Continue ReadingDeliciously simple addition of sharp cheddar cheese (or your preference of cheese) to buttery toasty garlic bread! – – Happy day after Fourth of July! No themed recipe for you this year, but I’ve still been catching up on life, and I thought it was a good idea to share one of my regulars for those busy folk like me! 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…

Spice up your weeknight pizza by making your own green pizza! Thin crust pizza with a pesto sauce topped with broccoli, artichokes, and feta for a healthy but delicious green pizza! – – I’m a huge fan of pizza! Melty cheese on carbs? I was sold at cheese! Now throw some healthy and tasty veggies and some of that good ‘ol cheese and you’ve got yourself a pretty tasty meal! It does take some work, but I think it is really worth it in the end. This pizza is light and flavorful and even has veggies so I feel half…

Spice up your classic cornbread with this green chile corn meal batter topped with a mexican blend of cheese! Easy to make and perfect for meal prep or to feed a crowd. – – If you’re looking for a different spin on cornbread, I highly recommend this one! It’s pretty classic, has those big kernels of corn, and is packed full of flavor. I honestly don’t think it needs a slather of butter that some people like on their cornbread because of the green chiles and cheesy topping! This is also one of my make-ahead side dishes! You’ll need to…

A healthy version of banana bread–no butter or oils here! Still delicious and everything you want in a banana bread, but using healthy coconut milk for that moist delicious flavor instead of the bad-for-you alternatives. – – I think the above summary pretty much sums it up. Do you love banana bread? Are you looking for a healthy alternative? Then this coconut milk banana bread is the answer to your prayers! No butter, no oil, instead we use all-natural, full fat coconut milk. Sure it’s still got fat in it, but it’s the natural and healthy kind which makes this…

Brie en croute sounds fancy, but is a snap to make! And who doesn’t love a melty medley of jam and cheese wrapped in pastry dough? – – I think this was one of the first recipes I ever made. For something that’s got a fancy French name, and is soooo delicious, it really is crazy how easy it is to make! This is a perfect appetizer when you’re looking to impress without the hard work. One of the main keys is getting a good jam, and it allows for easy variation on the recipe too! You’ll only see the…

Luscious pumpkin spice muffins, with extra luxury and festivity added from seasonal pumpkin spice choco-chips! – – Are the pumpkin spice police going to come after me for posting this recipe not in the fall? I’m not sure, but I’m braving the waters to share this recipe with you! Part of the reason is that a co-worker requested these for her birthday, and the other reason is I recently found a clearance sale on the pumpkin spice choco-chips! So it’s a good time to look out for clearance sales, or keep an eye out next fall for them choco-chips! These muffins…

Here’s another one of our go-to game day snacks! I don’t know about you all, but if I can stuff jalapeno popper filling into pretty much anything, I find a way to make it happen! Like this jalapeno popper stuffed bread or jalapeno cheddar stuffed burgers. Because everything is better stuffed with cheese and a hint of spicy. It’s funny to me, because about a year ago, I wouldn’t touch the stuff. I was not a fan of spice on any level, probably because I was just a big big wuss. I’m still a wuss on most people’s scales I’ll bet, but I’m…

Another take on these Stuffed rolls, swiss and ham is always a yummy combination for me. I even went one gourmet-step forward and grabbed Trader Joe’s rosemary ham. If you don’t have access to rosemary ham, you can always sprinkle some rosemary into the diced cheese and ham, but make sure you crumble the dried stuff up with your fingers a bit to release the aromatics! You can also just chop through it with you knife quickly before adding it. I chose ham and swiss because I had some leftover ham in the fridge. These are perfect to use up…

In case any of you all have been around my blog since last new year’s–apparently I like “bars”. Last year was a mimosa bar, and this year we went for a waffle bar! We dressed up and went fancy last year, so we just turned the table and went pajama party this year. Fancy is fun, but pajamas mean I can fall into bed and not worry about getting changed or falling over in heels or flashing someone when I want to sit on the floor. So, like all bars, your imagination is the only limitation! And it’s customizable to your…

Here’s another great simple party dip, peeeeerfect for a brunch potluck! Good thing we had one for New Year’s Eve! Really super simple, and quite tasty! The amped up touch to this dip, in my opinion, was the fresh bagel chips I made. Now of course you can do regular chips or store-bought bagel chips, but then I’ve seen less options of varieties of bagel chips at the store than you can get at your local bagel shop! Plus we have an amazing bagel shop less than 10 minutes away. Because the dip is cream cheese based (as one would…

Other than the Apple French Toast, and the Egg Casserole that my friends brought to our New Year’s Eve party, I think these brunch burger bombs were the star of the show! They came about as I was trying to think of the menu, and wanted something a little more “lunchy” to brunch. The result? Little pillows of pilsbury biscuit dough stuffed with maple bacon jam, cheese and burger sliders! Now normally for a brunch burger I’d say that it’d need to have at least some sort of egg in it, but (1) we were having egg casserole separately already,…
