This is the newest “craze” at our Nest! Oh sure we’ve been making breakfast burritos for years, but I decided to “bulk” up and make enough for a couple of weeks so that Mars could get off the “Mickey Dee’s” Egg McMuffin merry-go-round! It was a close call friends…but I think we’ve found a new ride at this nest!
Sunday’s are pretty busy days at this Nest, and yet, I still want to have a fantastic hearty & delicious family meal to serve. Slow Cooker Beef Pot Roast surrounded by baby potatoes and carrots is a favorite at this Nest. I love that you can dump it, go, and come back to a scrumptious dinner that everyone will love! This is a great “beginner” meal for first time cooks or college students!
Fluff Salads speak to my inner salad soul! What’s not to love about a dessert that masquerades as a salad? Okay in all seriousness…this Strawberry Pineapple Fluff Jello Salad is light and creamy.

You? Well…you’re gonna wanna hide in the back of the closet with a spoon and have your own personal “Fluff Salad” party!

It’s loaded with chicken, bacon, cheese, and tater tots. Ya know…all the good stuff! If you have 5 minutes…you have time to make this casserole!

Nothing better than a great “Flapjack” to say “Good-morning sunshine!”
I’ve tweaked a lot of cheesecake recipes in my day! However, I have never completely developed my very own cheesecake recipe…until now! My Grandma used to say…”If you’re going to do a job…do it well or not at all!” I’m happy to say the wait to create my very own cheesecake was worth it! This Coconut Raspberry Cheesecake is truly the BEST cheesecake I’ve ever had! The Coconut Cheesecake is so creamy it melts in your mouth. The coconut cookie crust is superb! The Raspberry swirl…out of this world! It’s perfect for your Easter dinner!
When it comes to the King of Elegant Breakfast foods…Eggs Benedict is at the VERY top of the list! It’s a dish I’ve wanted to conquer for years. Admittedly it can be intimidating. However, I’ve worked hard creating a recipe that makes preparing this scrumptious royal treat a breeze! I’ve kicked it up a few notches by adding a delicious avocado spread, two types of bacon, and the most delicious Hollandaise sauce ever!
