As part of our Super Bowl Sunday spread, I decided to make something new, to see how it tastes. I perused the interweebs, and found this recipe, that caught my eye. My hubby and I are fans of Jalapeno Poppers, so we thought we’d give this one a go. It’s a definitely a twist on the original, but was easy to make, and not bad. The recipe says it makes 16 servings, but I have at least another batch worth, of the filling left. So for us, it actually makes twice as much, which we’ll make at another time. Definitely great for a crowd though, since it makes so much!!
I was also looking to make a new dessert, so when I came across this Creamy Apple Dessert recipe, I wanted to give it a try!! It was definitely a hit with us, and even my parents. It tastes like an apple cheesecake, so if you’re into that combo, you’ll like it too. This recipe would be even better with cherry pie filling, which is what I’ll be trying next time for sure!! I may actually take the time, to make the filling from scratch, to lessen the sugar content. Will be sure to make this one again soon.

Decided to make a bulgur salad, as that’s the grain we have in the house. I was looking for something different, then the usual Tabbouleh it’s used in. I looked around the interwebs, and in the end saw one that caught my eye. I just took the idea, of the recipe, and made it my own though. I started with cooked course bulgur, added grape tomatoes, carrots, feta cheese, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, black pepper and garlic pepper. I mixed it all together and voila 🙂 It turned out really yummy, so I’ll definitely make it again!!

We made these for Christmas a few year’s back, and loved them then, but hadn’t made them since. I’ve been trying out new recipes since then, but decided to make these again today. They’re super easy, and taste just like egg nog!! The holidays are nothing without egg nog right?! So why not in a cookie!! If you like egg nog, then definitely give this cookie a try, I’m sure you’ll like it as much as we do 🙂 I can’t find the exact recipe I have, but this one is the closest I found online…

We made these last Christmas, and we loved them!! Last year, we made them right around Christmas, but this year, we didn’t get to making them until this past Monday. The original recipe calls for rum, but we’re not a fan, so I tried peppermint and they’re so yummy!! This recipe is on our list of holiday recipes, and if you give it a try, it may just get onto yours too 🙂

So, I’ve always loved Nutella…I mean…chocolate and hazelnut…enough said right? WRONG. Chocolate and peanut butter…of course!! Funny thing is I LOVE the choco-peanut combo, so I’m not sure why it took me so long, to actually get around to trying this PB. I’ll tell you…I won’t be going back to Nutella ever again, because Kraft’s Chocolate PB hits every craving spot. If you haven’t tried it yet, I would definitely recommend you do, you may not go back to Nutella either LOL

When in Turkey, or raised in a Turkish household, this is a staple breakfast food. It was one of my favourites growing up, and I finally decided to make it myself 🙂 The combination of lightly scrambled eggs in a yummy tomato, pepper, onion and garlic sauce is pure Heaven. Dunking toast into it, is the best part too…omnomnom. I made mine the way my Mom makes it, but the recipe below, is a great guide – if you want to give it a try!!

I made this soup, a couple week’s back, before Thanksgiving. I basically followed this recipe, but I passed on the Tabasco sauce, and added cayenne pepper instead…it was SPICY!! Just how we like it 😀 It was really good, and it’s a great go-to, one pot soup to make.

A while back I had a bunch of fruit, that was very ripe, so I decided to turn them into a fruit salad. I searched around for a recipe, and came across the one below. The fruits I used were different, since at the time I had, apples, peaches, pears and plums. But how the recipe is made, is what I took from it (as well as adding a touch of honey), and it turned out really good!! Will definitely make it again, especially since, any fruit combination works.
