I made this salad sometime in the beginning of July. And I didn’t write down the recipe because I thought it would be easy to remember, and frankly that I would be sharing it a lot earlier than the middle of August. However, I’m still sharing it with you all because I think one of the best things with salads like this is that they’re easily modified.
The last two weeks I’ve worked with mini cupcakes. They are fun because they are bite sized—but they are a lot of work.
Lemon bars are one of my favorite desserts. And I love cheesecake. So when I saw several pins on Pinterest that combined these to delicious things, I had to try my own version of it!
This is a new recipe for us. I found the original recipe on Pinterest, and made some minor adjustments. In the future, I think I would make a few more changes, but overall we enjoyed this recipe quite a bit.
I decided that the leftovers would make a good trifle. They would be easy to cut up and add to a bowl with other layers of ingredients.
One of my favorite things is making homemade pizza out of things that aren’t traditionally pizza—french bread, pita, hamburger buns, tortillas, you get the picture.
After doing some research, I looked at what sounded good and what also wouldn’t take too much time. I decided to try something in the vein of jalapeño poppers—and something that would give me something new to try. This is what I came up with in the end!
This year I was determined to make his cake red. What better way is there to do that than cherries? And my dad just so happens to love cherry pie filling. I designed the rest of the cake around that idea. I settled on a white chocolate cake with a creamy cheesecake filling and buttercream frosting.
Mom suggested we make Lorelle’s salad for Easter this year to take to dinner with my dad’s family. It’s something adults and kids will both enjoy.
Over the weekend I asked my brother what kind of cake he wanted. He said he wanted something chocolate and something cheesecake. It didn’t take me long to come up with an idea—and a way to incorporate a yummy surprise.
Thursday morning rolled around and I knew I wanted to do something easy. Later that afternoon my coworker told me she really wanted something with Alfredo sauce. It occurred to me that I could make a casserole with an Alfredo base. Easy. And delicious.
The flavor is good. The execution was alright. Maybe you’ll have better luck than me! Give it a try and let me know how it goes! Enjoy!
Stuffed mushrooms make a great appetizer or side dish.
As you know, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. One of my fondest memories of the holiday, from when I was a little girl, is my Oma making a box of goodies for us that always contained a big brownie shaped like a heart.
This recipe is all about using the ingredients you have on hand. That’s how it started. You’ll notice that I didn’t specify the kind of cheese or Queso. Use what you like or what you have. If you don’t like green peppers, skip on the O’Brien part of the potatoes and go for plain hash browns.
