Parmesan Encrusted Pigs in a Blanket


This is a recipe that I have known and loved for quite some time. This makes a great snack, and easily makes a great appetizer/party treat for large groups. Everyone that I have ever made these for has loved them, and they will always be asking for more! (I know that I can eat a full batch to myself) Now, this recipe is for a small batch (roughly 32), and the quantities can easily be multiplied to make more.

Double Meat Lasagna

I know I have always loved lasagna, and it will always be one of my favorite dishes. I've never actually made lasagna from scratch before, and thought it would be fun to give it a try! I'm glad I did... because it was absolutely phenomenal! Very meaty, and full of flavor. Rave reviews from all parties!! Now, this dish does make 12 servings, so we have plenty for leftovers... mmm lasagna for lunch, yes please! Now this recipe is easy for everyone to make, it doesn't call for any crazy ingredients, and they can all be found at your local grocer. Feel free to substitute some of the ingredients to make it your own!

Simple chocolate chunk muffin cake


This was a great find! Comes out super moist, and is full of delicious chocolate chunks! This one does take a little longer to bake, but in the end is worth the wait!


BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwiches

These are definitely something that needs to be planned in advance... but when it is, it is absolutely delicious! Not quite the typical barbecue taste, but still amazing!

Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches

          This is a simple, quick meal that satisfies all. We were going to have BBQ pulled chicken for the 4th, but alas did not have all of the necessary ingredients... So this was a quick and delicious alternative! It only takes about 20 minutes to prepare.

Garlic Chicken Bowtie Alfredo


This is a simple dish, and is super delicious! After discussing what we wanted for dinner, this idea came into mind, and thought I would try it out. No recipe needed though... already knew this one! Keep in mind, this recipe is for two, but can be altered to fit your needs.


Buffalo Chicken Flatbread Pizza 7/1


          It's always a great time when going out to your favorite "wing bar", and this recipe is a quick and easy meal that can easily feed 1 person to a whole party! When I came across this recipe, I immediately thought, "this is going to be delicious"... and boy was I right! :-)

Blueberry velvet cupcakes 6/29


This is my first test of our new oven… and what a better way than with a delicious treat! These easy cupcakes are great for a dessert; if left unfrosted, they make great and healthy breakfast muffins :)
