These pretzel dogs are a combination of the two best baseball game treats: soft pretzels and hot dogs. Bring on the mustard! Nothing says "summer" more than hot dogs. My boys could live on them, but they are really only something I crave when it's hot outside and the days are … [Read more...]
Orange Julius Three Ways
Have you ever had an Orange Julius? It's a creamy, smooth, refreshing drink that just screams "summer" to me. It brings to mind trips to the mall and the very rare occasion when we were allowed to get a treat from the food court. I still remember the "grown up" feeling I … [Read more...]

Easy Nutella Pastries
I'm almost embarrassed to call this a recipe, it's so simple! I was inspired by Gimme Some Oven but I didn't have any puff pastry on hand, so I made the "junior" version of these Easy Nutella Pastries instead. A light, buttery crust and that smooth hazelnut spread join together … [Read more...]

Fries Quatro Queso Dos Fritos: Farewell to Psych
We are big fans of the show Psych. I love a crime procedural that can poke fun at itself. Sadly, after eight seasons, the show is ending on March 26th. One of the things the show is known for (besides the random placement of a pineapple in every episode) is FOOD. Jerk … [Read more...]
Southwestern Egg Rolls
