To use up the random produce odds and ends in my refrigerator crisper drawer. For this one I had fresh spinach and tomatoes to use and in they went. If you have onions, mushrooms, zucchini, leftover sweet potatoes, random hunks of cheese, toss it in. I can attest to the fact that there’s almost nothing that won’t work. I wilted the spinach in my enameled cast iron skillet for about 30 seconds on the stovetop, added tomatoes, a half dozen lightly beaten eggs, and cooked it covered for about 5 minutes....

spray a muffin tin with cooking spray press it down firmly Bake for about 6-7 minutes at 350F or until the tops are barely brown While you’re waiting, be productive: Unwrap your PB Cups. And I thought the dark chocolate Dove candies with caramel centerswould be lovely, too. Make sure little helpers don’t eat the whole candy pile. Skylar actually is very trustworthy. She knows to sit tight because this food is going to be on mommy’s blog....

Fudgy Andes Mint Cookies I’ve always loved Andes Mints. They’re so satiny smooth and just melt in your mouth. So in honor of Saint Patrick’s Day, I made these cookies with Andes Mint Chips in them. The cookies are are super soft with slight chewiness around the edges. They’re supremely chocolaty with four types of chocolate used: cocoa, chocolate pudding, chocolate chunks, and Andes chips. They’re thicker, bakery-style cookies that are bold and rich, not overly sweet, and are loaded with melted chocolate and mint chips....

And these fudgy brownies go from really good to get-them-out-of-my-house after adding peanut butter cups. It’s a fast, one-bowl, no mixer recipe that’s as easy as using a mix. The brownies are ultra fudgy, not at all cakey, ridiculously rich, boldly chocolaty, and there’s a full-size peanut butter cup for each brownie. Peanut butter and chocolate is such a perfect combination and each brownie has it’s own peanut butter cup....

comment icon 114 more comments So you wanna make capellini pomodoro, huh? I’m not going to make any claims to authentic Italian cooking here, but I AM most definitely going to be making claims for SUPERdelicious capellini pomodoro with shrimp and that smooth garlic butter flavor that will come together faster than your hungry self could ever believe. No, I mean it. Between the 5-ish minutes to cook the shrimp and the 5-ish minutes to cook the capellini and the 20 minutes to simmer the silky, buttery tomato basil sauce (which can be happening while the other two things are in process), we’re looking at a LESS THAN 30 MINUTE MEAL situation here....

Easy Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes Skillet Recipe Do you have “meat and potatoes” people in your life? You know the ones who almost forget that there are any other food groups as long as they’ve got their steak and potatoes. Vegetables…what are those? This recipe is made for those exact people who want tender, juicy bites of well-seasoned steak along with potatoes that are soft and buttery on the inside and lightly crisped on the outside....

It’s no secret that I have a major sweet tooth and easy (yet fancy looking) cupcakes are always one of my favorite things to take to a party. Don’t miss my Reese’s Peanut Butter cupcakes or Pumpkin cupcakes. Our “Special Occasion” dessert growing up was always my Mom’s famous German Chocolate Cake. It’s what everyone requested for their birthday cakes (except me…I was the outcast who wanted Carrot Cake). I wanted to make my mom’s version into cupcakes because sometimes they are more fun for parties with a lot of people because everyone can just take one and there’s no mess involved– no plates, knives, forks, and all that....

And I have a major thing for peanut butter. And cookie dough. This is all of that, in one. In a way, it’s a very amped-up version of Biscoff Spread or TJ’s Cookie Butter, although that’s not what I was trying to create. I already have a recipe for Homemade Biscoff/Cookie Butter. It’s boldly flavored with molasses, cinnamon, nutmeg, and has much more pop than Cookie Butter or Biscoff....

I used the pea puree sauce again in place of mayo. It’s garlicky and green. Win-win. Now, just when you thought dinner couldn’t get more exciting, these cute little guys make their appearance. 5 from 3 reviews Extra Gorgonzola on the fries – check!

Traditional Key Lime Pie with Meringue Everyone in my family adores Key lime pie because it’s perfectly tart, but not overly so, and just sweet enough to balance the tartness. Coupled with a graham cracker crust — which I prefer to regular pie crust any day! — and a light and fluffy meringue, Key lime pie is the ultimate dessert. I love Key lime pie and especially so in the warmer months of the year....

What Is Mole Sauce? There is nothing else quite like mole sauce in Mexican cuisine! If you’ve never had mole, I would describe it as a slightly smokey, very lightly sweetened, yet savory sauce that has so much incredible depth of flavor! Mole sauce, or salsa de mole in Spanish, differs a lot based on the region of Mexico. This mole is from the more southern state of Oxaca and is a sweeter mole in comparison to mole from the northern part of Mexico which can be less sweet and more bitter....

Do you love Mexican recipes as much as I do? Check out my versions of Tacos Al Pastor, Elotes, or Tres Leches Cake. We love to make homemade Horchata at our house because I usually always have the ingredients I need, and it’s easiest enough for my kids to do. Plus, horchata is an extra fun addition to taco night. I can’t say this recipe is authentic, but it’s my take on it and I think it tastes incredible....

…for an iPhone I have Verizon and was not going to switch to AT & T just so I could get the iPhone because in San Diego, I’ve had much better service for the past 7 years with Verizon than I did with AT & T years ago when I used have them. But now that Verizon has the iPhone, I am thinking a switch may be in my near future....

UPS came to the house earlier in the day, didn’t ring the bell, and left. I realized this hours later when I saw a sticky note on the door. I called them and they sent the driver back to my house. At 6pm. I waited all day for my phone, but finally, I got it. Grrr to waiting on deliveries! Brand new and sealed in the box. I was worried they were going to try to send me a refurbished phone but they didn’t!...

This frozen cocktail is easy, fruity, tropical-tasting, and the colors are so fun. Look at that kiss of grenadine that’s drizzled in! They go down way too easily and would be extra refreshing on hot summer days. Frozen mango chunks are blended with peach schnapps and Malibu Rum. I also made a virgin version for my daughter — just mango, splash of water to get the blender going, drizzled with grenadine and topped with a cherry....
