Peanut Butter Yogurt Dip - a delicious and quick anytime snack!

Hey y’all! Stephanie here again. I love a good late night snack recipe. Lately, I’ve been munching on apples and sharp cheddar cheese or a Strawberry Goat Cheese Toast when I’ve stayed up far too late editing photos or writing my next blog post.  I was sorting some old emails the other day when I came across this Peanut Butter Yogurt Dip recipe I’d sent to myself a few years ago. I knew I just had to make it as my next late night snack and share it with y’all! [Read more…]

Marcella Rose here.  Now if you are like me, you’re constantly trying to save money and what a better way to save than to use those leftovers! It’s always a shame to throw away perfectly good food, am I right? Now I don’t just like to warm up a leftover, though I have been known to do so, but where is the imagination in that?!  What I love is taking a leftover and making something extraordinary with it; something that makes the family run to the table.

So today I want to share with you an easy and quick recipe that will use your leftover white rice in a flash and with some panache!  I mean we all order take out and it seems that with every dish comes the ubiquitous box of white rice. You may eat a scoop, but I have never once used up all the rice.  Sometimes I make a rice pudding (I will share that recipe with you next time!) but most times I make fried rice.

What I love about fried rice is that your can serve it for every meal! If I serve it in the morning I like to baste an egg and place it on top; the gooey, runny yolk makes for a great sauce on the rice and really puts it over the top for the first meal of the day.  Serve this at a brunch and your guests will be stunned and love every bit of it.

I love BBQs! I honestly do. In spite of my vehement hatred of almost everything summer, BBQs are the one thing I actually look forward to in warm weather.

I adore the idea of gathering around a big picnic table with friends and family, an array of grilled food before me, beckoning me to indulge in at least one of everything.

There are some days, however, when you want the feel of a summer BBQ without the hassle, and these Bacon-Wrapped Summer BBQ Hot Dogs are an amazing solution for those days! [Read more…]
