Bobbi Jo’s Baked Beans
I have been looking over my recipe book and came across my baked beans recipe that I made when I had everyone over for Memorial Day last year. I whipped up a little spread of hamburgers, hotdogs, marinated chicken, bratwurst, baked potatoes, baked beans, and Jalapeños poppers! My sister brought the salad with her famous Italian dressing (gotta get that recipe!). Everyone was on a diet at my house so I didn't have anything sweet but boy did I miss my chocolate cake with butter cream icing...
Homemade Sugar Cookies
Per my last post at www.twoaorablelabs.com on how to help the animal shelters (see here) during the holidays, I wanted to make homemade sugar cookies from a recipe my parents used when my sister and I was growing up. When my sister and I were much younger, my parents would make sugar cookies with us and I always loved when it was time to whip up the icing. I loved the colors, the combination of sweetness, and couldn't wait to have my cookies and milk :-). Speaking of sweet...Thomas offered...
Ooey Gooey Butter Cake
This is a re-post: Easter is this Sunday and I'm sure everyone is either eating out or making something at home and this Ooey Gooey Butter Cake is the perfect dessert to make! Sometimes when we have dinner plans, I still like to have a dessert made for us when we get home. I also like waking up to a breakfast of coffee and dessert :-). This cake is so simply to make so I wanted to pass it along again. I've included more links along with this updated post and the history of Ooey Gooey...
Keto Hamburger Pizza
Thomas and I have been on an "almost Keto diet" for about 2 months now. We are following it but allowing ourselves a cheat day here and there. We LOVE pizza and will probably be ordering some tonight because we have friends coming over for dinner but back to our diet....I created this recipe last week to help with our pizza cravings and it turned out pretty good. So...I thought I'd share with you. If you love hamburgers, sauce, pepperoni, and cheese, you will LOVE this Keto Hamburger...
Visiting California
Ok, so I did not make it to CA this year and I did not take these pictures but I had to share with you because I think they are amazing. Thomas had to make a business trip to San Diego, CA and on one of the off days, he visited the San Diego Zoo. He took our new Nikon 4500 with him and shot these pictures around town and during his visit to the zoo. I think he did an amazing job for being an amateur photographer! Voted #1 Zoo in the world, The San Diego Zoo is a zoo in Balboa Park, San...
Salmon Worcestershire
I first have to say that I'm so proud of myself!!! Why???? Because tonight, for the first time ever, I made salmon and all by myself to boot! I'm not a lover of salmon but Thomas is and I wanted to make us a healthy dinner. So off to the store I went in search of his favorite fish. And...the only thing left were these 3 little pieces so I told the lady to wrap em' up! I asked...do you want just olive oil with salt and pepper or do you want a glaze on these little buggers. I crossed my...
Three Cheese Ravioli
Thomas and I make homemade pasta every year for the holidays so I took a stab at making my own filling this year for our homemade ravioli. I was a bit nervous because I have some pretty tough critics when it comes to taste testing but I past the test. Thomas whipped up some delicious dough and my filing was tasty without being mushy. With three different cheeses, I wasn't sure about the consistency once the ravioli's were cooked. This dough and filling recipe made 70 raviolis. Note: We...
How to stain your front door.
I finally got around to staining our front door. Between all the rain this summer and me procrastinating in getting the door done, it was starting to look pretty bad! We have a solid wood door that takes direct weather all year around so I got out the steel wool and paint supplies and went to work. I like to paint and I love to stain but what was fun was to have Jake and Maggie right there with me through the entire process. The door was open so they could watch the neighborhood and I...
Blueberry, Blackberry, Veggie Freezies
It's been awhile since I posted a dog treat recipe. I know I promised you more of those so here is a Blueberry, Blackberry, Veggie Freezie recipe that I found on-line and modified to what I thought Jake and Maggie would like. I also apologize for missing a post today. I had one ready to go and then decided not to send it because...well...it was terrible. LOL! It's one of those things that in your mind, it all sounds great and when you put it on paper, it DOES NOT sound good and I won't...
Blog Roundup
Hi everyone!! I wanted to do a round up of my most popular posts. Since starting Two Adorable Labs, I have learned so much about blogging, creating and building a website and have met some wonderful people along the way.
