I'm Baaaaaaack!

Hello again! Remember me? My apologies for the lack in posts. We have been quite busy toward the end of summer with finishing our bathroom, going on mini-vacations, and work that I have not had much time to devote to our meals. EEK! Look at what has happened to me over the past month!

Just kidding! I really have just been sitting at the slots in Vegas.

Buuut hopefully I will start getting back to the blog on a regular basis.

A few dishes I have made in the past month and stand out in my mind that are worth blogging about are Pioneer Woman's Chicken Spaghetti. DELISH! I don't have pictures but trust me, this is definitely worth a try. It feeds a bunch but freezes very well which is what we do.

Two Sundays ago, we hosted a Sunday Night Football party. All of our friends that came over pitched in which was awesome! I made Turkey Pesto Sliders that I found on Annie's Eats blog and Pioneer Woman's Mini-Meatball Sandwiches, which I have posted before. The turkey pesto sliders are now an all-time favorite and SO easy! I even made them later in the week for some friends at work. For dessert, I figured we needed something with chocolate but also a fruity dessert so I made a grape dessert that my good friend Allison had at her bachelorette party! Her sister Sally made it and was totally worth blogging about because I thought, "man I can't wait to eat this again!" :) Here is the recipe courtesy of Sally and Allison Burns (and probably their mom too!)
1/2 bag Heath toffee bits (without chocolate)
1/2 c brown sugar
2 1/2 lbs. grapes
8 oz. cream cheese softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 t. vanilla

Blend cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla with blender.
Stir in grapes.
Spread in 9" X 13" dish.
Sprinkle with 1/2 bag toffee bits and 1/2 cup brown sugar.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Grocery shopping was a no-go this week so I won't have any new meals until next week. Talk to you soon! I promise it won't be over a month this time :(
