Haunted Hullabaloo
Halloween is fast approaching. For some, Halloween is a lifestyle and obsession, for others, it’s a day to be someone or something else. I personally love decorating the house, buying candy to pass out to trick-or-treaters, dressing up the dog…. but mostly, I love the food! I like to take a traditional dish and “dress it up” for Halloween. For example, a pepperoni pizza might have the pepperoni in the shape of a jack-o-lantern. You get the picture 🙂 This year, I have quite the spread. It’s going to be one big Halloween celebration at our house, starting with breakfast, and ending with dinner. Here’s what’s on the menu: Eyeball Donuts Spider Web Donuts Candy “Charcuterie” Board Eyeball Asparagus and Gruyere Tart Spider Web Loaded Potatoes Festival Feetloaf Mini Skeleton Cheesecakes Halloween is full of candy and treats so why not start the day with something sugary? Eyeball … Continue reading

National Dessert Day
National Dessert Day is October 14th and boy was I excited when I found out! It’s a day to indulge and enjoy sweets, and I love dessert…. any dessert….so I could not pass up sharing three of my favorite dessert recipes with you. When I say I love sweets, I mean I REALLY love sweets. If I’m offered a second helping of food, I would rather turn it down to save room for dessert. Or start my meal with dessert so I’m not too full afterward. National Dessert Day is my day 🙂 The 3 recipes I want to share with you today are: Tres Leche Cake Butterscotch Budino with Salted Caramel Pistachio Cheesecake First up is Tres Leche Cake. This is an authentic Mexican cake, soaked in a sweet milk mixture, and topped with homemade whipped cream, cinnamon, and berries. Tres Leche means “three milks” and that is … Continue reading

Black Bean Brownies
Black Bean Brownies are moist, rich, and fudge-y. I bet you never thought you would hear “black beans’ and “brownies” in the same sentence 🙂 Most people look at me like I’m crazy and ask if they heard right. Yes – Black Bean Brownies are a thing and they are delicious! They are also healthy and easy to make. The recipe can be found here. One thing I want to mention is this recipe can be Vegan, if Vegan chocolate chips are used, and it can also be Gluten Free, if the oats used are Gluten Free. Start by preheating the oven and prepping an 8×8 baking pan with cooking spray. Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor, except for the chocolate chips, and process until smooth. You might need to turn off the food processor and scrape the sides a few times. Once processed, I like … Continue reading

National S’mores Day
Today is National S’mores Day. A s’more traditionally consists of a roasted marshmallow on top of melted chocolate sandwiched between two graham crackers. It’s a very popular campfire treat loved by people of all ages! It’s ooey, gooey, toasty, deliciousness! What better way to honor this classic treat than by testing out a few recipes 🙂 First up is No Bake S’Mores. This recipe only requires 4 ingredients and is the perfect indulgence! The recipe can be found here. I find it easiest to line a bread pan with parchment paper or plastic wrap. Then place the graham crackers in a plastic bag and smash into fine crumbs. Melt the butter and add the graham cracker crumbs to the melted butter. Pour the mixture into the bread pan but make sure to reserve 1 Tbsp to sprinkle on top. Press down to make a flat layer. If you want a … Continue reading

Halloween Goodies
Get in the Halloween spirit this year by cooking up some spooky treats that are a foolproof way to gear up for the holiday. Your family will love the thought you put into creating a fun, themed dish, and you will love how quick and easy the recipes are. I have quite a few recipe ideas to share with you that are great for a family meal, snack, or appetizer. Let’s start with appetizers! Jalapeño Mummies – think jalapeño popper when you think of this recipe as they are very similar in concept. However, I’ve taken crescent rolls, cut them into strips, and wrapped them around the filled jalapeños to create the look of a mummy – spooky and delicious! These mummies are creamy, spicy, and loaded with flavor. The recipe can be found here. Cream Cheese Bat Wontons – these are essentially cream cheese wontons formed to look like … Continue reading
