My friend, Kristin, was talking at lunch one day at work about these chicken puffs she made. She makes them regularly for her family, and they devour them. Kristin is a great cook, and the puffs sounded delicious to me, so I wanted to try them. I am always looking for a way to get vegetables […]
A chocolate dessert made with avocado…it seems weird, I know. But you don’t taste the avocado at all! I swear! It just gives the fudge a decadent, smooth, butteriness that is to die for.

Since you’re reading this, I’m guessing you’re intrigued by the idea of homemade Nutella peanut butter ice cream. You might be thinking, Wow, that sounds outstanding! And without an ice cream maker? Great! But if you’re like me, you’re understandably skeptical. I bet it won’t taste right. Surely the texture will be all wrong. It’s […]
If there’s one food I could eat pretty much every day, it’s Mexican. I just love it! Tim didn’t much care for it when we first started dating, but he’s seen the light since he’s been with me. 😉 I first got the idea for this casserole from a Hungry Girl recipe. It seemed pretty […]
Superfood casserole might seem like an oxymoron to you. When you think of casseroles, you probably don’t think of superfoods, and vice versa. Well, let me just tell you how this recipe came about and then maybe it’ll make more sense. As you may know, we have a one-year old son, Wes (14 months, to be exact). He […]
I am so excited to share this recipe with you I don’t even know where to start! There are so many things I love about this dessert. I’ll start with the obvious, it is delicious! I recently made it for some family members we were having over for lunch, and everyone raved about it! Second, it is […]
