Tres Leches Cake

I don't speak much Spanish but I know that Tres Leches translates to three milks...that being said this cake is made with....three different milk products. This cake is very popular in parts of Latin America and in many Hispanic households. There's many different variations of the cake using the same cake but soaking it in different liquids like alcohol or caramel. Today I did the traditional tres leches cake. I've never tasted it or made it so the only I could on was what my coworkers told me about it. Tres Leches is considered a "wet" cake kinda like tiramisu, and I love tiramisu so I figured it's worth a try.

Panko Crusted Mozzarella Sticks

Farm Rich or any other frozen cheese sticks ain't got nothing on these! I LOVE mozzarella sticks. Anytime I'm out at a restaurant I order these as an appetizer. Ain't nothing like ooey gooey cheese sticks with warm marinara sauce to dunk them in. These seriously didn't last more than 5 minutes in my house....we were watching basketball so this was the perfect finger food to nom on!

Stuffed Strawberries

Stuffed Strawberries......oh la la. The combination of the creamy cream cheese filling and the texture of the pecans give the strawberries such flavor and balance. I love strawberries and pecans and I really feel like this could be a healthy snack...granted you don't eat them all like I did. Hehehe!
I highly suggest trying to get strawberries from a farmers market or get them in season as they are much sweeter than the "watered down" ones from the grocery store.

Sour Cream Pound Cake

Say it ain't so! I actually baked a pound cake. If someone would've said years ago I'd crave pound cake,much less sour cream pound cake, I'd punch them in the face. For years growing up I hated the thought of pound cake. To me it wasn't real "cake" but about 2 years ago my mom changed my mind. My mom made a sour cream pound cake and it was so moist,dense and tasty. It seriously made me re-evaluate how I felt about pound cake. All in all now I'm in love with this sour cream pound cake! Thanks mom!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

I've said it before I love chocolate! I don't eat much cakes, believe it or not I don't even buy or make myself a

birthday cake! But this here is different. Years ago I brought a heart shaped silicone baking pan from a Valentine's clearance sale and I had the ingredients for chocolate chip cookies sitting around so I decided to throw EVERYTHING in the pan like a big cookie! My older brother loved it and paid me to bake him another one. I actually made this for my boyfriend this year for Valentine's day and I was so excited to get it to him I forgot to take pictures. Ooooh well.....only reason to make another one right!

Easy Turkey Meatballs + Bonus Turkey Meatball Subs PIC HEAVY

Ooooh how I missed the kitchen. This past week has been filled with restaurant and fast food eating and I missed being in the kitchen and tasting "real" home cooking! Last month I received my Fitness magazine in the mail and there was a recipe for whole wheat spaghetti and turkey meatballs....and I'd been drooling over this ever since then. I LOVE meatballs but never had the guts to make them after seeing this recipe I knew this was going to be easy.

Triple Chocolate Brownies

Oooh my!! Triple chocolate brownies.....honestly I don't know what I was thinking when I made these. It was a moment of weakness for me. It all started with a recipe for double chocolate brownies and I just went crazy. Brownies are always a big deal in my house, so this was something everyone was waiting for me to bake.I've tried A LOT of boxed brownies in the past and it's just not the same....everything food is so much better made from scratch!!
