These are seriously addictive! Unfortunately, there isn’t a set “recipe” to follow, but I promise you can make them. And you are only limited by your imagination….but yes, I will list a few great flavor combos to tempt your palate. I get requests for these every year and some friends say they won’t be my […]
Slow Cooker Potato Chowder
This is the easiest chowder to make. I was skeptical that so few ingredients would turn out a great chowder, but indeed it did. It also makes great leftovers and freezes well too. Add a can of clams the second day, for a quick clam chowder. After all, that’s what the restaurants do. I just […]
Peppermint Mocha Cupcakes
Hubbyman’s birthday was this past weekend, so I decided to make up some yummy cupcakes. One of our favorite drinks is a Peppermint Mocha from Dutch Bros, so I wanted to put that into cupcake form. YUM! The cupcakes start off with a basic boxed mix and the frosting is inspired by Martha Stewart’s 7 […]
Oreo Turkeys
I just had to share these with you. Add them to your turkey day line up and all the kids will love you. Or have the kids make them while you finish getting the big supper on the table. We’ve been making these for years and the kids love to help. It’s a great way […]
Coffee-Drizzled Cream Cheese Pie
Since my party also featured the International Cafe coffee, I thought I would make a dessert using one of them. I pulled this recipe of Nabisco’s site too. It was easy and tasty. The additional of the coffee sure made this a unique tasting pie. It sort of reminds me of a cheesecake, but […]
Easy Nilla Tiramisu
I know, I know….lots of Nilla Wafer dishes. That’s what the theme of the party was and my only Nilla wafer recipe that I make is the banana pudding, so I had to go onto the Nabisco website and try some out. This Tiramisu was super easy and tasted okay. I’d make it again. […]
Mini Cheesecakes
These mini cheesecakes were the perfect size. They were super easy and everyone loved them. I adapted them from a recipe from the Nabisco website. I actually got more than 12 out of this recipe (I think it made 16). Mini Cheesecakes 24 NILLA Wafers, divided 2 pkg. (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened 1/4 […]
Chocolate Banana Pudding
I was picked again to host another House Party only this time it was Nilla Wafers and International Delights Coffee. YUM! I had about a dozen friends and family come over for a nice spread of dessert and coffee. We had a good time eating while the kids all played outside. This week, I will […]
Nutella Blended Coffee Drink
I had you at Nutella, right? If you like blended coffee drinks at all, this Nutella Blended Coffee Drink is for you! The other day, I was working hard on decluttering another part of the house and I needed a break. I took the opportunity, since Little Man was sleeping, to make me this treat and […]
Angel Food Cake with Pomegranate Glaze
My birthday was last month and Hubbyman always bakes my favorite cake…angel food cake. I think it’s ironic that since I love baking and decorating cakes that my favorite is the simplest of them all. This year he tried something new and it was tasty. Hubbyman had a little trouble with the cake…it fell while […]
Roasted Spiced Pumpkin Seeds
You’ll love this spicy take on traditional roasted pumpkin seeds in my Roasted Spiced Pumpkin Seeds recipe. It’s a family favorite! I’ve used my Mom’s Roasted Pumpkin Seed recipe since I was in high school. I’ve never thought to change it up as it is perfect the way it is. However, my cousin called last […]
Chili Dogs: Our Halloween Tradition
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had chili dogs for supper on Halloween. I’m not sure exactly how this became out tradition, but my mom always said that it was quick, easy, and tasty. And my sister and I were so excited for Trick-or-Treating that there was no time for a full meal. […]
