Welcome to the weekend, my friends! It’s good to be home. Our weather has cooled off again, no surprise there, but there are hints of spring everywhere. We have bright yellow daffodils in the yard and I grin every time I see them.
ON THE BLOG this week: Sweet berries and buttery cake are perfectly combined in this very easy six-ingredient Berry Cake recipe. A friend who shall not be named <cough> Lynne <cough> may have helped me consume a ridiculous amount of this cake when I made it again to photograph it a while back.
Crisp, buttery tortillas filled with spicy chicken and melting cheese add up to a buffalo chicken quesadilla that any fan of buffalo chicken is certain to love.
Roasted sweet potatoes, browned and slightly caramelized on the edges, are tossed with spicy hot sausage and handfuls of baby spinach to create a flavorful Sausage Sweet Potato Hash.
Pasta with broccoli and mushrooms in a garlicky cream sauce is a quick dinner that my whole family enjoys.
Want to spice up your chicken tacos and take them to the next level? Mix together a batch of homemade chicken taco seasoning and give it a try.
Fresh green beans with a buttery, cheesy sauce and a crispy breadcrumb topping will get rave reviews and clean plates every time. Tired of the traditional green bean casserole? Try this green bean gratin next time and you might have a new holiday favorite.
This is not your average Cookies and Cream Ice Cream, this isn’t Oreo dust or a few crumbles of cookies stirred into ice cream. This is nearly an entire package of chocolate sandwich cookies stuffed into a batch of ice cream and you’re going to love it.
You only need a handful of ingredients to make a Homemade Chocolate Sauce that it tastes better than any chocolate syrup you can buy at the store.
What I’m CRAVING: This Lemon Ice Box cake! I stumbled on it again the other day, having saved the recipe to try over ten years ago. Let’s just say it’s a “fussy” recipe, at least at first glance, but oh my word, it sounds incredible. I’m putting it on my list to finally make one weekend when I feel like playing in the kitchen.
My FAVORITE THING this week is my Kitsch hair towel scrunchie. (I’ve been using these microfiber towel scrunchies for several years now.) I pull my hair back with one when I get out of the shower. They remove a lot of water without the hassle of wrapping your hair in a towel. I’ve gifted them to friends many times and everyone who has tried them has loved them too.
What I’m READING: The Awakening by Nora Robers. This is the second book in the Dragon Heart Series and the books continue to be a fun read. If you enjoy fantasy fiction, check them out.
“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9 ESV
Wishing you a beautiful week full of little things that make you smile!
