Dagwood Sandwiches

When I was a kid my Nana would always talk about Dagwood sandwiches. I never heard anything but the word sandwich…. Oh joy! I was never a kid that liked sandwiches, but at Nana’s house Dagwood sandwiches didn’t mean just a plain old sandwich! Nana’s Dagwood sandwiches were beastly sandwiches and jumbo works of art! I loved Dagwood’s! It ever occurred to me until...

Fruit and Granola Yogurt (252 Calories)

I am the number one hater of breakfast. I just don’t like breakfast! As far as I am concerned it’s something worth skipping. I don’t like eggs, I don’t like sausage, and well the list goes on. I think it’s a waste of calories, but I know I need to eat breakfast anyway. I am always on the hurt for something new and delicious that I can make quickly, and actually enjoy....

Why did My Simple Side Salad Go Missing?

When I was a child we would have a side salad with every dinner at home. The only way we didn’t have a side salad if we were having burger out for dinner. Even if we were having pizza out. We always had salad with it. Today fast food seems to be a staple food for people, but when I was a child we never had fast food. I didn’t have McDonalds until I was probably...

Fast and Furious Cream Cheese Rolls

So why do I call these fast and furious? For a few reason. If you forget to make them they can be done fast, if you need something to take to someone's house in a hurry, they are fast, and because that’s how fast they leave the table. My mom would make these all the time when I was a kid as appetizers when she would need to bring something to a party or even...

Berry Whip Parfaits

For Independence Day I decided to make this wonderful parfaits. Oh boy did they turn out delicious! The only problem was the red, white, and blue theme I was going for… didn’t exactly turn out so red white and blue. Although they didn’t give you the Americana feel I was going for they turned out delicious seriously delicious!! I used broken butter cookies in between...

Wordless Wednesday - Woodland Paradise

Triple Cheese Macaroni and Cheese

This mac-n-cheese is delicious. It’s a pain to make if you are thinking of boxed mac-n-cheese, but let me tell you its well worth all the work. It’s so creamy and delicious. This recipe is very decadent and rich. If you are wanting something plain and simple this recipe is not for you. The only I could suggest is leaving out the Gouda cheese, but I wouldn’t! If...

Waffle Iron Hash Browns (and Grilled Cheese)

I was reading a post by One Good thing by Jillee when I came across one of her normal wonderful ideas that was a “must try” for me. I never would have come up with this idea, but leave it to Jill… Hash browns using a waffle iron. Brilliant! Not only are your hash browns done in under five minutes but they are perfectly golden brown and extra crispy just the...

Parmesan Roasted Sweet Potatoes

These sweet potatoes were delicious! I loved them made this way because the roasting processes brings out the sweetness and gives the potatoes a nice caramelized stickiness. They are bursting with flavor and will be great made again in the fall. I think this would be a great addition to a Thanksgiving Day table. The only change I will make next time is to make them...
