Mediterranean Chickpea Salad

Remember back in March when it was 85 degrees without a cloud in the sky?

How I spent my Friday laying out on my deck drinking a margarita…alone…at 3…?

Well I made this refreshing salad then, when we were enjoying the heat and thinking summer had arrived early.

Now it’s freezing cold and windy ALLLLLLLL the time.

Dulce De Leche Sandwich Cookies

I knew I had to make these cookies the moment I laid eyes on them.

What’s better than a dulce de leche cookie…???

A dulce de leche sandwich cookie with the sweet caramel in the middle!

You may look closely at that picture and wonder why it looks like chocolate in the middle and not caramel….

Well…that’s because I decided Nutella would be an even tastier addition to these sweet caramel cookies.

You may remember back to the homemade dulce de leche recipe I shared a few months back.  It was the same delicious caramel I used in the Salted Caramel Pie that became Mikey’s favorite pie to date…

Cheesecake Filled Strawberries

Have you heard of the Pinterest craze amongst women (and men…but mostly women)?

I am a straight up addict.

I am never left uninspired. Whether it be pretty desserts, amazing DIY projects or fun fashion ideas, I literally can spend hours perusing the different pins.

If you are as addicted as I am, chances are you’ve seen pictures of these strawberries before.

I have a pregnant friend who discovered these strawberries on Pinterest and requested I make them for her, which I obviously obliged immediately.

There is nothing I love more than a recipe request.

Seriously.

Sometimes I can’t figure out what to make and I get stuck in a rut of not knowing what I want or what you might want.

So if you’re EVER craving something, tell me and I will make it for you immediately.

AKA, tell me what you want and I’ll make it for you this weekend.

Ready……………..GO.

Caramel Corn

Have you missed me?

I’ve missed you.

I was on spring break last week and I did a whole lot of nothing…except bake, clean, pamper and spend time with friends.

It was amazing.

But I really did miss you and have been dying to get a recipe posted!

What better way to come back from my hiatus then with one of my favorite foods ever!

Popcorn.

It does not matter what form it comes in, just as long as there is lots of it.

This recipe comes from my Mom and is the best caramel corn out there.

Aside from Garrett popcorn, which is the greatest in the nation.
