Flourless desserts are some of my favorite desserts in the whole world. I love the denseness and the fudgy quality of any flourless dessert because, for me, they are moister and gooier. These are the qualities that I love in my sweet treats! I have a lot of friends who love flourless desserts for another reason. They say that whenever they are watching their weights and their waistlines, flourless desserts are the best way to go. But then, there’s all the sugar! I have been obsessed about dieting before, but it didn’t have a good result.

I became extremely thin that I looked like a walking corpse. I worried my family and even myself. I think differently now, most especially that I have my family with me. I should take care of myself so that I can take care of my family well. That’s a whole lot better for a philosophy in life, right?

Anyway, this flourless chocolate cake tastes really divine. Just because it’s flourless, it means it lacks the usual goodness a chocolate cake has. In fact, for me and my family, it tastes even better! It’s like a huge fudge brownie! We love fudge brownies! The gooeyness just gets to us all!

Quick Tip: Use the best chocolate that you can find because the chocolate is all that you will taste.

My husband and I are huge outdoorsy people.  Since we got married, we have hiked, backpacked, and cycled all over the place. 

Everywhere we travel, we always try to find new places where we can get outside and do physical activity.  It is something we have always looked forward to.  I mean, we have gone camping more times than I can possibly remember or even attempt to count and my husband is already looking into an RV. You see, we are getting a bit too old to spend our days outside hiking and backpacking, so instead, we are looking to RV the country.

We think it would be another grand adventure in our lives.  Have any of you RVed before? Well, we did rent an RV once to drive some distance and absolutely loved it.  I think one of my favorite things about it was the little kitchen in there.

I could be doing stuff while my husband was driving which was so much fun. The one thing we made the most that summer was this refreshing summer frosted lemonade.  We drank it like water and are addicted to it now!  We make it every summer and it brings us wonderful memories of that RV adventure!

Quick Tip: Use natural lemons or a bit of bottled lemon juice to make this.

My family is not huge on fish.  Unfortunately, I never taught them to love it. 

When I was pregnant with my youngest son, I stayed away from all types of fish because I could not stand the smell. It was just something that repulsed me so much, I could not be anywhere near it.  For that reason, my three older kids did not eat it for a time, and whenever they saw it, they saw my reaction of disgust and also learned to react that way. After being pregnant though, I got a craving for fish one day and I made it.

I was in heaven.  I have always loved fish so I knew it would be something I loved.  Well, on that day I tried to convince my kids to try it, but they refused.  So I put it away and when my husband got home, I told him we had to train our kids to eat this as they would be missing out if they never tried it.

Well, with my husband’s help, I found this foil baked salmon recipe and the kids positively loved it.  Now we eat this “pink chicken” (that’s what they call it) once a week without any complaints.  Woohoo!

This Is My Husband’s All-Time Favorite Breakfast Dish!

My husband and I love to have guests over the house.  We are really friendly people and love having people over to share our hearts with, what we are learning, going through, experiencing and how we are growing in life and in our church and family.  It is such a fun thing for us to have people over and just fellowship over an extended period of time.  Ever since we have kids, we knew we wanted to instill that in them as well, so we decided to make it a priority to have at least two house guests a month, whether they spent the night, or just came over for dinner.

Well, we have exceeded our goal by far as we normally have about one guest per week over (well, one family over, as it is normally people with kids for our kids to play with).

We have tried so many delicious meals with new people and when they are staying over for the night, I like to make sure to give them a hearty and delicious breakfast to keep them full throughout the morning for whatever adventures may be in store for them.  This is one that I return to often when I have guests.

Quick Tip: Add some mini chocolate chips if you’d like

My husband is a HUGE football lover.  That guy considers his Sunday afternoons after church sacred as he watches football game after football game. 

He really loves it and has taught my kids all about it and now they love it, too! When we first got married many moons ago, I had no idea what football was like, how it was played, what it had to do with, and what in the world you did with that ball.  I was so lost, I hated going to games with him and even more so, spending the afternoon on the couch watching it.

Well, my husband taught me all about the game, and now that I understand it, I am hooked.  I love watching the game with him, cheering on the good team, and booing the bad.  Well, with the Super Bowl around the corner, I thought I would surprise him with a really cool dip that I know he would like.

I put together the dip and then realized I could make it even better by shaping it and decorating it like a football.  Well, I tested it out this week and needless to say, it was delicious.  I am certain he is going to be surprised!

Quick Tip: Amp up the spice by adding more chilies.

My family loves Mexican food.  When my kids were little, I would take them to Mexican restaurants for tacos at least once a week. 

My husband would often meet us there after work and it became our night for family time.  We bonded over tacos and ate queso dip to our heart’s content.  We were always so thrilled to enjoy our family time, and everyone from my husband and me down to the littlest of kiddos looked forward to that weekly Mexican meal. Well, now my kids are grown and have their own kids.  My grandkids love Mexican food, too, probably because I trained my kids to like it.

We no longer have our weekly Mexican restaurant dates, but we have monthly Mexican dates where they come over my house and my husband and I prepare traditional Mexican meals for all the kids and grandkids to enjoy.  We recently ran across this Mexican dip and knew we had to incorporate it into our monthly dinner!

It is satisfying, easy to make, warm and so delicious with a big bowl of chips.  We like this with all kinds of cheese inside and like to switch it up by adding veggies and spinach for color, flavor and texture.  It all makes it even more delicious!

Quick Tip: Add any of your favorite canned beans into this.

My husband and I love to grill.  Always have, always will. 

We love to go out to Costco or BJ’s the night before we plan to grill and buy all of our favorite cuts of meats, veggies, and bread.  Sometimes we even buy what we need to make a pizza and we actually grill it as well.  It is so much fun and delicious to eat a smoky, perfectly crisp pizza.  You should really try it someday as it is positively delicious. Well, back to the BBQ.  My husband and I were having our kids and grandkids over for dinner, so we went out and bought everything we needed.

On the way to the register, we found the bacon on a super sale, so we went ahead and bought it.  We were not thinking of using it for grilling, just to have it for breakfast.

Well, we picked up our grandson Luke and got to work on prepping food for the night (he was going to spend the night for us).  When Luke saw the bacon, he came up with a genius idea: wrap the corn in bacon.  How had I never thought of that? Luke is simply genius, I tell you!

Quick Tip: Maybe add some onion rings between the corn and bacon if you’d like.
