Sweet & Sour Chicken

I love Chinese food. Sweet & Sour Chicken ranks right up there with Sesame Chicken for me. On one condition though, the chicken can't be breaded. Well. Let me clarify. I don't like breaded sweet & sour chicken from Chinese restaurants. There's so much breading and hardly any chicken. ...

Yum. These were really tasty. A while ago a friend of mine posted a picture on Facebook of a stuffed pepper that his wife had made him for dinner. It looked SO good! For months my mouth watered for it. When we were able to get together with them I ...

BBQ Chicken Salad with Creamy BBQ Cilantro Lime Dressing

Oh my lands. This salad is soooooo yummy!!! I'm talking: Y.UMMY. The dressing is awesome. I used black pepper mayo, so I kept the cayenne to a minimum - even still it packed a pretty big punch. The one problem I would say I had with this salad was, THERE WASN'T ...

I've been meaning to post this since Christmas. That was only two weeks ago. Not bad. Better late than never right? We ended up having this for Christmas "brunch".. because no one wanted to get up early enough to have it for Christmas breakfast. I loved that I prepared it ...

Cream Cheese Cinnamon Rolls

I'm all for quick and easy recipes. Call me crazy, but when it comes to breads, rolls, and anything involving dough, I love the challenge of a complex recipe. I love a warm kitchen with dough rising. The smell of bread baking, or even better: cinnamon rolls! For Christmas Eve I ...

Candy Popcorn

This is one of those recipes that you can tailor to any holiday. I used a bunch of red food coloring and it STILL turned out pink :) I guess the color doesn't really matter. All that matters is how fantastic this was! It was super easy and only had five ingredients. ...
