NEW - Overnight French Toast Souffle -  Smells like Christmas morning.

NEW - Pumpkin Brie Quesadilla - Twist on Mexican.

NEW - Pumpkin Snickerdoodles - 2 reasons I'm adding this one... the blogger... A Bitchin' Kitchen, I mean really... she's funny, sassy and her name is Maggie (seriously, her blog was made for me), and 2... I can't. stop. eating. these. cookies.

NEW - Sausage Cheese Bread - Really? SERIOUSLY!?!??! OMBREAKFAST!

NEW - Strawberry Balsamic Pizza - Use your strawberries while you got 'em! Never thought that bacon would taste so good with chicken and strawberries.

Andouille Corn Dogs - Seriously? Why didn't I think of that.

Apple Chips -  Who knew healthy snacks could be so simple?

Apple, Pancetta, Sharp Cheddar Grilled Croissants - want a new take on a grilled cheese? Here you go.

Arancini - I love Arancini. It's a tasty, Italian dish that looks like fried mozarella but tastes like Heaven. The difficulty level on this one is medium - only because making the balls to fry and getting them to stay together is tough.

Apple Pie Eggrolls - Spoon, Fork, Bacon = one of my favorites. Delightful treat that's sure to be a hit this July 4th.

Avocado Basil Pasta - Super easy, quick, summer pasta dish. LOADED with flavor.

Avocado Fries - Excuse me while I wipe the drool from my chin... Circle B Kitchen is a blog that's been around for quite sometime and I would highly recommend checking out their recipes and shares on food.


Avocado Mozzarella and Tomato Grilled Cheese - Doesn't need a recipe... just make it. So easy for just 1.

Baked Fontina - collectively now... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

Baked Lump Crab Cakes with Chipotle Lime Sauce - I love lime. So I put tons of extra lime in the recipe. It does call for "fresh shelled crab". From one working mom to the world - yeah right. The results might not be as great but I used canned crab and it came out just fine. A word to the wise - chipotle chilis in adobo = super spicy. Recipe calls for 1 tsp and I put in half a chili. HOT! HOT! HOT! But that's how I like it. Super tasty. ;) 

Bloomin' Onion Bread - There are so many variations to this recipe, but start out with the original.There is tons of flavor packed on each piece of bread and it's fun to pull apart.
  
Brown Sugar Cookies  - If I told you these were the softest, most delicious, melt in your mouth cookies that you will ever eat... that would be an understatement. Make sure to use an electric beater when mixing these. I think it contributes to the texture of the final product.

Buttermilk-Blueberry Breakfast Cake - This is one of my favorite breakfast dishes to make. It's from a website called Alexandra's Kitchen and it is yummy!

Candied Almonds - snack time!


Caprese Grilled Chicken - wanna mix it up by doing your both your chicken AND salad on the grill?

Chicken Bacon Ranch Panini - I "heart" The Pioneer Woman.

Chicken Pot Stickers - I used to make a weight watchers version of this recipe, but this one sounds so much tastier based on the variety of ingredients it uses.

Chocolate Coconut Cups  - Chocolate and coconut are just awesomeness in your mouth. Best part of this recipe from Smashed Peas and Carrots - gluten free, dairy free.

Chocolate Orange Budini - Ever heard of Cake Boss? Well, now he's Kitchen Boss too. Buddy Valastro is someone I would call an entheusiastic chef and if I ever had the opportunity of working in the "biz", he would be at the top of my list.

Chorizo and Sweet Potato Enchiladas - I kind of have a thing for sweet potatos. This variation on Enchiladas is just... there are no words. Spicy, smoky, sweet, filling.

Chowder Bake - leave it to Real Simple to create a less time consuming way to make Chowdah!

Clementine Snickerdoodles - gave these out as part of our neighbor gifts over the holidays. Wow are these good.

Coconut Chicken with Sweet Chili Sauce - All time favorite chicken recipe. Hands down. Beginner easy. There is so much flavor in the few ingredients in this recipe you can't possibly go wrong. Make sure to cook the chicken nice and slow as to not singe the coconut.

Panko Crusted Goat Cheese - As the writer says... "be still my heart". 

Peach Frozen Yogurt - Yup. Uh huh.

Peanut Sauced Chicken Pitas - Great for leftovers and brown bag lunches.

Pecan Crusted Tilapia - Delicious! The tilapia is soft, flaky, fall apart, melt in your mouth good. It's a bit difficult to get the fish covered properly with the pecan but if you cook on medium to low heat slowly, you get a flaky, nutty finish.
