I love salads…but I’m lazy when it comes to making them. I don’t like prepping the lettuce! Pathetic…but true. So when I saw this idea for a Wedge Caesar Salad…I yelled “Stop the boat and let me aboard!” In every aspect this is one AMAZING salad. It’s easy to prepare and it’s SO delicious! You’re gonna love this one my friends!

Christmas morning is always a little “cray-cray” around this Nest! Even with all the crazy going on I wan the “birds” at this Nest to have plenty of steam to open up their gifts. So several years ago… I came up with this hearty, tasty, and easy Breakfast Casserole. It’s loaded with flavor, and protein, to keep them going throughout the morning…well that a little hot chocolate or spiced cider ought to do the trick!
When you need a last minute Christmas Cookie for a Cookie Exchange… or a Pastry for a Holiday Brunch Potluck…this is a quick, easy, and super delicious treat! They’re so fun to make and So delicious to eat!
These Christmas Sandwich Cremes have always been called “Hamburger Cookies” at this Nest and the Nest where I grew up. A delicate, flaky pastry cookie filled with sweet creamy filling…they melt in your mouth and are completely swoon worthy! You can take every other cookie off the Goodie Tray…just leave me my “Hamburger Cookies” and nobody gets hurt!
One of the joys of the Holiday Season are the specialty party foods! Like appetizers. I love appetizers! Little heavenly bites of YUM! One of my very favorite appetizers are these crab stuffed mushrooms. They’re easy to make, elegant, and beyond delicious!
You’re just 4 ingredients, and one slow cooker, away from enjoying these rich, creamy, crunchy chocolate peanut clusters. So Quick and Easy! A wonderful gift for friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve adjusted this recipe for the newer crock pots that cook at higher temperatures. Follow my instructions and they’ll turn out PERFECT every time!
I was never a huge fan of Tamales. Then I tasted my friends Tamales! Whoa..Game changer! I begged her to teach me how to make them! She took pity on me. Thank heavens! Now they’re a yearly tradition at this Nest. Yes there’s a little bit of prep and work to them, but if I can make them…YOU can make them!
One of the “perks” of this time of year? Guilty Pleasure Desserts! This cake is a wonderful guilty pleasure. It’s everything you want a Holiday cake to be. It’s simple to make, moist, packed with buttery rum flavor, and crunchy delicious pecans. It melts in your mouth and has a “Swoon Factor” of 10+! I refuse to disclose how many slices I’ve had…just be warned…you may want to hide this one for yourself!
I’m kicking off Holiday Baking Season with one of my very favorite cookies! It’s like a candy and a cookie all in one! What could be better than that? (Not much…unless it’s fairies to do the dishes!) You’ll love the rich buttery chocolate cookie combined with the tender flavorful cherry. Top it off with the cherry chocolate frosting and BAAAA-ZINGA! One of the BEST Holiday cookies EVER! Hooray for Holiday Baking! We’ve got this…right?!!!
I’ve got a GREAT alternative to Prime Rib this Holiday Season. I realize with growing families not everyone can afford to serve Prime Rib! Yikes!!! I wanted to create a main dish elegant and tasty enough for your Christmas dinner table, yet hearty enough for the meat lovers at your Nest. I think I hit the mark with this Pork Shoulder Roast with a Cranberry Apricot Glaze. It’s good my friends. It’s REALLY good!
