Peanut Butter & Chocolate Stuffed Krispie Treats
Oh and there’s some caramel (and maybe some sea salt) involved too, but I decided to stop there. For a split second, I though about maybe, possibly dipping them in a chocolate/peanut butter mixture, but that may have been taking it a bit too far. They are sweet…just a tad sweet (no, I’m kidding…they […]
Blackberry Lemonade
Yup, blackberry lemonade…just because. Zach and I are obsessed with lemonades and juices. We stock up when they go on sale, and even then, they are gone within just a couple of days. I truly think the Simply Lemonades are some of the best on the planet. Because they are so fresh, they have […]
Rustic Peach Tart
Peaches were 49 cents a pound at Sprouts. As a result, I had to do something with peaches. They are NEVER that cheap. I almost didn’t believe it. Almost. We are getting into that prime peach time here in Colorado. We’re almost there. We still have a couple of weeks to go, and if […]
Thai Curry Turkey Burgers
Turkey burgers are hit or miss. Let’s be honest, most of the time they come out super dry and packed full of no flavor what-so-ever. The key to making a great turkey burger is pumping it full of great flavors and cooking it just to perfection. For this recipe, I decided to go a […]
Avocado and Tropical Fruit Salsa
I love the flavors of summer and this salsa totally embodies the flavors of summer. I seriously wish that some of these tropical fruits were hardy enough to grow in our “rough” climate because I would certainly have some kind of tropical fruit orchard growing right now. Oh well, you can’t have everything. This […]
Peppermint & White Chocolate Sugar Cookies
Well the 4th of July is right around the corner. If you haven’t had your picnics yet, I’m sure they are soon. In order to please Zach (I feel like I’m always pleasing Zach in the form of sweet treats (=), I decided to make him a peppermint cookie. Now I normally would not […]
Sopaipillas (or Sopapillas) with Cannoli Cream & Fresh Fruit
Ever since our recent road trip to the Grand Canyon, I have been craving sopaipillas. Of course, I’m sure most of us have had a sopaipilla at some point in our lives. It’s really just a Southwestern/Mexican/Texan/Latin American/South American/Central American (yeah they serve them just about everywhere!) version of a donut. I forgot about […]
Chocolate Dipped Marshmallow and Fruit Skewers
Because the 4th of July is right around the corner, that’s why! I have seen many “skewer-type” recipes out there that delve into the dessert category, but I wanted to go a slightly different route. I originally wanted to do this recipe with pound cake because pound cake is absolutely delicious and it’s holds […]
A Summertime Barley Salad
Let’s talk barley shall we? I really feel bad for the poor little grain. He so often gets the cold shoulder! I feel like the second someone looks at the packaging on raw barley and finds that it has to cook for at least an hour, it’s immediately placed back on the shelf. Yes […]
