Baked Chicken Jalapeno Popper Flautas
Flautas are a traditional Mexican dish consisting of a tortilla that is filled with meat and cheese and tightly rolled before frying. The recipe I want to share with you today is for Baked Chicken Jalapeno Popper Flautas, which is a combination of jalapeno poppers and chicken flautas. They are made with shredded rotisserie chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheese, jalapeno, and tortillas. This recipe is very easy to make, doesn’t take a lot of time, and makes the perfect appetizer or meal, depending on how many people you are serving. We ate these for dinner and had 2-3 each so there was plenty to go around, and we had leftovers. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper then generously spray with cooking spray. I like to use rotisserie chicken for this recipe, so I start by removing the chicken from … Continue reading

Loaded Brownie Ice Cream Cake
Loaded Brownie Ice Cream Cake screams indulgence! The bottom is a thick fudge brownie that is topped with hot fudge, caramel sauce, ice cream, Oreo cookies, whipped cream, and more cookies. It’s a rich dessert that you won’t want to share, lol! I think ice cream desserts can be enjoyed year-round. Sure, they are necessary during summer months but every now and again I do crave a yummy ice cream dessert during fall or frigid winter months. It’s dessert…it’s for any time of year. This recipe in particular is a showstopper. It’s rich, indulgent, sweet, and you don’t need a big slice to feel satisfied because it’s so dense. The recipe can be found here. Start by preparing the brownie mix according to package instructions, using a 9×13 baking dish. Don’t over bake the brownies! But do let them cool completely. If you have a deeper 9×13 baking dish, use that. The ingredients get piled high! If you have a standard 9×13 baking dish that … Continue reading

Spicy Grilled Queso
Spicy Grilled Queso is the perfect appetizer or side dish for your next party! It’s SO SIMPLE to make…you cook the meat, add all ingredients to a disposable pan, heat on the grill, and serve. It could not be simpler to make or more delicious to eat 😊 It has a slightly smokey taste from the BBQ, a hint of heat from the jalapenos (don’t worry, it’s not overpowering), and plenty of melted cheese for dipping. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the grill to 250-300 degrees F. While the grill preheats, prepare the ingredients. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pound of meat and cook until cooked through, crumbling as it cooks. Then remove from the heat and set aside. I used Beyond Meat for my recipe because that’s what I had on hand. This recipe would be amazing with ground beef or a pork sausage. You could also use ground chicken … Continue reading

Thanksgiving Sides
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I’m starting to plan my menu. Do you feel prepared? I think most families have a list of recipes they make every year and traditionally serve and aren’t necessarily looking for new recipes. For example, my mom makes 2 turkeys every year. One goes on the grill, and one goes in the oven. Both are delicious and there is always a ton of meat to go around. Everyone (and I mean immediate family, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc.) looks forward to her cooking every year. My point is that she isn’t looking for a new turkey recipe. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Or in this case, if no one is complaining about the food, why make something else? 😊 BUT…there is always room for more sides or different sides. Are you assigned to bring something this year? Perhaps you are hosting Friendsgiving and aren’t sure what to make. Or you simply want to change things up a … Continue reading

Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Bars
Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Bars are one of my top 10 favorite desserts. They are essentially cream sandwiches you make on a rimmed baking sheet. A combination of chocolate and peanut butter makes up the flavors in the cookie with a hint of sea salt sprinkled on top. The filling is basic vanilla ice cream. However, you can use any ice cream flavor of your choosing. Chocolate ice cream would make the perfect chocolate extreme dessert. Salted Caramel ice cream would pair nicely with the chocolate/peanut butter cookies. You get the idea! Make this dessert your own. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously spray an 18×13 rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Please do not forget this step or you will have quite a hard time removing the bars! Melt 2 sticks of butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. … Continue reading

Scrumptious Scones
Scones are a new favorite baked good of mine. When I was younger, I thought they were hard and dry, and not very tasty, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned to appreciate the texture and flavor. They are sweet, dense, dry, and crumbly, yet oh so good! They pair well with a cup of tea or coffee in the morning for breakfast. I was recently gifted a Mini Scone Pan, and this is the only way I will make scones. Sure, you can prepare the dough, roll it out, cut it into triangles, and bake it but the pan reduces many of the required steps and is so easy to use. Plus, you get 16 scones so there is plenty to serve at brunch, to bring to work to share, or to save for leftovers are home. Click this link for the Mini Scone Pan. The 3 recipes I want to share with you … Continue reading

Homemade Buster Bar Ice Cream Dessert
Homemade Buster Bar Ice Cream Dessert is one of those desserts you can’t get enough of! It’s loaded with peanuts, vanilla ice cream, an Oreo crust, and a chocolatey-fudgy topping. It’s perfect on a hot summer day…or really any day because ice cream isn’t limited to summer enjoyment 😊 It’s a dessert I would recommend for a dinner party or birthday party. It has something for everyone, is filling, and will feed a crowd. The recipe can be found here. Start by softening the ice cream so it’s easier to work with. Do this by placing the quart of ice cream on the counter for 15-20 minutes to soften while you prepare the other ingredients. Add the Oreos to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until you have fine crumbs. Pour the crumbs into a mixing bowl and add 1 stick of melted butter. Stir to combine. The mixture will resemble wet sand. Press this mixture into the bottom of … Continue reading

Farro Salads
Farro is something I was recently introduced to and it’s the star of these recipes. It’s a grain that makes great salads when used as the base or when added to leafy greens. It’s hearty, has a slightly nutty taste, holds up well with dressing, and makes a great meal. Farro is something I find myself craving because there is such a wide range for its use, and it can be completely customizable when added to other dishes…. like salads 😊 I’d like to share with you a handful of new recipes I’ve been working on over the past few months, all-encompassing farro. I will admit, I went on a bit of a farro-kick, but the end result did NOT disappoint! Here are the recipes: Apple, Gouda, & Farro Mixed Greens Salad Cilantro Lime Farro Mediterranean Farro Salad Summer Farro Salad with Apples, Pecans, and Arugula Thai Peanut Farro Salad Butternut Squash & Farro Salad Greek … Continue reading

Apple Butter & Prosciutto Naan Flatbread
Apple Butter & Prosciutto Naan Flatbread is the perfect fall dinner. It’s easy to assemble, quick to make, and tastes amazing! The classic combination of apples and cheese give this recipe a sweet and savory taste, and very unique flavor. It’s a great way to use up those apples or apple butter you bought during a visit to the orchard this fall 😊 The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the flatbreads on the baking sheet. Top each flatbread with ¼ cup of apple butter. Add more to taste. I like to use store-bought apple butter (from either a local apple orchard or grocery store) for convenience. You can use homemade apple butter if you prefer. Top each flatbread with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, spread evenly over the top. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the … Continue reading
