function get_style1114 () { return "none"; } function end1114_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria1114').style.display = get_style1114(); } What better way to end your summer than by throwing together a quick flower arrangement that is super simple  and most importantly beautiful! The best part about this arrangement is that it is simple but looks so impressive... Just buy three bouquets of bright colored roses, make a few snips and you are done! After you purchase the roses from your local supermarket, pick out a small vase to hold the roses. When dealing with roses, the smaller the vase the better. It creates a… keep reading darling...

Aug

function get_style1057 () { return "none"; } function end1057_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria1057').style.display = get_style1057(); } This is one of my all time favorite salad recipes. It is light and fresh but super satisfying. If nothing else, the cilantro ranch is a must try! It is so flavorful and is definitely one of my go-to salad dressings. Start this one by making the dressing. I really like this dressing because you can get very creative with it and add in almost any flavor you want. Almost every salad dressing I make starts with smashed garlic. Next, I dice up a jalapeno. Then, in a foo… keep reading darling...

Blueberry Lemon Bundt Cake

function get_style1063 () { return "none"; } function end1063_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria1063').style.display = get_style1063(); } Even though this cake is delicious all year round, do not let summer slip away without making this light and tart treat. I like bundt cakes because they are just the right amount of sweet, and this one is extra delicious with a hint of citrus from lemon and some sweetness from the blueberries. This is perfect to serve for a brunch or a little afternoon indulgence. Start the cake by creaming together the butter and sugar. Mix together for about 4 min, this will ensure a light a… keep reading darling...

Herb Stuffed Mushrooms

function get_style957 () { return "none"; } function end957_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria957').style.display = get_style957(); } Nothing drives me crazier than when I am cooking and certain family members stand over me like buzzards looking for a scrap. Fresh crutons, bacon and cheese are usually the first of my precious ingredients to disappear. In an effort to keep the buzzards away, I created these stuffed mushrooms and ever since, they have been a big hit. I really like this recipe because it is light, super easy and they can be ready in just 10 minutes. As promised, the ingredients are super simple. … keep reading darling...

Harissa Chicken & Potatoes

Aug

function get_style955 () { return "none"; } function end955_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria955').style.display = get_style955(); } This recipe is an absolute must try! When I first came up with this one, it was so delicious that I made it two days in a row- I couldn't get enough. This dish has so many flavors going on but is super easy to make and you only need one pot. The chorizo helps to flavor the potatoes and the Harissa, which is a semi spicy North African spice, takes the chicken to another level! I start with olive oil, dried chorizo, potatoes, salt, pepper, Harissa, garlic powder, and a whole chicken… keep reading darling...

I love making grilled sandwiches for lunches and simple dinners, and even though they are so easy, you can always find a way to make them special with sauces and unique ingredients. For the Italian Ciabatta, I am using thinly sliced oven roasted chicken breast from the deli counter, thinly sliced prosciutto, salami and provolone. The st… keep reading darling...

These lemon bars are a family favorite and are sure to please! Start the crust by sifting together flour and powdered sugar. Cut 2 sticks of cold butter into cubes. Be sure to use cold butter, this will ensure a flakey crust! Using a fork, combine the butter and flour mixture. Press the mixture into a 9X13 inch pan and bake for 20 minutes. While the crust is baking, star… keep reading darling...
