In my kitchen there's one product you'll almost always find hanging out in the refrigerator and that's Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. I've found that it's a universal product that I can use for breakfast, lunch, dinner and my personal favorite, dessert. Whether I'm rolling one up with cheese and sausage crumbles for breakfast or just tossing a basket of them on the table for dinner, it's a product that everyone in our … [Read more...]
Last month I was introduced to these oh-so-tasty International Delight Iced Coffee flavors that hit the dairy section of Walmart and Sam's Club on January 15th. Just to refresh you ... these iced coffees are a pre-mixed and sweetened iced coffee that is ready to pour over ice, no need to brew or measure anything. Well, ever since I made that White Chocolate Caramel Mocha Cookie Iced Coffee Chiller, I've been … [Read more...]
The other day I read a blog post that melted my heart and inspired me all in one shot. That's not an easy task for someone as cynical as I tend to be. I created a recipe for a fried Parmesan Crusted Potato Cake that a good blogging friend was inspired to try and even make it her own as Panko Crusted Potato Cake with Pan Fried Chicken and Garlic Lemon Caper Sauce. Sounds delish right? Well, it looks even better and … [Read more...]
When I was a little kid (not really all that long ago it feels) my mom use to take my to a little bakery called Jubelt's. Back then the bakery was thriving and serving up one of my favorite cookies in the whole world ... Tea Cookies. Today, the bakery has since moved on and away to Litchfield, IL. The distance hasn't stopped me though. Just last week we packed up the kids for a little 50 mile road trip to pick up … [Read more...]
This past weekend I did some major cleaning in my kitchen, especially in the bakeware department. Over the years I collected so many pans and sheets that they outgrew my cabinets and ended up in several plastic bins, big ones. It got so ridiculous I just started throwing stuff out, especially the specialty pans that never got used more than once. But when I came across my Wilton Donut baking pan, I couldn't bring … [Read more...]
When I first ran into this recipe for Chocolate Crinkles I was in awe. The powdered sugar cracks and dark chocolate contrast had me instantly in love and I was desperate to try them ... weeks ago. Life got in the way as it always does though. After I finally managed to get all of the ingredients it took me another week to find the time to just make the batter. I figured that might sit in the fridge for another … [Read more...]
Earlier this week I was talking with my mom about holiday desserts, specifically pies. I was trying to decide on a dessert for Christmas Eve dinner but wanted to get away from the pumpkin, apple, pecan pies. I wanted something different and that's when she reminded me she use to make custard pies when I was growing up. For some reason, I have zero recollection of these pies, what they smelled like or even tasted … [Read more...]
Growing up, I remember eating tapioca pudding on occasion. It was a treat that my big sister would sometimes make for me. But oddly, I haven't had it since, unless you count the pre-packaged pudding cups which are rather horrendous in comparison. So when I ran into these packages of Reese small pearl tapioca I knew I had to at least try it. I thought it would be nice to have a little bit of my childhood at the family … [Read more...]
This post brought to you by Avocados from Mexico. All opinions are 100% mine. You may not know this (and kudos if you do) but Avocados, the creamy green fruit is packed with potassium, fiber, folate, vitamin C, E and those B-complex vitamins that support memory and brain function. This not only makes this an excellent snack fruit for kids but a great choice for parents seeking to make better nutritional … [Read more...]
Holiday desserts are one of my favorite things about the holiday season. It's the one time of year I don't feel bad indulging in the sweeter things in life. One of those sweet things is apple pie! No matter how you make it, what kind of apples you use or even what unique flavors you make it with, one thing is certain, it always tastes better with ice cream. This holiday season I'll be sharing my scrumptious … [Read more...]
