Weekly Favorites 09/09/18 to 09/15/18

I hate say it, but I have been neglecting my beloved blog lately. My main hustle, has eclipsed my side
Weekly Favorites
hustle. On top of all of that, my life is about to take on another huge change, with the birth of my third son just around the corner. I am hoping that this doesn't eat in to any of my blogging time, but I am aware of the reality of having a baby in the house. You may have noticed the title of this post, and seen that it is over a month old! It's okay to take a break from time to time, but it pains me neglect this outlet. Anyway, on to the food!

Another week, another batch of favorites! This week, I decided to focus on my first two food loves, pastries and pasta!


The Ultimate Easy Savory Tart Recipe with Tomato, Pesto, and Goat Cheese - via Tooting Mama

I learned a long time ago that not all pastries are sweet! In Hawaii, I once had savory pancakes paired with fried chicken! That was a huge lesson for my culinary mind. A savory pastry can stand on it's own as a side? I can't wait to try this out!
Hot Chocolate Brownie Ice-Cream Sandwich - via Treasure Every Moment

I live in Texas, in Houston to be exact. If you follow Houston weather at all, you know it's hot. It's hot all the time. It's even hot in the winter! So, we find ourselves drinking hot chocolate, just because it is appropriate for the season! it may still be hot out, but it's December, so I'm having my hot chocolate. This ice-cream sandwich may be the solution we have been looking for!

Giant Chocolate Chip Sharing Cookie - via Treasure Every Moment

I have a pretty big appetite, sometimes to the point of greed. When the bowl of queso is nearing the end, I find myself sad that the queso is almost gone, only to realize that I have been chain eating chips and queso up until the point it is almost gone! I don't usually have that problem with cookies, because they are not usually shareable! Challenge accepted!

Spicy Bacon and Chorizo Penne - via Cooking with Anadi 

This recipe has three of my top requirements: spice, bacon, and pasta! Put these ingredients in any recipe, and you'll find me drawn to it like a fly to streetlight! Otherwise, this recipe is incredibly simple, with only 5 listed steps, which is another thing I like. I've never understood these recipes that list 37 ingredients, with 3 dozen steps. Food should be simple. I can't wait to try this one!

Weekly Favorites 07/29/18 to 08/04/18

Weekly FavoritesOne of the great things about me getting behind in the blog posts, is that you get two posts in one day! Here's another batch of weekly favorites. This week, it's all sweets and desserts!

Almond Ice Cream Bars - via Game of Cookies

 When you've got two little boys at home, you have to stay on your toes. Finding new snacks to keep them occupied and interested can be a challenge. This one they can even help make themselves!

Macadamia & Raspberry White Chocolate Blondie - via Tania's Kitchen

This blondie has a few things going for it. The texture isn't the heavy texture you normally get some blondies. I've had some that are more like a cookie bar than a blondie. These flavors mesh together so well and have that added sweetness after being dusted with powdered sugar. This actually looks like it could make a good breakfast cake!

Sticky Date, Toffee Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce - via Tania's Kitchen

The thing that drew me in to this recipe, was the butterscotch sauce. Hot fudge is great on ice cream, but I've always been a sucker for a good butterscotch sauce! Combine that with the toffee pudding, and you've got a winner for me!

Chocolate Afghans - via Tania's Kitchen

You may have now noticed, that I dove headfirst and explored Tania's Kitchen this week! She as some great recipes beyond these three here! I always like to have an assortment of things out when I have friends over for dinner, and these look not only super yummy, but also super easy to make! They also look portable, which is a must for parties when most people are standing around, talking!

Weekly Favorites 07/08/18 to 07/14/18

Weekly FavoritesTime for another batch of favorite food and restaurant articles! This week, I'm exploring articles from Red Thai Curry Prawns, to Fried Squash Blossoms!


Chocolate Coffee Nice Cream - via Daffodils and Lemons

 It's interesting to me that even though I am in no way trying to cut out any specific foods in my diet, I keep finding myself drawn to recipes using alternative ingredients. At any rate this "nice cream" looks pretty good to me!


Classic Red Thai Curry with Prawns - via Annalena's Heart(h)beat

 Typically, I don't make curry, but when I get the chance to eat it, I always do! I like my curry pretty spicy too! I find that the spice goes really well with the coconut milk typically found in curry recipes!


Morning Maple Cranberry Oat Pecan Bars - via Fork and Spoon Recipes 

 Some mornings, you just have to have a quick breakfast. And let's face it, sometimes that quick and breakfast needs to be something portable. These bars are definitely fit the bill for quick and portable breakfast, and the pack a huge punch of nutrition!

Fried Squash Blossoms Stuffed with Crab and Mascarpone - via Brina's Bites 

 Alright, full disclosure here, these fried squash blossoms instantly reminded of Gilmore Girls. There's no shame there. I'll spare you the details of the scene. After the Gilmore Girls moment had passed, I explored the recipe. First, I love crab. Second, the crab and mascarpone combination is so good! I definitely want to try my hand at making these!
