Will You Be Making This Creamy Cake For Your Sunday Brunch?

Are you tired of that same old cake recipe you keep making year after year, for all the special occasions? I know I was, and that’s why I was so happy when I first came across this awesome recipe. This is not your ordinary cake recipe; this one combines flavors from three of my favorites; Tres Leches cake, coconut cake and lime cake.

Sounds like it’s going to be complicated, right? Wrong! This cake is very easy to put together, which makes it perfect for parties and those times when you’re serving a larger crowd. Making two of these is not going to take much longer than making just one of them – and I guarantee you’re going to wish you had some leftovers!

I intend to serve this for Thanksgiving meal this year, and probably many times over the holidays! However, since you only need a few ingredients for this and they are pretty easy on your wallet, I’m sure I will be making this year ’round, “just because”!

Love, Love, LOVE This Soup!

Here up North we are starting to feel the weather change for the colder. Most people say they wouldn’t want the summer to end, but this is my favorite time of year. I love the colder months – the weather gives me a great excuse to cook all of my favorite soups and stews. Not that I can’t make them year round, but I do think fall and winter make these particular meals taste extra delicious!

I’m glad that my whole family enjoys these kind of recipes; we’re having soup about three times a week now! I’ve collected a bunch of super delicious recipes over the years and this vegetable soup is one of them. I like to make a double batch of this – it keeps well in the fridge for a few days (in my opinion, it only gets better) and everyone is going for seconds, anyway!

I’ve tried several veggie soup recipes in the past but the combination of these vegetables is just perfect, if you ask me. The soup is flavorful without any meat at all, but of course you could add some if you’d like. I bet this would taste amazing with some chicken in it, too.

These 3 Layers Of Pure Pleasure Will Blow Your Hair Back!

My niece was born this time of year, which has been a blessing for my sister – she really loves all the traditional fall flavors and a birthday party is a great excuse for her to make all the delicious autumn desserts. However, she always tries to tweak the traditional recipes a little; to give them a modern twist without changing them too much.

This year, I wanted to help my sister in the party preparations and she gave me this recipe she had found over at Delish. She and I are both crazy in love with sweet potato pie, so these bars are pretty much everything we could ever hope for when it comes to desserts!

Of course I had to make a test batch – you know, just to see if these were good enough for the guests… ahem. They turned out so amazing that I immediately added this recipe to our holiday menu! There’s nothing wrong with a traditional pie, of course, but these bars are totally out of this world.

Bet You’ve Never Tried Pork Chops This Way Before!

I love making casseroles with ingredients that you normally wouldn’t make a casserole with. However, this isn’t your ordinary casserole. In fact, some of you might even say it’s not a casserole at all. I think it’s a casserole but that’s just me. I found this over at Savory Moments and I thought it looked absolutely delightful. So, I just had to give it a go. And I’m so glad I did!

This is the perfect way to make pork chops when you want exceptionally delicious flavor. It is a very easy one pot meal and you can double the ingredients if you’re making this for more than two people. Sauerkraut is the perfect match for those juicy pork chops – to switch things up a little you could use sausage instead of chops!

I like to serve this casserole with a dollop of sour cream and some homemade dinner rolls. It makes the perfect, comforting meal on a cold fall or winter night! Be careful when making this, though – the wonderful aromas might bring the neighbors at your door!

One Bowl And A Handful Of Everyday Ingredients

When it comes to tasty salads I usually choose ones that have fruit and veggies that are in season. Sometimes I use ingredients from my own garden or from the local farmer’s markets or fruit stands. However, during the colder months of the year my garden is not an option, haha! And that’s when I also tend to start looking for salad recipes that are a little heartier; instead of fruit I go for potato salad.

This potato salad recipe is something else. As soon as I came across it, I knew it would become a new family favorite! It combines ingredients like BACON and blue cheese. Yummy! Everyone loves bacon, right?

My kids love to help me out when I’m making this salad. The recipe is super easy, so even my 3-year-old can participate! I have a tip for you; any time you’re boiling potatoes for your dinner, add some extra. That way you’ll have them ready for making this salad the next day!

This 3-Layer Dessert Will Make You Want To Slap Your Momma!

If you’re looking for a dessert that’s going to sweep you and all your guests off your feet, I guarantee this is it. I’ve never had anything nearly as delicious as these bars with such a funny name; nanaimo. I don’t know what that means but I think it might be “the heavenly dessert bar that will pamper your taste buds and make you sing hallelujah”!

Even though you need three different layers for this dessert, it’s not that difficult to make. The instructions are very straight forward and the end result is definitely worth the effort.

When you’re making the bottom layer, be careful so that you don’t add the egg when the cocoa mixture is too hot. If it seems too hot, let it cool for a while first or the egg will curdle. Another trick for it would be to slowly beat some of the cocoa mixture into the egg first, a little at a time. Trust me – that’s the only tricky part about this recipe!

The Creamy Sauce Really Takes This Meal To The Next Level

I always make this wonderful chicken alfredo when I feel like having something tasty, super fast, and easy to put together. We often have dinner parties with friends and take turns bringing side dishes, entrees and desserts. This makes the perfect meal for those occasions because it’s made in a slow cooker!

I work from home, but I still don’t have too much extra time to slave away in the kitchen for these special dinners. So the slow cooker comes in handy – and when the meal is done, I can carry the whole thing with me and serve it hot, straight from the crock pot.

This creamy chicken alfredo recipe is the best one I’ve ever tried – and trust me, there have been many! This reminds me of the dish my grandmother used to make – although she did not use a slow cooker back then… I guess many things are a lot easier these days, than they were all those years ago!
