German Chocolate Cupcakes
Another birthday for the Mr. means another German Chocolate dessert in the books. Team Bacon doesn’t love all things sweet like Team Cake, but one thing he does request every year and actually enjoys is anything German Chocolate. Since we baked him a pretty traditional German Chocolate cake last year, we went a cupcake route…
Herb Stuffed Roast Chicken
The herbs in our garden are a little out of control right now. I always seem to have this “problem” this time of year and start contemplating ways to make use out of them. Should I dry and jar them? Learn how to make herb candles? Does the dog want rosemary for dinner? I kinda…
Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble
I have been stockpiling strawberries and rhubarb from the garden since they started ripening this season, all in preparation of making this dessert right here. I admit. My original intention was to make a pie, but I realized I eat far too much pie. So the little one and I decided on a crumble instead….
Teriyaki Lime Salmon
Anyone else struggle with coming up with quick weekday dinners? With the weather warm enough now (most days) for evening grilling after long work days, we’ve been adding salmon dinners into the routine. Pretty quick. Less dishes. And gives me an excuse to get outside to, ya know “help.” (AKA sit on the patio and…
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Sandwich
The mother of all cookies. That’s this recipe right here. It’s like a cookie-pie with cookie dough for the filling and when all put together it’s like the ultimate cookie dough lovers experience. We were just talking about how we don’t bake cookies very often. “Just a little boring,” we agreed. Well this mega cookie…
Gourmet Grilled Cheese with Tomato Basil Soup
I always say that (besides pie) my favorite food is bread and cheese. And besides that? Pesto. Anything pesto. I could probably eat it with a spoon and call it a meal. So if I can have bread, cheese AND pesto all in one sitting, I’m a happy girl. Our sunshine loveliness has taken a…
Triple Layer Oreo -Dipped -Strawberry Chocolate Cake
We asked the little one what kind of cake she wanted for her birthday this year and her response was “chocolate cake, chocolate frosting” and then followed it with, “but I want to make it…” I feel like that goes against birthday rules. Like you should just show up to your birthday celebration and be…
Gorgonzola, Basil & Brussels Sprouts Salad
This is my kind of spring weather! Sunshine and 70 degree days. Perfect for hanging out outside, getting some yard work done, and finishing the day enjoying something yummy on the grill. This weekend, after a long day of outdoor spring cleaning, we went to the fam’s for some BBQ ribs. I never think of…
The Best Berry Pie
I love pie. Growing up, my mom would ask me every year what kind of cake I wanted for my birthday and the answer was always “blackberry pie.” My mom makes good pie! And normally there’s always enough berries in the freezer from the previous season of picking, one of us can bake one any…
