• Sausage Balls

    Christmas is FAST approaching and Holiday party season is in full swing and that means one thing in my house… Sausage Balls!  They are quick, easy and SOOOOO GOOD and the perfect party bite! Roll ‘Em Up Every Christmas season my brother calls and asks me then I am making sausage balls.  Growing up my mom made them every year.  In my mind the recipe must be something super special and hard because we only got them during the holidays.  Well, little did I know… they are SUPER EASY! With just a few ingredients, you probably already have on hand, you can make these tasty treats in no time. The…

  • It is Party Time

    I cannot believe it but my nieces 2nd birthday is coming up here in the next month.  It honestly seems like yesterday that the little princess came into the world.  I cannot believe it has been 2 years! I am obsessed She found that crown in my purse, yes I had a crown in my purse.  She pulled it out & immediately put it on and started walking around like a model.  All I could do was laugh… I just don’t know where she comes up with some of the stuff she does. If you were to look at the pics on my phone it is all about her, her…

  • Summer is not over…yet

    I know, I know summer is coming to an end.  If you go to any store you are already seeing fall and pumpkins starting to invade all the aisles.  (Although I kinda love everything pumpkin so I am ok with that part).  But in my part of the world it is still in the 90’s, feeling like to 100’s, and I am still craving light but super flavorful dishes.  This Jalapeño Lime Sauce is all that and SO MUCH MORE! Just a little heat (unless you want more) I know Jalapeño is in the name, but don’t worry it is not super spicy.   The trick to this sauce is…

  • skinny but oh so blue cheese dip

    Do you love dip?  I LOVE DIP!  Every party I have, whether big or small, there is always a dip of some sort.  Sometimes I will have the traditional ranch dip (or this amped up version), sometimes a dill pickle dip and sometimes something sweet to go with fruit.   Skinny and so GOOD This year for the Big Game I am going to be making A Skinny Blue Cheese dip.  This dip will not only be delicious with veggies and chips but it will also pair GREAT with these Skinny Buffalo Tenders.   So what makes it skinny, you ask?  Well, to start with I use nonfat greek yogurt mixed with reduced…

  • your FAVORITE enchilada at home (trust me)

    Yesterday I shared with you my favorite Slow Cooker Mexican Shredded Beef.  Today it is all about using that shredded beef to make AMAZING Shredded Beef Enchiladas. Trust me you will not need to go to your favorite Mexican restaurant after you have these enchiladas…at least I don’t have too. Beef and Bean is the BEST (according to The Hubby) Anytime we go to our local Mexican restaurant The Hubby will get a beef & bean burrito and I will usually get enchiladas.  Sometimes I will get cheese enchiladas and sometimes I will get beef enchiladas, but my favorite is a shredded beef version. There is only one place close…
