Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

Using gluten free lasagna noodles, cooked as directed, I layered noodles, sauce, broccoli, then noodles, sauce, chicken, and then noodles, sauce, broccoli and chicken. Topping it off with the last of the noodles, some sauce, and then cheese. I cooked it at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes, covered, then took off lid for 5 minutes to melt the cheese.

It was delish!

Homemade ice cream sandwichs with a crunch!

Homemade ice cream sandwichs...


I melted semi-sweet chocolate chips and peppermint chips together for 30 seconds. stirred til melted then spread on a rice thin cracker. After covering both sides, I placed them all in the freezer for a few mins to harden the chocolate.

I then added a little scoop of vanilla ice cream between two chocolate covered crackers. A little bit messy, but oh so scrumptious!  :)

A yummy way to start the day...

What a delicious way to start out the day...These waffles are convenient and toast nicely. I add chopped bananas, honey, and a sprinkle of cinnamon to mine. Mmm, good.

Fabulous Mulberry Jam!


This is my new favorite jam! It's a mulberry jam from mulberries off our own bushes in our yard! SO yummy! I used this site as the basic recipe http://noelbarnhurst.com/blog/jammin/ but I only did 1/2 cup of sugar instead of 3/4 cup and I just used vanilla extract instead of a vanilla bean. I think next time I make it I will use even less sugar since mulberries are already SO sweet. It was delicious and if you ever get a chance you should definitely make it. Mmm, yummy. :)

Popcorn and Candy Arrangement

I made this awesome popcorn ball and candy arrangement for my dad's birthday present. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

I  used this site http://www.marthastewart.com/339167/popcorn-balls for the recipe for the orange balls and I added circus peanuts to the marshmallows for more flavor and because my dad loves them. :) The white ones I made my own recipe with light corn syrup, sugar, and white cheddar flavor mix that came with the pack of popcorn I bought. It was different but good. It was almost like kettle corn with the sweet and salty taste but it had a little more of a cheesy edge to it. Then I used circus peanuts and 3 musketeers, two of my dad's favorites, as added decoration and yumminess.
At the base I used the green leafy lettuce shoved in over a styrofoam piece in the vase. I was very pleased with the turn out of it and may have a new business on my hands. :)

Strawberry Chocolate Banana Sundae

 For awhile I was on a sundae kick where I was just put together all these different combos and this is one of them. I had a broken gluten free ice cream cone so I broke that up and put it on the bottom of the bowl. Then I sliced a banana long ways and placed that on the cone. I put a few scoops of vanilla ice cream on top of that. I poured some strawberry syrup stuff that I made from heating frozen strawberries and a little sugar on the stove til sugar was dissolved. Then I put a little dollop of whip cream and broke up some chocolate bark that I had. It was a fun new twist on my usual sundaes and it was scrumptious. :)

Chicken Avacado Quesadilla

I saw this add for chicken quesadillas and I was like "yum!" So I made this scrumptious thing up!
I used gluten-free flour tortillas, cooked chicken chunks, chunks of avocado, and a lot of cheese. Mmm...it was good. You should try it. :)
