Maybe it’s because DH was out of town last week (it’s amazing how much sugar helps recover from pure exhaustion), or maybe it’s because I’ve just got a major sweet-tooth, but I saw a recipe for caramel brownies and just had to try them for FHE yesterday. This is what I adapted from the recipe […]
Carnitas Enchiladas
Okay. I’m getting a bit creative. This is a recipe I’ve adapted from a taco recipe to make enchiladas instead. Super yummy, especially with the homemade corn tortillas. And it is super easy! The pictures here are leftovers, actually. Almost as yummy as the first night! Carnitas Enchilada Stacks 1 to 1-1/2 pounds pork roast, […]
Cookies!
I haven’t posted any new recipes lately – mainly because I haven’t been cooking. But, alas, tax season has died down and I find myself with a few spare moments. So I’m tried out a new cookie today from Picky Palate that uses coconut oil instead of butter (supposedly there are major health benefits […]
Almond French Toast
This is a recipe I found at Whole Foods Market’s website. Their recipe uses tofu instead of eggs, but since I’m not vegan, I’ve opted to use eggs instead. The french toast is a little too sweet if you use syrup. Probably some yogurt and fruit, or maybe (if you really want to splurge on […]
Another Yummy Treat
These yummy truffles comes from a blog by Bakerella – check out the site. She has so many creative and fun ideas. I need to stop browsing because I will never lose weight if I keep on like this! I used Nutter Butters instead of Oreos, but I’m betting Oreos would be awesome as […]
Yummy!
These are the icecream sandwiches I mentioned in my last post. I got the recipe from Martha Stewart online. I used mint chip icecream instead of strawberry (since I hate strawberry icecream). They are really good except that the cookies are a little hard when they are frozen. But that may be because I cut […]
Spicy tomato mac n’ cheese
I have quite a few boxes of Velveeta mac n’ cheese in the house right now because the store had them on sale for .69 and my DD loves it. It makes too much for just her, so I end up eating it too (which is probably not the healthiest lunch I could be having). […]
Anniversary Cake
This is a cake that I made for our anniversary a couple weeks ago. It was sooo good (and soooo fattening, thus it is only for special occasions)! I got the recipe off of Jenny Flake’s blog Picky Palete but she got it from a Southern Living cookbook. The only thing that would make this […]
Chicken Enchilada Soup
This is a soup recipe I pulled off of Jenny Flake’s blog (http://www.pickypalate.blogspot.com/). She used to be in my ward until we split a few months ago. She posts a bunch of yummy recipes, including this one which I’m sharing because I love it and it is an excellent way to use up some cans […]
Banana Bread
This is a banana bread recipe I’ve adapted from “Deceptively Delicious” by Jessica Seinfeld. Instead of using cauliflower puree, I’ve substituted canned pumpkin to give it a Vitamin A boost. DH says this is the best banana bread he’s had. It is so moist and yummy! Ingredients: Nonstick cooking spray 3/4 c. whole wheat flour […]
