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 :)

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!!
