My favorite time of year for this cheesecake is summer! The brightness of the color and the rich creamy flavor are two of the reasons but my number one reason is the size.

BACON WRAPPED JALAPEÑO PEPPERS STUFFED WITH CREAM CHEESE

Image
BACON WRAPPED JALAPEÑO PEPPERS STUFFED WITH CREAM CHEESE You’ll love these bacon wrapped jalapeño peppers stuffed with cream cheese and shredded cheddar. Similar to jalapeño poppers except that these are low-carb, keto, and baked in the oven. You will only need five ingredients to make this easy and fun party appetizer. I’ve been making these bacon wrapped jalapeño peppers for the past few years and they are always a winner. I first became obsessed with jalapeño popper type appetizers during a Caribbean trip: I was staying at a resort where they made amazing fried jalapeño poppers, which were leagues better than anything else they had on the menu. I ended up ordering them literally every single day that I stayed at that resort. After I returned home, I starting making this bacon wrapped version so that I could have an easy way of making them at home without breading and frying. I love making these bacon wrapped jalapeño peppers when my outdoor pepper garden is thriving. Last year, I ha...

Blueberry Muffins With Streusel Crumb Topping

Image
Blueberry Muffins With Streusel Crumb Topping This blueberry muffins recipe will soon become your favorite breakfast recipe keeper! It is perfect if you searching for delicious,refreshing and easy breakfast idea!! Unbelievable! I looked at all my posts again from my first blogging days and saw a very surprising fact for me. Among the 45 recipes that I posted until now, there is no recipe for muffins! “OMG, is that impossible” I thought to myself! Until a year ago, you could not imagine my kitchen without the smell of muffins. Since my cupcakes mania began with the blog Cupcakes Garden, every time when I got something out my cupcakes pan, the result was always cupcakes, not muffins! “Hmm, maybe I could try chocolate frosting” I thought to myself one time. Another time it would be a variation with strawberries and white frosting and so on and so on. Little by little my (at one time adored) muffins became the past. “It’s not fair” I thought to myself a few days ago and decided to make an ...

CHEESE AND GARLIC CRACK BREAD (PULL APART BREAD)

Image
CHEESE AND GARLIC CRACK BREAD (PULL APART BREAD) This Cheese and Garlic Crack Bread is EPIC! “Crack bread” is an appropriate name for this because it’s garlic bread – on crack! It’s basically a cheesy garlic bread, but so much more delicious!! Cheese, garlic and bread – you can’t go wrong. This is a great cost effective FUN centrepiece for your next gathering! “You will never be able to look at garlic bread the same again….” If you haven’t tried this Cheese and Garlic Crack Bread before, let me warn you now: garlic bread will never be the same again. It’s like a pull apart bread, but tastes like garlic bread plus you have the mozzarella cheese which stretches wonderfully as you pull bits off. PULL APART GARLIC PIZZA BREAD – PIZZA VERSION OF CRACK BREAD! This is INSANELY delicious. I especially love the way the bread is cut into diamond shapes so you can tear bite size pieces off. Every piece is garlicky and buttery and oh-so-cheesy……. “Kids go NUTS over this….and grown ups turn INTO ki...

SHRIMP IN ROASTED PEPPER SAUCE

Image
SHRIMP IN ROASTED PEPPER SAUCE This Shrimp in Roasted Pepper Sauce is lip-smacking good! Roasted bell pepper paired with cream and Parmesan cheese create a unique and delicious sauce.  This recipe is my #1 favorite way to eat shrimp. All of the ingredients pair perfectly together, and the sauce is so rich and flavorful. This Shrimp with Roasted Pepper Sauce could be enjoyed with pasta, over rice, or just as is. Dip a slice of fresh and crunchy bread in the sauce and reach nirvana! 🙂 WHAT KIND OF SHRIMP TO USE Raw, medium-sized, tail on, deveined shrimp would be the best fit for this recipe. I like to have the tails on because during cooking the shells add extra flavor to the dish. If you prefer, you can use fully peeled shrimp instead. ROASTED PEPPERS You’ll need roasted peppers to make the sauce. You can use store bought or homemade roasted peppers. Most of the time, I just buy them from the store. You can find roasted peppers in many large supermarkets. They are usually found in...

Deep Fried Cookie Dough

Image
Deep Fried Cookie Dough Deep Fried Cookie Dough is a mouthwatering dessert that’s crispy on the outside, but soft and melty on the inside, with intense cookie dough flavors. One of the best treats you’ll ever eat! It’s battered cookie dough bites fried to a fluffy, golden perfection for a sweet treat that melts in your mouth. This recipe is inspired by the Texas State Fair, where is has appeared several years according to reports. But the question remains on how to make it at home, since we wouldn’t want to limit our intake to once per year! This dessert is so yummy for Cheat Days, midnight snacks, spring break. Heck, we’ve even made it on Mother’s Day. See when you pull apart these balls, they are full of melty chocolately goodness that nobody can resist! We like to serve them warm on a platter stacked in two layers. You can also give them a dusting of powdered sugar and drizzle with chocolate sauce. This is one of the easier deep fried recipes out there. Simply start with your favori...

Blueberry Lemon Pie Bars

Image
Blueberry Lemon Pie Bars I have been loving the whole “pie in bar form” this summer. It really just does make sharing much easier! Not to say I won’t be venturing into the pie-in-a-pie-dish soon (especially so I can cross a couple things off of my list), but for parties with lots of people enjoying dessert: pie bars are the way to go! I originally whipped up this recipe for the party that I took my fluffernutter barsand key lime pie bars to, but I wasn’t completely sold on them. Don’t get me wrong, they were delicious, but they were a bit too sweet for my liking, and I thought they needed some sort of topping– not quite a streusel but not a crust either. That’s why I have taste-testers, people (and I’m always looking for new tastebuds)! This bar starts with a shortbread crust. One of my absolutely favorite food bloggers put out a cookbook in March and this crust is featured on her lemon bars. As I was perusing her cookbook one day, I made sure to mark the page, because the crust sounde...
