So we might not actually be grilling in Lambeau (I wish!) but we always put on quite an elaborate spread at home to watch the games. I love making these BBQ Chicken Potato Skins, these are pretty simple to throw together and I promise they will be a touchdown at your next game day gathering! There's basically no bad way to serve potatoes. Smothering those delicious ...

Fresh Picked Strawberry Muffins
It's that time of year where strawberries are filling the tables at farmer's markets and grocery stores. I just had to have some, but had no idea what to use them in. Then my husband lectured me, "You better find something to put them in before they go bad!" So I dove into the family recipe vault, looking for something inspiring when I found this easy-peezy strawberry muffin ...
Personal Pies
For Aliceana's birthday party I knew we needed some kind of festive treat. We were of course going to have cake, so I decided that pie would be a fun addition. Full size pie is too ordinary though. So I created this personal pie recipe. They turned out way cuter than I had imagined! They almost look like tarts, perfect for the Aliceana in One-derland tea party! I love ...
Ritter Schnitzel
AJ and I (like most Wisconsinites) have a whole lot of German ancestry. So it's only natural that our favorite restaurant of all time is a German restaurant. Not just any old German restaurant though, Mader's in Milwaukee. If you're ever in the Milwaukee area you have to got to go to Mader's. They have the best authentic German dishes, and to my relief the whole restaurant ...
Sweet Tooth Croutons
As I was just about to throw away a loaf of really unsatisfying raisin bread, I thought to myself; "How could I make this into croutons?" And my newest guilty pleasure was born. If you've read enough of the recipes I've posted in the past, you know that I'm completely obsessed with making my own croutons. I just love making those savory little bites for salads or as a ...
BBQ Chicken Pizza
AJ and I are obsessed with anything that has barbeque sauce on it, which is tough, since there are zero barbeque restaurants in our area. So we have to make it ourselves. I've always been a fan of barbeque pizza, and I'm not sure why. Every barbeque pizza I've had used really awful quality chicken, and don't get me started on how crappy the barbeque sauce is. I mean I get ...
Tropical Brandy Slush
If you've been reading my posts this week, you know I hosted an awesome party this past weekend. The party was Gears of War themed so the signature drink of the night was a tropical brandy slush (although, during the party it was called imulsion which is an element in the Gears of War games). This is probably my favorite adult beverage. It's just so tasty! I really can't ...
Gears of War party
Remember how I was planning that party in honor of the release of Gears of War: Judgment and one of my best friend's birthdays? Well, we had the party and it was quite the success! From personalized Gears of War lanyards for each guest, to the signature drink (imulsion of course) the party was one we'll never forget! (Can you tell I love party planning? This was a good ...
Savory Brunch Bake
My family has started having brunches a lot the last few years, which means I have to do the majority of cooking since everyone loves this dish! They also love my cinnamon rolls, but I’ll get to those some other day. I can’t even pick a favorite part of this breakfast bake, there are just too many great things about it like; the flaky crescent crust, the garlic and rosemary ...
