Fresh Cashew Chicken Stir Fry

I love the mildly spicy flavor of this stir fry, as well as the combination of fresh vegetables.  It is a great alternative to your regular teriyaki sauce.

Pretzel Turtle Delights

We went to an 80's themed trivia night last weekend.  It was amazingly fun! As a table we opted for appetizers and desserts instead of a group dinner, so I whipped out a bunch of these chocolatey-caramely babies.  The combination of sweet and salty is perfect.

Spicy Italian Sausage Spaghetti

I made this for dinner last week, and it was wonderful! I was happily surprised to find that it made enough food for us to enjoy left overs the next few days.  I love left over pasta! Don't you?

Mini Pigs in a Blanket

This is one of my husband's favorite appetizers.  I like to make my own Buffalo Ranch dipping sauce, but they also go great with ketchup and mustard.  All it takes is a package of little smokies and 2-3 containers of crescent rolls.

Almond Poppy-Seed Bread

This is what my girls lovingly refer to as "treat bread".  Not only does it taste delicious, it fills the house with a wonderful aroma while it's baking.

Decadent Chocolate Mousse Eggs

I had seen this idea a few years ago online.  I'm sorry to say I can't remember where, although I'd love to give credit where it's due.  I made these for our family night treat this week in honor of Easter.  They were fantastic!  The outside is a milk chocolate shell, and inside is a layer of chocolate mousse, topped with some fluffy whipped cream.

Chicken Cordon Bleu with Parmesan-Dijon Sauce

This Chicken Cordon Bleu recipe is one of my new favorite dinners! I know DH agrees.  While I normally am not a fan of Chicken Cordon Bleu, this recipe uses an italian cheese mix rather than swiss.  It makes all the difference! And I love how easy it is to make.  You can do it with or without the sauce, but it tops the chicken off nicely.
