 |
| {placed them in cupcake holders..great for serving} Came across Banana Cake Bites and thought they were super fun. Its is a easy little treat to serve at a party! Instead of making the pound cake and making the pudding I got pre-made. It was just as good and it was easy to make. I recommend topping the cakes with diced walnuts. Im going to try that with the rest of the batch! |

| This recipe Chicken Shepards Pie is a healthier version of a beef one. I always like to make a casserole or dish at the end of the week. My man and I end up eating it all within a couple of days for lunch. This recipe involves a lot of chopping and slicing {make sure you have a helper}. Its like having a complete meal with this one dish. It has chicken, egg, cheese, tomatoes, spinach and potatoes. My man said"Put that on the make again list" Im guessing its a winner:} |

| I decided to make some candy today... the good thing about this recipe Hokey Pokey {aka Honeycomb} is there are only a couple things you need. I did attempt this twice before I got it just right. The recipe does not tell you to cook the sugar and syrup to the hardball stage{which is why I had to do this twice}. I have always loved this candy! I remember getting it at a candy store all the time. Super excited that I can whip up a batch anytime now=} It took me right back to when I was little. |

| Today it was The first day in a long time it has been hot outside. Im not a huge drinker, but every now and then a drink sounds good. I only will drink something if its sweet, so i decided to make Strawberry-Coconut Daiquiris. I changed the recipe a little. I prefer lemon over lime, split the fruit half pineapple half strawberry. My man and I love this drink! Its about 112 calories a serving, not bad! |

[Letting my tomatoes dry out with salt. I chose to use cornmeal to fry them} |
 |
| Finished it off with some chicken:} I decide to make something that takes me back..Fried Green Tomato Salad with Chipotle Dressing. Since I am half Creole, I have fond memories of my mom making fried green tomatoes for me. Here is a little spin to it. To say that this was an easy recipe would make me a liar. Making the dressing from scratch while tomatoes are frying is not ideal. The green tomatoes were difficult to find but the Adobe sauce was almost impossible. After 3 stores, I finally found it at a random mexican store. I found the recipe to make the sauce and that seemed even more difficult! so the search was well worth it. Despite the hassle, it was two thumbs up! |
