Layered Brownies

If you’re looking for a rich, decadent dessert, these brownies would be perfect. They’re not in any way good for you, but they taste so absolutely delicious, it doesn’t even matter. Thick fudgy brownies, cream cheese frosting, and a chocolate...

Baked Pineapple

This is possibly the perfect Easter side dish. I suppose if I was an “on the ball” food blogger, I would have made this in advance, posted it sometime in the weeks leading up to Easter, and encouraged you...

Chicken Sausage and Pepper Sandwiches

I’m on a quest to find some quick, easy and healthy dinner ideas. Over the winter it was easy to make a big pot of soup, or a batch of spaghetti sauce on the weekend that we could eat...

Marinara Sauce

I think I mentioned before that I’m part Italian. I grew up eating my grandma’s, and then my mom’s homemade spaghetti sauce. There was always sauce in the freezer ready to be defrosted for a quick dinner. To me,...

Cinnamon Roll Cookies

Cookies that taste like cinnamon rolls? This just might be the best cookie idea I’ve seen in a long time. I got the recipe from a fellow blogger, Picky Palate, and I’m so impressed that she came up with this! It’s a basic...

Asparagus with Goat Cheese Dressing

It’s no secret that we love asparagus. It’s by far the vegetable of choice in our house. When it’s on sale, we’ve been known to eat it 3-4 times a week. I love eating it piping hot, as soon...
