Real Food. Real Health. Real Life.
This has been a chili my husband and I have enjoyed for years. It took a couple tries to reach perfection, but once we did, we can’t get enough. I’m not a person who enjoys regular chili. It has to be spicy. Non-negotiable. So, several…
When I want to splurge with dessert, it’s with cheesecake. I love it so much! With these easy cheesecake bars, I can eat cheesecake guilt-free any time I want. Plus, it’s much quicker than making the real thing and you can’t tell the difference. And…
When I’m in need of a super quick meal, shrimp always comes in handy. I can have it cooked in less than 10 minutes and dinner on the table in 15-20 minutes. Plus, with football season in full swing, it’s nice to have something healthy my husband will like that won’t take us away from watching the game. They’re also great during the summer when it’s hot and you don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen cooking.
These shrimp wraps are a play on my Buffalo Chicken Burgers. They’re just quicker and a nice variation. I add the Dairy-Free Ranch since the shrimp are pretty dang spicy and that helps to cut some of the heat. You could easily add some crumbled blue cheese if you’re not dairy-free and kick it up even more.
The crunch from the celery and shredded carrots add a great little crunch to balance the softness from the butter lettuce and shrimp. They are a bit messy because of all the sauce, so if you prefer, make it into a salad. That’s actually my preferred method because I hate being messy.
Give them a try! If you’re a fan on buffalo wings, then you’ll love these.
There are days that we all face that require us to either grab some takeout, or make something quick at home. Typically, those quick dinners tend to be a bit boring because they aren’t well thought-out. I have the perfect solution for those kinds of…
A recipe I think people have a misconception about being difficult or time consuming is chicken pot pie. They are so easy! You get one of the most notoriously comforting fall and winter foods in about 30 minutes. Plus, I actually think they taste better,…
Every year when we go to Apple Hill, we stop at a specific farm for apple cider donuts. They are the best on the whole hill, and the line proves just that. It’s usually a 45-minute wait minimum. It’s ridiculous, but also completely worth it once you get your hands on those warm little cider donuts that make you forget all of your problems.
Now I’m not going to say that these donuts taste like the same ones from Rainbow Orchard, because that would be a flat out lie. Not even close and if I lived anywhere within a 20-mile radius of Rainbow Orchard I would have a real problem on my hands health wise. And also, let’s be real, these are baked and not fried. Although they’re still tasty little guys and when you have an apple cider donut hankering that just won’t quit, but aren’t going to drive all the way to Apple Hill to satisfy that hankering, they do the trick and keep you popping them right in your mouth.
These Apple Cider Donuts have me contemplating whether to purchase a donut hole maker. But then I have to come back down to reality and ask myself just how often I would make donuts. But then I wonder if I would make them more often if only, I had a donut hole maker. I wouldn’t. It’s just as easy to pop them in a mini muffin pan and make them that way. They may not be perfectly round, but they are equally delicious.
