I love puff pastry. It is not something, however, I will EVER make from scratch. I’m just not that insane….yet! I think one of the most mouth-watering experiences is walking into a pastry shop with every kind of magical danish calling to you from behind the glass. You just know it will be love at first bite. These little Cherry Cream Cheese Knots are just that type of Danish and best part…You made them!

I’ve got an amazingly easy and delicious recipe to share with you today! Slow Cooker Chicken Chili Verde. I’m not sure which adjective adequately describes this dish…Yummy? Mouth-Watering? Spectacular? Luscious? Flavorful? I have to go with “All of the Above”! Seriously, the flavors going on in this dish, are gonna knock your socks off…unless your not wearing socks…then I have no idea what’s gonna happen? So ya better hold on and get ready for a whole lot of YUM coming your way!
So have you heard? Mission Tortillas is making Street Taco Corn Tortillas!!! I absolutely LOVE Street Tacos. What’s not to love about a Mini Taco that fits in the palm of your hand and can be eaten in three to four bites? If that isn’t enough…this recipe is one of the BEST Street Tacos EVER! My family went NUTS over these tiny tacos! They are jammed packed full of flavor and are sure to be a new favorite at your Nest!
A year ago I discovered I had a secret Quiche lover living at my house. You’ll never believe who it was? I’m still in shock! So just to test if they truly were as much a Quiche lover as they claimed to be…I made this ultra delicious loaded vegetable Quiche. Three slices later it…yup…it passed the test! Quiche is a perfect brunch dish. It’s easy to make yet elegant to serve!
If you want to elevate your brunch game, and who doesn’t… you have got to try these amazing light and flaky buttermilk scones! I made them for my Mother’s Day Brunch. To say they were the most delectable scone I have ever had would be an understatement. What I love about this scone recipe is how easy it is to make with ingredients you probably have on hand. Honestly this recipe will not disappoint. I promise! (I take scone promises VERY seriously!!!)
I love Lemon Curd! What I don’t love is the work involved in making it. I’m not a big fan of any recipe that calls for a “double-boiler”. I cringe just typing it. I know when I hear the word “double-boiler” it means there will be a lot of time and attention required to make that recipe. So when I ran across this recipe for Lemon Curd made in your Microwave…I was SO excited. I was a little worried how it would turn out…I didn’t need to be…it turned out AMAZING! The BEST Lemon Curd EVER!
For two years I’ve been drooling over this Cheesecake. I decided it was high time I actually make it! So I did! It’s every bit as good as it looks. If you love cheesecake as much as I love cheesecake…you need to make this masterpiece! I think my husband may have made himself sick on this cheesecake he ate so much of it. (That my friends is an endorsement you can take to the bank!) Oh…and don’t let the Amaretto scare you off! Remember you can always “bring a cup of it to a boil to bake off the alcohol, if you don’t drink, and all you’re left with is the warm rich flavors of Amaretto. I do this all the time and leave a container of it in my spice cupboard for baking.
I truly LOVE fresh fruit pies. I think I love them even more than baked fruit pies? Hmmmm? (I may need to get back to you on that!) Any who…I am slightly giddy over this fresh strawberry pie. It’s just like Mom made. (Mom if this isn’t your recipe do NOT crush my illusions) It is as delicious as it looks. I know it was all over Facebook last week and I knew the minute I saw it, I was going to make it. It’s the perfect Mother’s Day dessert. Mom’s love eating fresh fruit in pie… it’s guilt free cause it counts as one of our fruit servings! YES it does!!! (Course so are jelly fruit filled donuts…I’d use extreme caution when choosing to argue that point!) I think my new tag line will be… “Just saving husbands lives one tip at a time”! Enough of this…come check out this mouth-watering pie!
It’s almost time for my favorite foodie Holiday! No… It’s not Thanksgiving. It’s Cinco de Mayo! I love a holiday that allows me to have all the melted cheese and guacamole I want. Then there’s those chips and fresh salsa… and let’s not forget the Fried Ice Cream Cake! I have compiled all our favorites into one post with links to every single recipe. Let’s Fiesta!
If you’re a fan of Chipotle Mexican Grill you will LOVE this recipe for Easy Slow Cooker Beef Barbacoa! I’ve personally never been to a Chipotle Mexican Grill. (I know…Gasp!) However… my kids informed me this tastes JUST like their Beef Barbacoa. It’s also the perfect “grab and go” meal when you’re heading out to the soccer fields or soft ball games. I know how busy spring time is for the Moms of budding athletes. This is a great easy recipe for your busy week ahead!
