Happy Cinco De Mayo y’all!! I’ve rounded up my recipes to make on this festive day! My plans for the day consist of making Guacamole with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, White Chicken Chili with Green Chile Cornbread Muffins and Key Lime Pie for dessert! Oh and a virgin marg for this mama-to-be. 😉💃🏼
Happy First Day of May y’all! I’m BEYOND excited to share two things with you all today. FIRST, the gender of our sweet baby that we will be welcoming in September and SECOND, probably one of the BEST recipes I’ve ever made — Carrot Cake!!!
There is just something about having a fresh loaf of breakfast bread that is such a luxury to me. Maybe because I can literally roll out of bread and immediately have something super delicious and made from scratch without having to do any work. 😉
Over the past few weeks, most of us have been looking for some type of comfort. I’m not sure about you, but I personally seek comfort when I cannot control some of the circumstances around me. With all of this time at home, I’ve found myself really honing in on the little things in life that bring me joy, peace, and comfort. I’ve been spending a lot of my time reading, working out in the yard, walking, experimenting with new recipes, listening to music, getting lost in cookbooks, scheming about ideas for the baby’s nursery, and last but not least making comfort food. I’m pleased to introduce you to one of my absolute favorite comfort foods or shall I say appetizer! 😉
Over the past two weeks, while being isolated at home, I’ve been trying to find pleasure in simple things. We live on a wonderful street that is full of cute kiddos who are always playing outside. I’ve really taken note of their creativity when it comes to entertaining themselves with the simplest of things. I myself have tried to return to the little things in life that bring me joy, especially during this stressful time when we feel out of control. A few of these things include baking, getting lost in a cookbook without any distractions (aka my phone), listening to relaxing music, reading, flipping through some of my favorite interior design books, organizing my closet for spring, dreaming up designs for the nursery on Pinterest… the list goes on & on.
In my opinion, there’s nothing like a sweet and tangy key lime pie in the spring! Want to know what’s even better?! Key Lime Pie BARS!!! Key lime pie is typically made with a graham cracker crust, but I decided to go with a buttery shortbread crust and it’s a total game changer!! These bars are the perfect combination of salty & sweet. The secret to the delicious creamy filling is Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk — and I cannot even begin to describe how easy it is to make! 🤗
So I came up with this recipe a few weeks ago when I was wanting something HEALTHY & SWEET! Little did I know that my husband would eat half the batch in one night lol. 😉 After that, I knew that I had to share these “Cookie Dough” Energy Bites with y’all! Just FYI, these energy bites aren’t actually cookie dough (no butter & no eggs), but they tasted JUST LIKE it after they are refrigerated for 2-4 hours. And let’s get real… who doesn’t love cookie dough? 🍪❤️
Creamy Chicken Penne is one of my favorite go-to recipes of all-time y’all! Not only is it delicious, but it’s BEYOND EASY!!! Meet your new favorite weeknight dinner meal.
What’s better than warm cobbler & vanilla ice cream?? Cobbler baked in a cast iron skillet!! I wanted to post this SUPER easy recipe just in time for Valentine’s Day because this has my man’s name written ALL. OVER. IT. 😉
Is there anything better than juicy ripe nectarines when you are anxiously awaiting sunny days & spring weather?! Place them on a piece of artisan toasted bread, topped with sweetened vanilla ricotta cheese, and then drizzle them with honey. I mean how good does that sound?! 🍑🍯
