrant in culture. Then there’s the setting – think, the most amazing beaches you have ever seen. Tropical trees heavily laden with sweet fruit. Winding waterways through villages, making it a “Venice of the East”. But even if none of that existed, I would still make the trek for one inimitable pleasure – flakey, buttery parotha and a creamy curry, consumed without such complications as plates or cutlery, but rather with a banana leaf and bare fingers – and a good dose of utter, shameless delight.
15 Ways to Eat a Cold Salad for Supper Recipe Roundup
Previous image Next image It feels unoriginal, at the mid-point of summer, to complain about the weather. There are probably more important things to talk about. And yet, when the heat is cranked to 104° and its muggy weight presses down every time you step outdoors, it's hard to think about anything else. I know what I'm not thinking about: turning on the stove!
Creamy Garlic Shells
Creamy Garlic Shells are made with fridge and pantry staples, come together in about 15 minutes, and are pasta-packet (and funky preservative) free! Confession: I have to physically avert my eyes every time I pass the pasta sides packets in the grocery store. You know the ones. They come in mouthwatering flavors like Creamy Chicken (a personal favorite of mine in college,) Butter & Herb (yes & yes), and Broccoli Cheddar (everybody’s fave,) and are seriously like, $.88 a packet. You can’t beat that with a stick!
Nutella Cinnamon Rolls
May 10, 2011 | Print | E-mail | Filed under bread, nutella There are some days that I just lose my appetite. It might be because of my mood, or that nothing sounds good, or that I’m in a food rut again and need to spice things up a bit. When my appetite comes back though, what I’m inevitably craving is some sort of comfort food. Yesterday happened to be one of those days, and by the end of the day all I could think about was a warm cinnamon roll fresh from the oven. Fortunately, over the weekend I whipped up a batch of my go-to recipe…only this time, I halved the recipe so that I’d only get 3 pans of rolls instead of 6.
Homemade Butterfingers
I don't eat a lot of candy, but I l♥ve Butterfingers. When I saw this recipe on the Taste of Home forums, I knew I had to give it a try. Everyone on the board said it tasted just like a real Butterfinger. The best part - this recipe only has three ingredients! How can you make a Butterfinger with only three ingredients?? Well, the secret ingredient is candy corn!

Party Food! Pizza in a Bite
October 20th, 2008 by katie Getting together to watch a game? Or maybe watching a different sort of game? Pizza bites are awesome party food. This recipe makes three trays which means you can pop them in the freezer and always have a quick appetizer on hand. Although, they are usually so popular that you’ll wind up baking all three trays in one night!
Pizza Stuffed Pretzels
I saw these on the Betty Crocker website one day & immediately began drooling! So I set out in the grocery store - without the recipe I might add, forgetful me.... - to gather ingredients and have some fun with dinner! The ingredient line-up.... You can of course use any pizza toppings you want, I went with simplicity for the first try. {I already have another plan of alredo, chicken and mozzarells stuffed pretzels....} Note: I did cut the pepperoni into smaller strips:
