Appetizers and Dips

Cowboy Caviar

Move over, guacamole. I am guessing that this amazing dip would be “caviar” to anybody, cowboys or otherwise.  We are going camping in Leavenworth this weekend, and one of my favorite things to do at the place where I spent so many childhood summers, is to sit under the shade of the big apple tree, in the field… Continue reading Cowboy Caviar

The Ultimate Peanut Butter Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats

Since I made Ultimate Rice Krispie Treats back in February, I have probably made them half a dozen more times.  That’s a lot for me.  Krispie Treats were a rarity in my life before I found that recipe.  I thought of them as just okay.  Now they are bomb.com. I’m not sure when the idea… Continue reading The Ultimate Peanut Butter Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats

Blueberry Buckle

I’ve been making blueberry buckle for years.  It was one of the very first recipes I ever made by myself when I started learning how to bake.  If you’ve never had blueberry buckle, it’s really just a single layer blueberry cake topped with a streusel crunch topping.  It’s a lot like a big blueberry muffin,… Continue reading Blueberry Buckle

If you’ve never had  Fisher Scone… Continue reading Copycat Fisher Fair Scones

Whole 30 Mocha

So, before all the Whole 30 Sherrifs come on here and yell at me, I will state for the record that I am well aware that this recipe is what the Hartwigs would call “sex with your pants on. ” In fact, it’s so rich, frothy, and creamy and seems so much like you’re drinking… Continue reading Whole 30 Mocha

Chrissy Teigen’s Chinese Chicken Salad

I will start out by saying that this is one of the best salads I have ever eaten in my entire life.  And I have had a lot of good salads.  It was like “pour the entire thing into a giant mixing bowl and eat until you feel sick” good. Lets just say I have… Continue reading Chrissy Teigen’s Chinese Chicken Salad
