Birthday Brownies
This year birthdays have been tough to celebrate. Our family decided to hold one dinner to celebrate all six birthdays in our little clan. I was to bring these marinated veggies I’ve become famous for in our family, dinner rolls, and the dessert. And in true Katie fashion, I decided to make five different types…
Read MoreSmoked Maple Pork Flatbread
I am in love with Sugar Bob’s Finest Kind’s Smoked Maple Syrup! It adds a slight sweetness and a wonderful smokiness and depth to just about anything. Using a slightly modified flatbread recipe from the Ninja cookbook and using a favorite pizza topping combo from a local pizza shop as inspiration, this recipe was born!…
Read MoreLemon Blueberry Pie Ice Cream
For Father’s Day, I asked my dad what his favorite dessert was. He said anything with lemon and blueberry in it, so I came up with lemon blueberry ice cream “pie”! Homemade lemon blueberry ice cream, topped with (store bought dough) pie crust cages and homemade whipped cream. Served in champagne glasses for extra fancyness!

Hunk a-hunk of burnin’ pumpkin! Cheesecake Sandcastle For my mom’s 65th birthday party, we threw Mom an Elvis Presley Beach Bash, complete with surfing Elvis cardboard cutout! But since her birthday is in late September it had a bit of an autumn slant. The homemade cheesecake sandcastle wasn’t an easy task!
Read MoreStrawberry Appetizer
This isn’t super exciting, but incredibly tasty. It’s just a sliced baguette with butter, a little garlic powder, Asiago cheese, that’s been broiled until brown and then topped with a fresh sliced strawberry. It’s not the most makery thing I’ve ever made, but too good not to share 🙂
Read MoreMidnight Dinner
If you haven’t read The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern then I HIGHLY recommend it! It’s a fantastic novel that I have completely fallen in love with. My friend Ara introduced me to the book and our other friend Jamee suggested that we throw Ara a surprise Night Circus themed midnight dinner party, just like…
