Grilled Italian Pork

I wanted to make pork of some sort and thought that I'd try marinating it in Italian dressing. I have done chicken that way and steak that way too, which have never been disappointing. I wasn't disappointed this time either. It was delicious!

Baked Hasselback Potatoes

I've been eyeing hasselback potatoes for a while now. They look so frickin' good and boy, was I right!

Pizza Bites with Basic Pizza Dough

The pizza bites were a huge hit! My kids devoured them. The pizza dough was very easy and quick. AND it made enough for 2 pizzas, so I was able to freeze half the recipe to use at a later time. I'm thinking perhaps Copycat Domino's Cinna Stix :)

Picture update 12/13/2013 

This was unbelievably good! I cannot even describe how delicious because I wouldn't even get close to how good it is!

Chocolate Chip Muffins

This is definitely better than the first one I tried - not too much vanilla and they are so moist! Normally I have an issue with muffins overflowing and I was nervous that I overfilled the paper cups, but it turns out that these muffins bake really well and don't overflow and get all wonky! Oh and I took a bite before I took a picture. I couldn't wait!

Sweet & Sour Chicken

I've been craving some hibachi-style food lately. I decided to make some Chinese food with it too.

I love sweet & sour chicken so much, but I've never made it at home. 

This recipe was really simple and it was so delicious!!

Carmel Rolls

This is a super simple, AWESOME recipe! I don't know if it's an original from my mom or if she got it from somewhere else, but seriously...you gotta try it! It's the most delicious thing ever!

S'mores Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

What is heaven? If you were looking for the answer, keep reading!

Crockpot Chicken Fajitas

 These were very good! Definitely a keeper for busy days :)

Quick & Tasty Cheesesteak Subs

A good thing about deployments is that I can test out recipes before my husband gets home. Especially ones that I think he will like, like this one. This was a huge success. I normally don't like cheesesteaks, but I thought this one was delicious! I added green peppers into the mix :)

The Chewy

Ahhh...the infamous Chewy from Alton Brown. I've been wanting to try this forever. It was a delicious recipe! I think it's tied with the Tollhouse recipe. It's a good filling cookie and the bread flour makes it a bit more cake-like.

Broccoli Fettuccine Alfredo

 This was simple and absolutely delicious. I've never been a fan of alfredo until now! It was just amazing :) I also think my picky 4 year old is starting to be non-picky. He loved this AND ate all his broccoli too!

Baked Potato Skins

Homemade baked potato skins are very easy. I would say much cheaper than premade and you can make mashed potatoes out of it as well. So you get 2 sides out of 1 recipe!
