Ever since my hubby and I got our new griddle/panini press, we’ve been thinking of ways to use it. We’ve mostly used it for making breakky on the weekends, but tonight, we made chicken quesadillas!! Nothing complicated, just some good old, sauteed chicken, lots of nummy Tex-Mex shredded cheese and salsa. Placed the folded tortilla on the panini press, and let it heat through for 10mins or so. Paired it with a side salad, and voila, an easy peasy dinner for two…omnomnom!!

And what better way to celebrate it, then with a maple cupcake, from Metro’s bakery? A vanilla cupcake, with a light chocolate frosting and drizzle of maple…omnomnom. If you live near a Metro grocery store, get yourself in there now, while they have a whole bunch of maple baked goodies!!

This is what I decided to make this week, for our big pot meal!! Since we’re in the middle of winter, we always love making chili to warm up with 🙂 I found this recipe on AllRecipes.com, which looked to be a basic recipe, that you can add to with whatever you like. I personally have never used tomato sauce when makin chili, but there’s a first time for everythin right?! So, I used Hunt’s Thick & Rich Spicy Red Pepper & Chilies Tomato Sauce, and it worked really well 🙂
The recipe looks like it makes a thick chili. But, my hubby and I love a chili with a bit more liquid in it, so I added 2 cups of beef broth. I also added cumin, more cayenne pepper and chili powder then it calls for, 1 jalapeno (seeded) and we had leftover bacon so we added that too. After cooking on High for 4hrs, I served it over tortilla chips, and garnished with shredded cheese and sour cream…omnomnom!! If you’re a lover of chili, I’d recommend this recipe. If you liked it as much as we did, I’m sure you’ll add it to your repotoire too.
Bon Appetit Everyone!! 🙂
The bottom right says it all…omnomnom!! LOL
When I first heard of this, from a friend, I was like…’what?!’ LOL But I was told that it was amazing. So I looked it up and found the recipe, through the Today’s Parent Forum to try out, for Super Bowl sunday a few weekends back. It was pretty simple to make, and even though we made it without the bread bowl the original recipe calls for, it still turned out very yummy!! Mind you, what ISN’T yummy, when bacon and cheese is involved right?! 😉 I’d definitely recommend you try this out for yourselves, as I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!!

My hubby surprised me, and brought these scrumptious goodies home for us yesterday…omnomnom!! The Chocolate Iced Heart is basically their Chocolate Iced Kreme Filled donut, but in the shape of a cute heart 🙂 The Double Chocolate is basically their Chocolate Iced Glazed with a swirl of chocolate cream in the centre…pure nummy evilness!! These donuts are available at Krispy Kreme until tomorrow (Valentine’s Day – February 14), so get them while they last 🙂

Salty, sweet, pepperminty goodness all wrapped up in a cute snowflake shaped pretzel!! I noticed these around the holidays, and having loved the chocolate dipped pretzels they have, grabbed a bag to give them a try. They were omnomnom-licious…I’ll definitely be buying these every year!!

We’re not die hard fans of the sport, but we do like a good game!! So, I’ve been looking for some new dip recipes. I came across one from Food.com, which is simple, and just heard about another dip that sounds omnomnom-licious.
Anyone have suggestions or traditional Super Bowl fare you make every year?! If so, I’d love to hear them!!
Bon Appetit Everyone 🙂
Hi everyone!! Hope you’re having a great new year so far, and had a wonderful holiday season!! Sorry I’m just posting now, but I’ve really only gotten used to being back from our trip to Turkey.

So, to start off my new year of blogging, I’m going to leave you with an adorable Hello Kitty Cake!! How cute is this?! Especially with the glasses…LOVE!!
