Seriously, who doesn’t love garlic bread? Now let me ask you this, who wouldn’t love a savory yeast bread dinner roll made with pesto and Parmesan cheese? That’s what I thought. I modified my cinnamon roll recipe into a savory version filled with garlic, basil, cheesy goodness. All kidding aside, we really love these rolls. There is something special about fresh baked bread right out of the oven but when you add pesto swirled inside a roll, it takes it up several notches. The aroma of pesto and fresh bread is heavenly. Can life get any better? Our family loves these rolls and I know yours will too. [click to continue…]

I’ve been light on posting recipes here the last couple weeks – sorry. Last week my children had the whole week off from school and every night we’ve been staying up far too late watching the Winter Olympics in Vancouver BC. I usually work on posting recipes after they go to bed but instead have been caught up in Olympic mania. Can you blame me? Each night we’ve been watching our favorite athletes compete and its been thrilling! As a parent of 2 young daughters who play sports all-year round, the Olympics get our full attention in our house.
But today I have a really simple and wonderful pasta recipe for you. It is made with penne pasta, spinach, bacon, and a few other ingredients. The flavor of the pasta is very light and seasoned just enough allowing the bacon and spinach to shine. This would be the perfect recipe for a weeknight meal or as a side dish. [click to continue…]

Last year I posted a recipe for Gluten-Free BitterSweet Choc0late Decadence cookies which are truley decadent. Today I share a similar chocolate chocolate chip cookie which is a chocolate lover’s dream come true. What I love about this recipe is how easy the dough is to work with and how decadent the texture is. They literally melt in your mouth with each bite. Although I used semi-sweet chocolate chips, feel free to use any type of chocolate chips you like including peanut butter or mint. This recipe also calls for an optional 1/2 cup of chopped nuts. If you do decide to add nuts I suggest almonds, peanuts, macadamia, walnuts, or pecan. And if you happen to have any instant coffee on hand such as Starbucks Via, feel free to add 2 teaspoons to the dough as well. [click to continue…]

Have you ever been to a party where the host served fruit with a gooey, sweetened cream? Chances are you were eating fruit dip. This creamy dip looks like whipped cream but is much sweeter, thicker, and denser. This particular recipe is my go-to fruit dip recipe because its simple, easy, fast, and always popular at brunches, potlucks, and showers. With Valentine’s Day just a few days away I thought I would share this great dessert idea you can pull together within minutes. This recipe only requires two ingredients and perfectly pairs well with strawberries. [click to continue…]
