It seems that the year began with a bang, and I haven't quite recovered from it! Rather than posting several different times, I thought it would be more sensible to compile one large, DELICIOUS post. So, here goes...
First, let me begin by saying that not everything delicious has to fall into the food category. These tulips, ever-so-lovingly purchased for me by my fantabulous hubs, qualify as delicious, in my opinion! Romance can be "delicious," right?!
(Okay, okay, on to the goods...)
Kraftrecipes.com introduced me to these wonderfully-amazingly-to.die.for. Strawberry Pretzel Squares. Sweet meets salty meets AMAZING, I say. You can find the recipe here.
Oh, Megan's Munchies. How I love you. And loathe you for all the inches you put on my waist.
These Snickerdoodle Pie Bars were adapted from Megan's recipe, and they were phenomenally gooey, sweet, and full of snickerdoodle cookie-ness.
Now THESE. These were possibly the best blueberry muffins ever made (and I'm not just saying that because I made them - seriously). And... get this... they're GOOD for you! Really - just substitute the white flour for whole wheat. Check out the recipe to see for yourself.
I had to throw these in here, basically because they are a staple around our house on lazy, cozy weekend mornings. Chocolate Chip Pancakes, baby. Complete with whipped cream and sliced strawberries. Yup. They're worth the work (which, really, isn't all that much).
Your basic ingredients:
Your basic instructions: Whip up the pancake batter according to the directions on the box, add in 2 tsp. of vanilla (or more if you like), 2 tsp. of cinnamon, and as many chocolate chips as you can stomach! Add these babies to a hot skillet, and they'll be looking like this in no time!
Whew! After all those sweets, I think we're due for a lighter recipe! Try this one on for size:
Homemade Strawberry Poppyseed Salad. Who needs Panera?!
This salad is - simply put - a.maz.ing. Yup. That good.
Your ingredients:
Lettuce (as much as you want, any kind you want)
Freshly-sliced strawberries
Granola (I like Quaker Natural Granola)
Light poppyseed dressing (I like Brianna's)
Your directions:
Throw it all in a bowl and mix until your heart is content! Next step: EAT and enjoy!
It seems time for more deliciosity. Coconut cream cheesecake deliciosity to be exact. The picture pretty much says it all, so click here to find the recipe.
...and perhaps one more for good measure. I do believe I may have saved the best for last, and I must thank Bakerella. This Apple Crunch Cake could very well have been the easiest (and one of the best) recipes ever. Apples, pecans, and yellow cake... oh my. Check it out here.
And just one more reminder that wonderful and delicious doesn't always have to mean food:
