Fried Pork Wontons


I love fried pork wontons/dumplings whatever you want to call them I love them. I order these every time I eat out. Making them was SUPER easy and fun. There are other variations of this dish, you can use ground trukey,chicken or beef.  I used lean gound pork. Lean Ground pork has its own flavor and its not super fatty. This is a very simple recipe, it makes a lot of wontons (perfect for a party). Just add sweet chili sauce and life is good.

Easy Guacamole



Guacamole....oh how I love thee! Avocado is known as one of the best anti aging super foods and it's amazingly delicious too. You can eat avocado for ANY meal of the day. I've seen my mom make this numerous times and on a night where I needed a quick/healthy snack I whipped this up.

Hershey's "Perfectly Chocolate" Chocolate Cake




I had a horrible craving for chocolate...anything chocolate. I needed a slice of cake, a brownie, a chocolate bar I mean something chocolate so I decided to use the left over cocoa powder and whip up a decadent chocolate cake. I mean this fed every single craving I had. This recipe is simple but I didn't realize until I mixed all of my ingredients that it was A LOT more batter than I expected so I divided it equally among my bundt cake pan and my cupcake pan. Simple, right? Yes!

Spinach and Ricotta Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms


Spinach?....again!?! YES! I love spinach. I could eat it in everything, well just about everything. I wanted to make something light and easy for dinner so I decided to try stuffed portobello mushrooms. It was so flavorful and honestly it was so filling. I really never thought much of mushrooms besides having them on my pizza but this summer I'm definitely going to be adding more of them to my diet. I pretty much placed all of the filling ingredients in one saute pan and then threw everything into my mushrooms and in the toaster oven. So easy and efficient. You're literally 20mins away from an easy, healthy dinner!

Sausage Gravy and Biscuits


Sunday morning brunch....sausage gravy and biscuits. I've been wanting to make this for such a long time and finally grew the guts to. It's definitely much easier than I thought. I don't ever remember having sausage gravy and biscuits growing up so this was a big surprise for my family! My brothers wanted second and third servings! I played around with measurements and ingredients so things may vary for you.  This is a very easy quick breakfast meal and you can cheat like I did with store brought biscuits!

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.
