Since my kids love helping in the kitchen, I thought it would be fun to let them help put together a fun and healthy snack. I had some yummy summer fruit in the fridge and decided fruit kabobs would be fun to make with the kids. I didn’t have any skewers but I had toothpicks, so mini fruit kabobs it would have to be. And they loved it!!
Birthday season is upon us! At least in my family it is. We have a birthday in April, June, July and August. We eat cake for months! If you are going to eat cake that frequently, you should probably have a killer frosting recipe to go with it. So today, I’m sharing the best birthday cake frosting recipe! It pairs perfectly with birthday cake and you can make it to the consistency of your liking. Double win!
Mixed Berry Tiramisu is a fresh, summery take on a classic. Hello again! It’s Mara, back from Put on Your Cake Pants. For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved fruit. I remember saying as a teenager that I would become a fruitarian if I could—but it’s a good thing I never tried, since…
Sweet Pork Nachos could be made as your main meal, or as a meal made from leftovers the next day! This meal does have several components, but if you also plan a salad or enchilada or taco night using the same meat it will cut your prep time and be well worth your while. While the recipe is called sweet pork nachos, I think that substituting some marinated grilled chicken or steak would be equally delicious here!
While the recipe is simple, the taste is incredible! The roasted red pepper is definitely the star of the show! Start by sauteing onions, garlic, and roasted red peppers in a olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add chicken broth, spices, cream and Parmesan. Spoon the sauce over pasta, top with diced chicken, and big shavings of Parmesan if desired, and dig in!
Hello! It’s Kathy, from Beyond the Chicken Coop! My daughter and I love cooking together. We’ve made egg rolls a few times in the past and she was having a craving for them recently. We decided to bake these instead of deep frying them. Baked egg rolls are just as delicious and there’s no messy frying oil to deal with.
This is something we ate growing up, so eating it always makes me feel a bit nostalgic. Lu concocted this amazing garlic chicken sauce as a refreshing change from the customary of chicken soup that is often used in Hawaiian haystacks. Speaking of haystacks, what do you call this dish? When my husband’s family says “haystacks” they are referring to what I call “frito chili pie/walking tacos”. I’m just going to call it delicious.
Hello! It’s Mara, back again from Put on Your Cake Pants. Today’s recipe, creamy pesto gnocchi, is well-suited for spring, when we’re getting more hours of daylight and we’re eager to spend them out of doors…or at least out of the kitchen!
These blueberry lemon scones are just what you need for breakfast or for mid-morning tea!
Fresh blueberries and lemon are made for each other. Add them to a scone and you’ve got an amazing treat! And then to top it all off, I added a lemon glaze! Super Yummy!
Some of you may still be experiencing some very cold weather so these popsicles might not be something you are thinking about now. Make sure and pin this recipe for when it starts to warm up. Your family will love them. And I say family because even my hubby enjoyed these lime popsicles.
I’ve been obsessing over the cuisines of the Caribbean for the past few months. While I’d love to drop everything and jump on a plane, eating tropical food is the closest I can get to a tropical vacation at the moment. Even though this winter has been relatively mild in Michigan, I certainly wouldn’t say no to a beach getaway! Watching episodes of The Bachelor filmed in the Bahamas and Jamaica hasn’t helped quell my wanderlust, either. But honestly, perhaps the reason I’ve been craving Caribbean food is just the fact that it is all-around awesome and positively bursting with flavor. Sweet, savory, spicy…it’s got it all!
If you need a dinner idea for your St. Patty’s Day, tonight we have you covered! These scrumptious little baked pastrami sliders definitely are not a authentic Irish meal, but they sure are delicious, so I hope you can forgive their lack of authenticity.
