Being creative in the kitchen is so much fun!
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…
Smoked 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!…
Lemon 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!
Happy Halloween!
What’s better at a Halloween Party than homemade quac with blue corn chips, served out of a pumpkin??
Strawberry Shortcake Pop Cake
Who remembers those delicious Strawberry Shortcake ice cream pops? My husband challenged me to make him a giant one for his birthday cake and I can’t believe how good it turned out! I even used a spoon to take a “bite” out of the corner for dramatic effect. Usually, I prefer make my own ice…
Little Prince Baby Shower
A cupcake display I made for a Little Prince themed baby shower. The swirled “galaxy” frosting was a first for me, and I was so pleased with how it worked out! The outer cupcakes are all topped with sugar cookie stars, and there’s a big sugar cookie star on top of the moon.
Mom’s 65th Birthday Party
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!
Strawberry 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 🙂
