Black Cake With Orange Cream Cheese Icing
Happy Monday everyone! And Happy Halloween! Halloween is my favorite holiday and I always celebrate it by curbing my sweet tooth and creating something sweet to eat. If my aunts are reading this, they might be laughing because my whole family can relate. We all have that sweet tooth! This year I made this white box cake with homemade Orange Cream Cheese Icing. This cake is so fun to make...
Chocolate Pumpkin Cookies
Happy Wednesday everyone! Can you believe it’s almost Halloween! I thought these Chocolate Pumpkin Cookies would be perfect for this time of year. The base is a chocolate cookie that has been given a boost of black gel food coloring which makes these cookies look jet black and goes perfectly with the colors of Halloween. I sprinkled green sugary crystals and chocolate bits over them right out...
Eggo Diablo
Happy Wednesday everyone! I don’t normally post that many breakfast recipes but this Eggo Diablo is definitely husband approved. Mr. TAL loved it so much that I put it in my Sit, Stay, Eat 2 Cookbook (available for Digital download via my store) and I want to share it on the blog. A portion from each sale of my cookbooks go to Joey’s P.A.W. to help animals in need of wheelchairs and...
Broiled Lobster
Happy Monday everyone! This broiled recipe is not only fast, easy to make, it is delicious. For my birthday, Mr. TAL surprised me with flowers and a surf and turf dinner! But the big surprise was that he was cooking and all I had to do was watch :-). But…if you know me, you know this was very hard for me to do so I jumped up and made the garlic butter sauce and he did the rest. These broiled...

Smothered Chicken

Blackberry Delight
Happy Monday everyone!! I wanted to kick off the week with this delicious, buttery, sweet Blackberry Delight stuffed with fresh blackberries and baked until the phyllo dough turned golden brown with a light crisp in each bite! I sent Thomas to the store for me to get fruit asking specifically for blackberries and boy did he deliver! I got several containers (more than what I needed) and...
Pineapple Veggie Chicken Kabobs
Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Today on the blog is my Chicken Kabobs and boy are they delicious! I’ve made them two times already and each time they get better. I love that they are so healthy and easy to make. We put them on the grill over medium heat until the chicken was tender and the vegetables were crispy on the edges. Serve them up with a side salad,...
Monster Bars
Happy Memorial Day everyone! We hope you all have an amazing day planned. I’m sending out a quick recipe just incase you are wondering what to make for dessert. These Monster Bars are absolutely decadent with a crunchy top and a gooey inside packed full of peanut butter (no sugar added) and Nestle’s milk chocolate morsels. I added oats and flaxseed for texture and baked them at 350 degrees...

So what did Mr. TAL and I do to reward ourselves? I baked us a cherry pie!! Cherries coated with sugar, vanilla...
