These little tarts have been all the rage on Pinterest lately. I ignored them for awhile, because sometimes small things are more time consuming to make than the regular size. However, I had a Young Living Girls Night Out last week, and knew these would be perfect!
Now, I also know the rage is all homemade, no mixes, no preservatives, right?

Everyday, I'm receiving alerts on Facebook of new followers to my Double Dipped Sweets page. You are coming over from Pinterest, and I have to say, THANK YOU!
As a thank you gift, I finally made this cake that I've had my eye on for awhile. This cake is labor intensive. But, oh, my goodness, it's so full of flavor! It's a rich, dense cake; a mix between cake and bread.

It basically tasted like Stove Top stuffing inside pork. Blah. So, when I pulled some large pork chops out of the freezer last week, I decided to stuff them with my imagination! And, of course, I had to coat them with Panko goodness to make them nice and crispy!

Hello! I'm back for a quick post. The last few months have brought a lot of food changes to our home. With PTA meetings, cub scouts, girl scouts, friends, etc, it's getting harder to be home for meal prep. Plus, I'm not experimenting as much, so we're making old favorites over and over again.
A few years ago, I did a workshop for the ladies in my church on meal planning.

Ahhh... home cooked meals. Traditional goodness passed down from generation to generation. This was the spaghetti sauce I ate growing up. It's thick and chunky, and full of amazing flavor. After trying this, you'll never go back to canned sauce again!
You'll notice that the recipe allows for a few hours of simmering time. This is to get the best taste out of the herbs.

Yes, I know. I quit. But... the very next day I made this dish. And oh, how delightful.

All of my life, I have always switched passions frequently. My passions and interests come and go due to different circumstances, or maybe I'm just fickle. Who knows! What I do know is that it makes for some interesting learning experiences!

Good Morning! You may have noticed that I skipped the Secret Recipe Club last month. With our house closing 2 weeks early, it was just impossible to get in the kitchen. So, this is my first official post as a GROUP B member! I say goodbye and thanks to Group D. They were a great group, but I wanted to try some new blogs. So, when the option came up to change, I switched to B.

kids to play in.

So, I think you all realize how much I love coconut. So, now it's time to move to my other favorite in life; Cilantro. Cilantro is one of those love it or hate it foods. If you love it though, this chicken salad is a must-try. It's full of flavor, low on mayo, and goes together really quickly.

So, by now you know that we are avid coconut lovers. Any recipe with the word coconut in it immediately gets my attention. Just for fun, I searched my blog for coconut and came up with 27 recipes that include this wonderful ingredient! Wow!

Coconut Custard Pie. There is nothing quite like it in the entire world. It's Amazing. With a capital A.
It takes 5 minutes to prep. One bowl. It forms it's own magic crust. It's Coconut. Coconut people. Coconut.
Creamy, gooey, divine coconut. It's like coconut tapioca, but in pie form. And so much better than tapioca, because it doesn't have that really gross texture.
