I love Lemon Curd! What I don’t love is the work involved in making it. I’m not a big fan of any recipe that calls for a “double-boiler”. I cringe just typing it. I know when I hear the word “double-boiler” it means there will be a lot of time and attention required to make that recipe. So when I ran across this recipe for Lemon Curd made in your Microwave…I was SO excited. I was a little worried how it would turn out…I didn’t need to be…it turned out AMAZING! The BEST Lemon Curd EVER!

I wanted to share a fun idea for a Mother’s Day Brunch. It all started with this lemon table cloth and grew from there. You don’t have to do this for Mother’s Day. You can just throw a fun cheerful brunch for your friends. I believe any excuse for “girlfriend” time is a good thing! You’re invited to join me for this fun filled brunch post and some of my thoughts on Womanhood!
For two years I’ve been drooling over this Cheesecake. I decided it was high time I actually make it! So I did! It’s every bit as good as it looks. If you love cheesecake as much as I love cheesecake…you need to make this masterpiece! I think my husband may have made himself sick on this cheesecake he ate so much of it. (That my friends is an endorsement you can take to the bank!) Oh…and don’t let the Amaretto scare you off! Remember you can always “bring a cup of it to a boil to bake off the alcohol, if you don’t drink, and all you’re left with is the warm rich flavors of Amaretto. I do this all the time and leave a container of it in my spice cupboard for baking.
I truly LOVE fresh fruit pies. I think I love them even more than baked fruit pies? Hmmmm? (I may need to get back to you on that!) Any who…I am slightly giddy over this fresh strawberry pie. It’s just like Mom made. (Mom if this isn’t your recipe do NOT crush my illusions) It is as delicious as it looks. I know it was all over Facebook last week and I knew the minute I saw it, I was going to make it. It’s the perfect Mother’s Day dessert. Mom’s love eating fresh fruit in pie… it’s guilt free cause it counts as one of our fruit servings! YES it does!!! (Course so are jelly fruit filled donuts…I’d use extreme caution when choosing to argue that point!) I think my new tag line will be… “Just saving husbands lives one tip at a time”! Enough of this…come check out this mouth-watering pie!
It’s almost time for my favorite foodie Holiday! No… It’s not Thanksgiving. It’s Cinco de Mayo! I love a holiday that allows me to have all the melted cheese and guacamole I want. Then there’s those chips and fresh salsa… and let’s not forget the Fried Ice Cream Cake! I have compiled all our favorites into one post with links to every single recipe. Let’s Fiesta!
If you’re a fan of Chipotle Mexican Grill you will LOVE this recipe for Easy Slow Cooker Beef Barbacoa! I’ve personally never been to a Chipotle Mexican Grill. (I know…Gasp!) However… my kids informed me this tastes JUST like their Beef Barbacoa. It’s also the perfect “grab and go” meal when you’re heading out to the soccer fields or soft ball games. I know how busy spring time is for the Moms of budding athletes. This is a great easy recipe for your busy week ahead!
There’s nothing worse than ordering an omelette and having the out side crispy brown and tough! Yet so many restaurants seem to serve them that way! Over cooked eggs are…to quote my favorite 3 year old… “Icky”! YIKES! Nothing worse than “Icky” eggs! So I’m not only sharing this AMAZING Sausage Veggie Omelette recipe…I’m sharing my tips for PERFECT omelettes…tender, fluffy, and delicious! Best thing about Omelette’s…they’re great for breakfast OR dinner!! Especially when you just need dinner for two!
Lunch! I think we all get bored with our lunch choices from time to time. Right? I think it started in grade school… with all those scrunched P.B.& J. sandwiches in our lunch boxes…don’t you? Gah!!! Now lunch time rolls around and we stand in front of the fridge expecting something spectacular to jump out at us….so we wait…we stare…and we wait! Sigh…What can we do? Well, we can treat ourselves by having this amazingly easy and delicious California Club Turkey Wrap! Takes about 10 minutes from start to finish and you’ll feel like your treating yourself to lunch out…and we ALL deserve that from time to time. Bonus…I even tell you how to kick it up a notch so you can have them for dinner too!
One of the best things about Thanksgiving is the smells that come out of your kitchen. At various times during the year I yearn to have my house filled with those familiar yummy smells. This recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy comes pretty dang close to those smells…best of all…it come close to the taste! Moist tender chicken, smothered in a rich creamy gravy, on top of a pile of homemade buttery mashed potatoes…do I have you drooling yet? This recipe is from my friend Sarah at The Magical Slow Cooker. Come take a peek…you’ll be glad you did!
I have a love-hate relationship with BBQ. Which is why I created this delicious slow cooker pulled pork sandwich. It’s my “go-to” recipe for large Family Parties or Summer BBQ’s. The classic coleslaw on top of the pulled pork, combined with the BBQ sauce, makes for one AMAZING juicy lip smacking sandwich! You’re gonna love it…and so will the relatives! Hope ya don’t mind them hanging around…lol
