pumpkin pie almonds: TWO THUMBS UP!! these little treats are tasty & healthy and super easy to make. i've already made a second batch...sidenote: wait until they are completely cooled before tasting & these make your house smell ahhh-mazing.
soft baked peanut butter cookies: TWO THUMBS UP!! these are hands down, THE best peanut butter cookies i've made and very easy.

chipotle chicken salad: TWO THUMBS UP! we had some friends over before the sunset high school football game and i made this as the main dish. i did the chicken a little different and did not use the chipotle chile and left the cilantro on the side. i just added more lime juice for the dressing and it was deeee-lish!
butter cake: this one had mixed reviews. for me, it was too sweet but if you topped it with seasonal berries the tartness balanced out the sweetness. i made this for our "southern" themed going away party...very easy to make and would recommend using less confectioner's sugar than the recipe called for.
sweet corn & quinoa with honey lemon vinaigrette: one thumb up! i personally enjoyed this dish while my husband did not. he didn't mind it but was enthused for me to make it again...i still have yet to find a recipe for quinoa that the whole family enjoys.
peanut butter breakfast pudding: TWO THUMBS UP!! this recipe is so yummy...but you have to love peanut butter. i only allow myself this breakfast once in a blue moon because it tastes so rich and it's very filling!
nutella crescent rolls: TWO THUMBS UP!! these could be the easiest by far. i didn't technically mean to make these but once in a while for my toddler, i'll make him cheese crescent roll sandwiches. with the two leftover, i usually will spread on orange marmalade like we do for the holidays but i remembered we had nutella in the pantry so i spread some on and oh boy - it was a winner!
asparagus, goat cheese & lemon pasta: eh...so so. i don't think i'd make this again...the flavors just weren't the right amount even though i followed it...and i love all of the above but just not for this dish.
