• Pumpkin Pie Milkshake

  by Sarah Ellis November 26, 2012
  I have an entirely too large hoarding collection of pumpkin recipes and I've been trying to make as many as possible while it is in season. Plus I have discovered that Matthew, my 5 year old, is a pumpkin fiend like his momma. This milkshake seriously does taste just like a pumpkin pie. It's incre...

• Italian Creme Cake Cupcakes

  by Sarah Ellis November 26, 2012
  This recipe is actually a cake recipe, but it transferred pretty well over into a cupcake recipe. It made about 2 dozen cupcakes, give or take a few cupcakes that may have been eaten before cooled and frosted. I added the sprinkles that look like little fragments of diamonds - they made these look...

• Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Pasta

  by Sarah Ellis November 26, 2012
    I didn't really know what exactly to expect out of this one as far as flavor goes, but it was so packed full of flavor - there was a hint of bite, but it was rich and cheesy. Just the smell alone makes your mouth water. It is one of my new favorites and I cannot wait to make it again. Read m...

• Kamikaze Fries

  by Sarah Ellis November 20, 2012
  I was watching reruns of Triple D one night and saw Naked City Pizza (in Las Vegas) making these unbelievable looking French fries called Suicide Fries. I couldn't find a copycat recipe for these handcut fries topped with a hot pepper medley and then a habenero hot sauce, so I came up with my own....

• Popcorn Chicken

  by Sarah Ellis November 20, 2012
  They are great for an appetizer, but also great with fries, potato skins, etc for a delicious dinner! They had a perfect blend of seasoning and were great without sauce. Of course, tossing it with buffalo sauce was just out of this world. Read more...

• Fresh Spinach & Tomato Tuna Pasta

  by Sarah Ellis November 5, 2012
  I was watching a bunch of Giada at Home one weekend. It was nearing lunchtime and I was really craving some pasta. So I took to my kitchen and searched my fridge and pantry for different ingredients to put together. The particular episode I was watching she used spinach in her pasta. I'm lucky to...

• Olive Garden Pasta e Fagoli Soup {Copycat}

  by Sarah Ellis November 5, 2012
  Yum yum yum! So I have never had this soup at Olive Garden, although if I do go again, I will definitely have the real thing to compare. What I can say about this soup though - it was packed full of flavor. All the different elements worked together so beautifully. The colors were gorgeous. Everyo...

• Pork Chops & Pineapple Fried Rice

  by Sarah Ellis November 5, 2012
  Let's play a guessing game! Guess whose recipe this is?? .... .... .... Did you guess Pioneer Woman? Because you'd be right. Guess what I'm gonna say? Delicious, family favorite, outstanding, etc. Yep. Same as always. You have to try this recipe! Loved the pineapple with the fried rice and the por...

• Sweet 'N Spicy Hawaiian Pizza

  by Sarah Ellis November 5, 2012
  This pizza was absolutely incredible. I'm not a fan of apricots, but replacing the tomato sauce with apricot preserves was not an issue at all here. The flavors all went together so perfectly. So much better than a purchased Hawaiian pizza. Read more here...

• Raspberry Cheesecake Muffins

  by Sarah Ellis November 5, 2012
  I've made cheesecake muffins before and they were great, but I loved how these ones you just put a dollop of cream cheese right in there. It was very easy and efficient - instead of cubed up 8 oz. of cream cheese. Read more here...

• Grilled Chicken Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce

  by Sarah Ellis October 26, 2012
  This one really surprised me with the tomato cream sauce. I expected more of a spaghetti sauce taste to it, but it was more rich and creamy. Very decadent. Loved the pairing of the sauce with the chicken - especially with the Montreal Steak Seasoning. This is a must-try recipe!! Read more here!

  A perfect excuse to have carrot cake for breakfast. These donuts were every bit as delicious as they look. They were soft and moist and the frosting was incredible.Read more!

• Hawaiian Pizza Grilled Cheese

  by Sarah Ellis October 25, 2012
  As a child, I always loved when I found out we were having Hawaiian pizza for dinner. I'm not sure why now as an adult, I don't ever make it. I definitely need to change that. This, however, is a great middle ground because my family loves grilled cheese and they are so quick and easy to make for a ...
