Banana Rum Fritters

Banana Rum Fritters
I love fritters of all kinds! Sweet or savory!  I've tried onion fritters, corn fritters, and apple fritters, along with these banana rum fritters! Fruit fritters are even better when you pair them with ice cream! But adding rum just steps it up a notch! And don't worry, you can feed these to children because the alcohol burns off during the frying process.

Cheesy Thumbprint Cookies with Hot Pepper Jelly

Recently I blogged about an easy and perfectly delicious way to make stove top hot pepper jelly without having to use canning methods. You can see that post **Here**

Cheesy Thumbprint Cookies with Hot Pepper JellyThen I stumbled onto a unique way to serve the hot pepper jelly by adding them to these savory, cheesy, thumbprint cookies! The cookies are very tasty all by themselves. They remind me of big, soft, 'Cheez-It' crackers. So adding the hot pepper jelly just made it twice as tasty! The thumbprint cookies are so very easy to make! They're just 3 ingredients...sharp cheddar cheese, butter and flour. And they bake up in less than 20 minutes. This makes a great little appetizer!

Here is the link to the cheesy thumbprint cookies...**Link**

Easy Crockpot Thai Pork

Easy Crockpot Thai Pork

Easy crockpot recipes just make life so much simpler! And I love these crockpot liners because they make crockpot cooking twice as easy! I know it says 'SlowCooker' on the box, but it's all the same to me. I never use my crockpot/slowcooker without them. If you can't find them in your local food store ask the store to order them. King Kullen grocery stores and Ace Hardware stores sell them. I always buy them from Ace in large quantities!

 Try this wonderful Thai dish in your crockpot or slowcooker. Easy to make and so delicious!

Microwave Teriyaki Potatoes

Microwave Teriyaki Potatoes
This is one of my favorite potato side dishes! It was posted on a cooking site called GroupRecipes by a cook known as Chefmeow. I first tried this recipe about 2 years ago and have made it many times since then. This microwave recipe takes only about 20 minutes to make from start to finish!

Party Popcorn!

Party Popcorn
I think I can eat popcorn all day everyday and never get tired of it as long as I have a variety of flavors to choose from! And I have tried MANY flavors in my lifetime! Blueberry is still my #1 favorite flavor but I don't like having a blue tongue, fingers and lips from eating it!

This one looked and sounded tasty...and who doesn't like anything with the word 'Party' in the title?

This is a recipe I created while trying to find new ways to prepare eggs! In my house we like to have breakfast for dinner once a week. It's fast, cheap and everyone likes eggs, so there's no whining!

Fried Stuffed Olives

Fried Stuffed Olives

I first saw this recipe on Pinterest.
There are actually lots of recipes on Pinterest for Fried Stuffed Olives.
So I decided to try this one from a food blog named Bell Allimento.

I didn't follow her recipe for the stuffing mixture because
 I didn't have some of the ingredients needed.
My filling ingredients were...

Vinegar Pie?

Vinegar Pie
What the heck is a 'Vinegar Pie'? It doesn't sound very appetizing! That's exactly what ran through my head when I saw this recipe! But it sounded so unique that I had to find out! So I got brave and gave it a whirl!

Cream Cheese Sweet Almond Wheat Bread

Cream Cheese Sweet Almond Wheat Bread

I'm always on the look out for new foods to have with my morning coffee. I get bored eating the same thing every morning. But I want something that's on the healthy side. I usually eat cereal and yogurt or granola with a cup of decaf coffee. It needs to be low fat but filling.

Shot Glass Desserts

Shot Glass Desserts

Lately the new fad in dining are these cute little shot glass desserts. I order them whenever I see them on the menu in restaurants because they're the perfect dessert amount for when you're just too full for a regular sized dessert!

Grilled Romaine Lettuce

Grilled Romaine Lettuce
I know this sounds like a strange way to prepare lettuce but it's delicious! The first time I tried this was at a BBQ at my sisters house. She asked me if I wanted to taste it and I said 'no way'...but my sister and I have similar taste in food and she LOVED this, so I decided to take a little taste. Well, I ended up eating LOTS of this!
