: Life is hard. God is good. We need each other.
Super simple. Yummy. Feeds a crowd.
You are going to want to hold on to this one.
We hosted our second and final graduation party last weekend. (One week after we geniusly decided to hold a yard sale…not the best decision!)
My eldest son had requested jambalaya for his grad party. It was delish, but when my currently graduating son requested hot dogs and chips for his party, I was not disappointed at the ease of this menu.
Dates are a super nutritious natural sweetener full of caramelly good flavor. Pureeing them into this delicious date paste makes them easy to use in lots of ways.
Dates used to scare me. I hate to say it, but I always thought they looked like cockroaches. Ick- not interested.
But then I read how many nutrients there are in dates. Interested.
Then I heard that when pureed, dates become a caramel-like elixir. Very interested.
So of course I had to give them a try. I was sold immediately. And although I still think they look like cockroaches (they do!) I’m a big fan and frequently have a jar of date paste in my fridge.
Let me tell you how I make it and how I use it. I know you’re gonna want to try it too.
This easy quiche recipe is perfect for a light meal, serving overnight guests, and is an ideal freezer meal. Whether you pop it right in the oven or make it ahead, this is one recipe you will come back to again and again.
Eggs are cheap. But somehow mixing them with other goodies and baking them in a pie crust makes them taste fancy.
I am a big fan of recipes that you can customize, and quiche fits that bill perfectly. My favorite is ham and green onion with lots of cheese. But it’s delish with veggies like spinach, too. Or even kind of plain with just a little onion and cheese. Sky’s the limit!
These chipotle chicken taquitos freeze beautifully and bake up crispy and delicious. Perfect to pull out for a quick lunch or weeknight dinner.
Sometimes all you need to do is change one little thing to take a recipe over the top.
There are lots of recipes for freezer taquitos out there. I tried a few and made them several times to have on hand for my husband and I for lunch. All of the recipes I tried called for a can of chopped green chiles. And they were good. Fine.
We liked them, but when I made the switch from green chiles to chipotles— revolutionary!
An easy and delicious chocolate bundt cake that is perfect to bring to a potluck, make for a coffee date, after school snack, or just because.
No story about how moist and delicious this simple cake is. Sorry. No long intro about how leftovers are the best with a cup of coffee or an afternoon snack. Nope. Not even an anecdote about how it’s the perfect easy recipe to make for potlucks.
I will tell you a few things, though.
Peanut butter. Butterscotch. Cornflakes.
That’s all you need for this rich and tasty no-bake cookie. We like to add sprinkles, since they are a Christmas cookie staple. And I mean staple…My youngest told me recently that we could nix any other cookie from our annual Christmas cookie menu before skipping this treat.
My two cookie contributions this year were these gems and white chocolate dipped Oreos, another non-negotiable if you ask my family.
