Fried Pasta Stix

I came up with this recipe as a way of using up some leftover cooked lasagna noodles. I love the crunchy baked ends of lasagna! That is exactly what this tastes like when dipped into your favorite pasta sauce!

Spicy Beer Bread

 I have been looking for the perfect Beer Bread recipe for a long time! I definitely found it with this next recipe! I love how easy this is to make with just a few simple ingredients! This bread is nice and hearty with a slightly sweet and slightly spicy touch! The beer flavor comes through perfectly!

S'mores Kiss Cups!

I love S'mores and have tried many different variations of this classic recipe! So why not try one more?

Easy Oven Luau Ribs!

This is one of those rare recipes that makes you do a happy dance after you taste it! I was shown this recipe by a foodie friend named Michelle Conner!
She found this recipe in an old 1979 cookbook put out by the American Martyrs Catholic church in Manhattan Beach, Ca....called 'Recipes and Remembrances'.

Upside-Down Pizza and a Giveaway!

An easy and unique way to make a delicious pizza in less than 45 minutes! No yeast dough to make!

Cheesecake Dip!

I love a good sweet, creamy, cheesecake any day! But sometimes I just don't have the time to whip one up! And when my cheesecake craving hits, I want it fast! So, I went looking through my pantry and fridge to see if I could come up with a way to get an instant fix! I was very pleased with the results of my experiment!

Amazing 4 Ingredient Slow Cooker Chicken!

This is one of those seriously scrumptious easy meals that you just want to gobble up and lick the plate clean! And the best part is how easy it is to make and contains easy to find ingredients!! Prep time is 5 minutes! And you don't even have to defrost the chicken! 

Garlic and Lemon Chicken with Green Beans and Potatoes!

This is one of those easy baked meals that you just assemble and forget about until it's dinner time! Everything bakes in one pan! Lots of flavor with little effort...my favorite kind of recipe!

Campfire Banana Boats!

This is a great summer time recipe because it's made on the grill or campfire! But this can also be made in the oven! I loved this and will be making it many more times because I want to experiment with lots of different toppings! The possibilities are endless! The main toppings are marshmallows and chocolate chips! Then just add whatever else you like!

Simple and Crisp Trail Mix

I love snacking on food that not only tastes good but is good for me too! It makes me feel good about what I'm eating while it cures my need to munch! Sometimes my snack ends up being a quick meal when I'm in a hurry...like for breakfast!

Having an easy homemade trail mix is so much better than store bought because it's made with only the things I want! Some store bought trial mixes contain items that don't appeal to me and that aren't really healthy like pretzels, or salty peanuts! And for some reason store bought trial mixes usually have stale, hard, raisins in them...not appealing at all!

3 Ingredient Cobbler!

I was so interested in this recipe because it just seemed too good to be true! I was shown this recipe by my Facebook friend, Chip Stanley, when he posted on my wall!

Onion Pie

Here is another savory pie that I tried and loved! There is a lovely contrast of flavors with the sweet onions and the buttery cracker crust! I couldn't stop eating this pie! And it's so VERY so easy to make! It only takes about an hour from start to finish! 

BLT Dip...My New Favorite Dip! And Low Fat Too!

 

I am so excited about this new dip I discovered!!! I love BLT's...so this dip is right up my alley! I often use it as a sandwich spread! It's so much easier to just have this dip all ready to go instead of assembling a traditional BLT sandwich every day! And believe me, you will want to eat this every day!

Caprese Stuffed Tomatoes!

With the warm summer days approaching I'm always looking for new cold dishes to prepare! I love fresh tomato recipes, especially when garlic and mozzarella are involved!

The Best Marinade for London Broil!

I don't usually eat grilled London broil because it just never has enough flavor for me! Well, that was until I tried this marinade!

Crunchy Smokey Pork Chops

This recipe below was born from my cravings! I love any food that is smoked or has a smokey flavor! I crave smokey foods ALL the time...I must have been a cave woman in another life!

Philly Cheese Steak Spaghetti

I love making classic recipes with a new twist! This worked perfectly! This tastes just like a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich with spaghetti instead of a hero roll. Use wheat pasta if you're looking to cut down on carbs.

Honey Dijon Roasted Potatoes

Easy, simple, and delicious potato side dishes make me so happy because it's so hard for me to think of what to serve with every meal! And I just get so bored with the usual mashed potatoes or basic oven fries! A green vegetable side dish is so easy because I always have some sort of frozen variety laying around! But the starchy side dish always has me looking for something interesting! This next recipe was just what I needed!

Garlic Parmesan Wonton Crackers

I am loving the many things you can do with wonton and egg roll wrappers, such as...
Frickles...Smoked Sausage Egg Rolls...Apple Pie Egg Rolls with a Caramel Drizzle and Sloppy Joe Egg Rolls! Such an easy and versatile product!

Then I came across this recipe called Baked Wonton Chips.

Antipasto Fritters!

Recipe **here**

This is a recipe I created for an assignment I had this month through the **Allrecipes.com Allstar Program**  I was asked to create a recipe using Sargento Shredded Cheese. I mentioned this assignment in this recent blog post here. This was a VERY easy assignment because I'm Italian...and what red blooded Italian doesn't like Sargento cheese!
