I’m kicking off this cold Monday with one of my all time favorite Pinterest finds! Crock Pot Loaded Potato Soup! It’s quick. It’s easy. It’s delicious! If you don’t think you can cook… this is your recipe! It’s rich, creamy, and the perfect comfort food for a cold winters day. I like to call it “snow day” soup but, you can just call it wonderful!
Whats Cooking
Nothing goes with a warm bowl of chili or taco soup on a cold winter’s day, like a moist piece of buttery sweet corn bread! In the South it’s a staple on every Holiday dinner table. Today I’m sharing my favorite recipe for corn bread. It’s sweet! It’s moist! It’s buttery! And most of all…it’s GOOD!
Today I’m sharing my version of “Mock Mulled Wine”! To be exact…A delicious non-alcoholic Slow Cooker Blood Orange Mock Mulled Wine! (Whew! That’s a mouth full!) A wonderful change from spiced cider this tasty hot beverage made with white grape juice and Stirrings Blood Orange Martini Mixer is the perfect cuddle drink for your Valentines!
We’re kicking Monday off right! I have the perfect easy weeknight recipe for your Nest. Easy Chicken Parmesan! I discovered this recipe years ago while sitting in the dentist office! (Yuck!) Of course I had to add my own twist and kick it up a notch or two, but it’s still super simple to throw together and it’s sure to be a hit at your dinner table!
I love cinnamon sugar donuts! Unfortunately I am always craving them on a Saturday morning when the last thing I want to do is get showered and dressed and run the 15 miles into town to grab one! So I always keep a handy dandy can of Pillsbury Grand Biscuits around so when the craving hits, and trust me…it will, I am ready to make these easy quick and delicious donuts!
I have to admit I have a new food obsession! It’s all the beautiful cheese platters, or cheese boards, out there right now! I love the depth of color and variety they offer. They are perfect year round and allow you to be creatively expressive. They offer something for everyone.! Especially for this cheese and cracker lover. Great on game day or maybe for a romantic Valentines evening! Come explore the new rage with me.
I’m starting 2017 off with this beautiful healthy (it has green in it) delicious Shrimp Taco Salad! This is my own creation and I’m pretty darn proud of it! If I do say so myself. It’s light and packed full of amazing flavors. Starting with the marinated fresh shrimp down to the creamy lime avocado cilantro dressing! Get ready to have a flavor party in your mouth! It’s divine and super easy!
Happy NYE Eve! I’m down with a cold, but that isn’t going to stop me from sharing my favorite hot dip recipe with you. You have to have it for your big New Years Eve parties! Hot Spinach and Artichoke dip is a classic. It’s not exactly new on the party scene. However, I’ve stepped it up a notch by serving it on a buttery garlic toasted Crostini! The combination of the two is OUT OF THIS WORLD! In a word… Amazing! I don’t think I’ll ever eat it again with corn chips. Your guest will absolutely love this dip/crostini combination. Come take a peek at how simple this is to make. Best part…you can make it ahead of time! One less thing on the “to-do” list! 😉
There are two things that go together…I think it’s almost illegal if you don’t have both. What am I talking about…Football and Wings! Is it even possible to watch a Super Bowl without having a big ol’ plate of sticky, hot and sweet, lip smacking wings? I’m pretty sure it’s a Technical…flags down all over the place, if you even try to watch a game without at least a wing in each fist! Right? You can skip all the other food at the party, but you better have a GREAT platter of Ribs! These my friends…are GREAT WINGS! You’re gonna love’em!
Here it is…The last holiday cookie for 2016! As they say, “I saved the best for last!”. I truly did. It’s no great secret I’m a lover of all things cheesecake! These Cheesecake Cookies, with snicker pieces hiding in the cheesecake filling, are the ultimate holiday cookie! I hope you love them as much as I do! Here’s wishing a very Merry Christmas to all my Nest friends! Enjoy!
