Strawberry Coffee Cake

I think breakfast is probably my most favorite meal of the day. I am a total carb girl though. I DO NOT like eggs and breakfast meat. Bleck! But, I do love bread. Any kind of bread. Pancakes, muffins, waffles and.... coffee cake - yum! I also LOVE strawberries, so when I saw this strawberry coffee cake it just seemed perfect: and it pretty much was! Of course I modified it to suite my desires, but you know, that's just what I do.

White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake

I love cheesecake and have had this recipe in my book for a while now waiting for me to try it out. It's a bit labor intensive, but so worth it if you have the time! Delicious and absolutely beautiful. A great centerpiece to any nice dinner you want to prepare.

Broccoli Salad

Always looking for ways to add more veggies into my diet, and trying to appease the rest of the carnivores in my house, I gave this recipe a try. It was really good. Of course, modification was necessary, but all worked out great.

Chicken Focaccia Sandwich

I love flat bread and focaccia bread.... okay, let's face it, I just love bread! Throw some yummy veggies on it to make a good sandwich and I'm in heaven. This is a pretty easy twist on the same ol' boring sandwich.

Cake Batter Ice Cream

Cake batter ice cream is one of Jessi's favorite flavors of ice cream. We wanted to make ice cream for her Graduation party, so I went sleuthing for a good recipe: this one was a huge hit. I have made this twice now and it was great both times. 

Italian Chicken

I had kind of forgotten about this little recipe until I picked an old magazine to go through - it's getting so old and used that the pages are falling out, so I thought I better get to the recipes in there first. It is super easy and very yummy. I did it this time over rice, but I have also done it over Fettuccine Alfredo with great results too.

Chicken With Mustard Sauce

For not being a huge meat eater, I actually liked this dish quite a bit. It was super easy and quick to make and paired very well with a simple spinach salad. The next day it made a great sandwich too, with the leftover pieces.... I think I need pretty plates though, if I'm gonna be taking pictures of my food ;o)
