Fried Garlic Cheese Bread
Okay so it sounds weird, but I promise that once you make this toast..you are never going to want anything else...EVER!!! You will think about this toast every single day haha...At least I do!!! So you just need a few basic things..
Sliced Bread
Grated Cheese
Garlic Powder
Butter Spread
Heat your skillet to a med-low heat, I grease the pan with olive oil..so that the fact that I am eating fried cheese bread doesn't seem as bad as it it..Butter one side of the toast with an ample amount of butter spread..sprinkle a little garlic powder on the butter, and take a handful of grated cheese and stick it to the butter...I use quite a bit just so its that much better....Then quickly slap the piece of toast..cheese down into your heated skillet, and let cook for about 7 minutes. Let the cheese get crisp on the bottom...when its a nice golden color and not gooey then its done...and of course its best to eat these while they are hot...You can serve these with a slice of the home made pizza below...Good Luck!!! And questions and comments are always welcome.!!!

HomeStyle Pizza
This pizza is one that my mom taught me how to make when I was 8 years old. I absolutely LOVE it!!! I have changed a few things about it...but only because I find it difficult to follow directions exactly when it comes to recipes. I like to liven things up a bit. So some of the items you will need..(depending on your favorite toppings):
2 boxes jiffy pizza crust
1/2 brick of cheese grated, or two small bags. (Yes I absolutely have to have an obscene amount of cheese on my pizza)
1 can of large pitted olives chopped
1 regular jar ragu or any other spaghetti sauce
Now remember you can add as many or as little toppings to this pizza...its your imagination that makes this a fantastic meal. Preheat oven to 425 degrees, I like to use an oversized cookie sheet with sides, but you can also use 13x9 pan and the crust will be a little thicker. So you bake for 18-25 minutes..(just follow directions on the crust) when its done the crust is a little thick, so I always cut a bit in the middle to make sure its nice and done. And because of all the cheese, this pizza is gooey and delicious when you cut into it....and I serve right out of the oven...If you have any questions or comments please feel free to post...I love feedback!!! And I will follow with an amazing grilled cheese garlic bread that goes perfectly with this pizza.

Feta Croissant Rolls
Okay so this is one of the easiest recipes EVER!!! When making these, I like to use garlic flavored feta cheese crumbles, it gives a fantastic extra BANG of flavor!!! So Basically all you need is 3 pkg. Croissant rolls, 1/4 c. butter melted, 2 containers Garlic Feta Cheese. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease your cookie sheet and roll out your croissant dough peices, brush on a little melted butter on the inside of the croissant, and sprinkle a small fingerful of the garlic feta cheese (about 1TBSP), and roll up. Make sure to pinch the end when the croissant is rolled up, and brush on a little more melted butter. Place about 1 inch apart on cookie sheet, and bake 9-13 mins. I like to go around 9-10 minutes so that they are softer (But not gooey YUCK!!) So that's it, its so simple..and nobody will ever know that you didn't slave for ever over these little darlings. They are best served warm. If you have any questions please let me know...and comments are always welcome of course!!!

2010 Truffles.
Eggnog Truffles 
Chocolate Peanut Butter
Every year for christmas I make homemade truffles, and every year I try to spice up the flavors a bit so that its not the same ole' thing. Well this year I brought back a family favorite which is my Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffle with a graham cracker garnish. I tried 2 new flavors this year and they turned out FANTASTIC!!! Eggnog, which was fairly easy..dipped in white chocolate, and White Chocolate Raspberry Which was truly AMAZING..it was sooooo good, and by far my favorite. If you have any questions let me know!!! Ohh and I would share my truffle recipes, but they are pretty much the only ones you won't see on here. (They are my specialty and its sort of a secret)
Smash Cake
Smash Cake!!!
I made these cute little confections for a sweet little 1 year old. It was very exciting to get to make such a cute cake. I did the zebra stripe design that you see everywhere nowdays. I just added a little more flair to mine than what I have seen. So the process was very simple. All you do is pick out the colors that you want on your cake, and dye the right amount of fondant, make sure when you are kneading your fondant that when you have done it for 10 minutes and you feel like you can't possibly do anymore, do it for another 10 minutes!!! If you don't knead your fondant, when you place it over the cake you will get little tears, or stretches. I have had to learn this too many times, the hard way!!!! Anyway..for the cupcakes, because fondant isn't the most delicous tasting frosting, I filled the vanilla cupcakes with vanilla whipped frosting, just to give it a little sweeter taste. Well I hope you like the pics, if you ever have any questions for me, just drop a comment.
COOKIES!!!
Okay so it has been FOREVER since I have posted anything, it was a crazy 2010 to say the least. So I have been cooking up a storm, and I have decided to post EVERYTHING that I cook. My idol in the cooking department is Paula Deen for many reasons, but I thought it would be fun to post some of her awesome recipes on here after I attempt to cook them of course. So let me tell you a little bit about how I do things in my kitchen. I have a very hard time following recipes, and for the most part, I make up pretty much everything that I make. I love being creative, and these cookies is just one of the many things that I make BETTER than they were intended to be.
The Ultimate Cookie:
The Ultimate Cookie:
3/4 C. Butter
3/4 C. Granulated Sugar
3/4 C. Brown Sugar
2 Large Eggs
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla
2 1/4 C. plus 2 Tbsp. All-Purpose Flour
1 tsp. Baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt
1(12oz)Bag Milk Chocolate Chips
8oz. White Chocolate Chips
1 1/2 C. Coconut.
In electric mixer, beat butter and sugars until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla, beating well until blended. Combine flour, bakind soda, and salt in a small mixing bowl; Gradually add to butter mixture, beating well. Stir in all of your delicious chocolate chips and coconut. Drop by the spoonfuls onto a lightly greased baking sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 8-12 minutes, or until desired doneness. I took mine out at 10 min. The bottom and the edges of the cookie will brown well, but the middle won't overdue, so you have the best of both worlds, all in one cookie. Cool for about 1 minute until taking them off the cookie sheet, so they won't fall apart when serving. And ENJOY!!! Don't think about the calories of this one...Just enjoy some Sweetz every once in a while.
