It’s like FREEDOM. Haha, not really there’s so much work to do around the house and I miss him a lot! But on the bright side I can make things for dinner without considering his preferences nearly so much which can be kind of nice…

They’re messy to eat, but deliciously so! – – What do you get when you throw a whole cake on the floor in your house? Apparently the answer is Strawberry Crunch Cakeballs!

If you’re in that mood they can really hit the spot, but even I can only eat a few bites at a time. The principle of praline blondies is pretty simple. Blondie, topped with sugary pecan icing. Tyler, my fiance, loves nuts and non-chocolate desserts, so this one goes out to him! Not that he discriminates against chocolate,…

In the mood for a different kind of wings? Try out these pesto wings! Made even better with homemade pesto! – – It’s been a good harvest year for the basil on my deck! So that means lots of pesto! And with this low-carb diet thing, wings are on the menu! I’ve shared a lot of tasty chicken wing recipes like miso glazed chicken wings and maple mustard wings are my favorite go-tos. But this was a nice summery take on wings! These are basically the same recipe, season and bake and then toss with the sauce–in this case pesto–and bake again…

A chocolate chip cookie layer, followed by oreos, and topped off with a decadent layer of brownie. – – Slutty brownies bring me wayyyyy back to college. I think it was my friend Jackie who first introduced me…when we weren’t eating cookie dough straight out of the tub. Though of course with these you can always snitch some out of the tub while you’re making it. Two desserts for the price of one! Now of course, if you wanna be classy about it all, you can…

An adult-sized vanilla cake with a strawberry ice cream center topped with that strawberry crumble! – – I’m back! Well, trying at least to get back in the swing of things, although life’s been a little crazy lately and I doubt I’ll be able to do a full three recipes a week (Mon-Wed-Fri) like I have been.

If you follow me at all, or have had a conversation with me in person about food, I’ll bet I’ve mentioned how much I love cheese. So what better than carbs, butter, and cheese? Nothing. For this version I used…

Craving crab cakes but can’t justify the price tag? Try out these salmon cakes! All your salmony goodness in a delicious fried cake form~ – – This recipe is really quite delicious. The salmon cakes are moist and flavorful with a satisfying crust, but what really makes this recipe is the sauce! Plus, don’t you just love how colorful the meat is? Until recently, I had avoided fish in a can. My mom made tunafish sandwiches growing up, which I didn’t dislike, but definitely wasn’t my first choice for lunch sandwich typically. So when I saw canned salmon, I wasn’t…
