Asian Sesame Pasta Salad

I am sure after this winter, spring can’t get here soon enough for most of us! Especially for my poor Northeast friends! While I can’t tell a lie, it has been absolutely beautiful in Texas this past week. We have been grilling dinner outside almost every night. All of this grilling has me craving one of my favorite side dishes… Asian Sesame Pasta Salad.

Crispy Baked Avocado Fries

If you have been following my blog for sometime now you probably have figured out I LOVE avocados. So when they were 4 for $5 at the market I had to buy them. I thought I had tried everything I could think of using an avocado… Guacamole, Avocado Egg Salad, Avocado Grilled Cheese, and simply dicing them up and putting them in just about anything. Then I realized I have never made avocado fries! WHAAAAT?

Black Bean Chicken Enchilada Cups

During the holidays we have had quite a few parties to attend. Yay! I love parties! I usually try to bring something a little different. Since I have a food blog I feel it is expected of me to bring something amazing. No pressure!

A few weeks ago I made Buffalo Chicken Cups for my neighborhood party and they where deeeelish! So for the next shin dig I wanted to switch it up a bit. I came up with a black bean and chicken enchilada cups. Who wouldn’t love an enchilada in a cup?

Buffalo Chicken Cups

Life has been CRAZY the last few weeks. My husband got a new job and we are relocating from the Philadelphia area to Dallas in January. We sold our house rather quickly and are currently staying with my sister and her family until the big move. Now that we are getting settled I can get back to my blogging 🙂 I missed it and I am glad to be back!

Cranberry Apple Stuffing Muffins

Stuffing is my absolute favorite side dish for Thanksgiving! I got this stuffing muffin recipe idea from a guest on the Rachael Ray show. I loved the idea, but did like the stick of butter in the recipe. I lightened up the recipe and added fresh apples and dried cranberries.

Roasted Cranberry Walnut Brussels Sprouts

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It’s the calm before the storm, time spent with family, and best of all the food. Turkey is ok in my book, I am more of a sides kinda girl. Stuffing, potatoes, veggies… Yum!
