Let’s Get Easter-ish!

April 3, 2012 in roundup

I bought a carpet cleaner this past weekend. You guys know I have 3 boys, a nutso cockapoo, and a messy husband so this was definitely something that needed to happen. I tell you this because that’s the reason I don’t have a new recipe for you today.

I am obsessed with the carpet cleaner. Every carpet in our house has been cleaned. Twice. I’m WISHING the dog would go roll around in some mud so I have an excuse to pull it back out. I have done nothing but clean, empty the nasty tank, clean, empty… you get it.

But I do have a post full of Easter-ish posts from the past! Lots of good ones that have gotten buried over the years – enjoy!

Coconut Cupcakes! You could use any cupcake & frosting recipe – the toasted coconut nest with little eggs on top is perfect for an Easter celebration.

These Sticky Lemon Rolls with Lemon Cream Cheese Glaze are ridiculous. They’re great for spring since the lemon really lightens up what is typically a very heavy breakfast treat.

Same with these Lime and Cardamom Sweet Rolls. The cardamom reminds you of cinnamon rolls but the lime really cuts through the richness. These are one of my favorites!

Pasca is a traditional Romanian Easter cake but it’s actually a yeast bread that’s stuffed with a sweetened cream cheese mixture. It’s like a giant cream cheese danish.

What’s more perfect for Easter than Carrot Cake Pancakes?!

Broccoli Salad is one of my favorite foods everrrrr. I start craving it about this time every year. It’s great for taking to Easter get togethers.

Superbowl Snacks

January 29, 2012 in appetizer, roundup

I have to admit that I’m not really into the Superbowl this year. My teams are out (although I have to say that one of my teams was never really in. Ahem…) so the game will most likely just be background noise for me.

But I’m always looking for excuses to make fun snacks! Here’s a round-up of some of my favs!

Spicy Pecan Cheeseball

7 Layer Dip

Jalapeno Popper Dip

Pretzel Dogs

Spicy Sausage and Bean Nachos

Avocado Feta Salsa
