Sweet Baked Ham

Sweet Baked Ham {The Most Unique and Delicious Ham I’ve Ever Had}

109 Comments March 25, 2013
As I was thinking of new Easter recipes to share with you, I knew I would not be sharing another ham recipe this year. Ham is ham. I mean, how many ways can you really recreate Easter Ham, especially when you have a fabulous slow cooker version and an equally fabulous classic version. [...]

Classic Deviled Eggs

11 Comments March 22, 2013
Am I the only one that associates deviled eggs with Easter? Clearly you can enjoy the little gems all year round but I find I only feel good about making them in the spring. Whatever. Issues. Thanks to the preparatory post on perfect hard-boiled eggs, we have all the tools we need to make [...]

Perfect Hard-boiled Eggs

Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs

38 Comments March 20, 2013
This is how I’ve been boiling eggs for years and I’m sorry it’s taken until now to share the method with you. Please forgive me. That’s what happens when chocolate cake takes over your life. No time to share practical things like eggs. Hard-boiled eggs are easy-peasy but there are a few tricks of [...]

Layered Peanut Butter and Milk Chocolate Puddings

17 Comments March 18, 2013
I know of no better way to start off the week then to spend 24 minutes or so staring at pictures of layered peanut butter and chocolate pudding. What about you? My cousin Tami (who has bequeathed me this recipe and this recipe and this recipe among others) sent me this recipe [...]

Honey Lime Tilapia

Honey Lime Tilapia

71 Comments March 14, 2013
Admittedly, I’m a big time tilapia lover. However I’m telling you, even if I didn’t love the fish, this flavor pairing and cooking method would convince me otherwise. This honey lime tilapia is unbelievably delicious. I’m no stranger to the honey lime flavor combo. It’s trending presence in recipes is justified [...]

50 Comments March 11, 2013
You’ve probably seen this recipe – it’s crazy popular all over the internet. In fact, I debated about even posting it but in the end, it’s so delicious (we’ve made it several times) that I decided I needed to share in case you are in the .01% of people who haven’t seen it floating around. [...]

Wrestling is kinda sorta our life right now. My two oldest boys are newbie wrestlers this year and wow, it’s been a crash course in the sport for me.  Brian wrestled through college, relishes the smell of the sweaty wrestling room {gag} and loves even more demonstrating moves like the whizzer and crossface on, you [...]

Fudge Toffee Chocolate Cookie Bars

Fudgy Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

37 Comments March 7, 2013
Do you see that layer of fudge? Do you? Do you? It’s glorious. And that’s coming from a self-proclaimed fudge-hater. But sandwiched between layers of buttery graham crackers, toffee bits and chocolate chip cookie dough…well, I take it back; I’ll eat fudge any day (and all day) like that. It’s spring break vacation around here [...]

Cowboy Spaghetti

Cowboy Spaghetti

15 Comments March 4, 2013
We are going to be thinking outside of the box today so if that generally frightens you, turn away, eat some chocolate and rejoin us when you are ready. This spaghetti is really not spaghetti, if you know what I mean, especially if you view spaghetti as spaghetti noodles topped with an Italian-style red [...]

Chocolate Tres Leches Cake

Chocolate Tres Leches Cake

48 Comments February 28, 2013
This cake. Oh, this cake. It was born out of an obsession that has lasted years, really. After the magic that was (and is) this coconut tres leches cake, I have been trying to decide if it was worth going down the road I wanted to travel: a chocolate version. I knew it could [...]
