These are all natural, gluten free, sugar free, dairy free bars of awesomeness!  They are my substitute for brownies.   Did I mention they are easy to make?  There are only 6 ingredients or 5 if you don't like coconut! 3 cups of whole almonds (if you get the 25 oz. package, as shown, you can use 1/2 of the package) 1 cup unsweetened coconut (if you don't like coconut, don't add it) 4 tablespoons cocoa 1/3 cup peanut butter (you could also use almond...

We all know it's not a rotisserie chicken if it's not cooked on a rotisserie.  After you make this chicken you won't care if it was on a stick or in a pot.  All you'll care about is how to get more of it!  Did I mention it's simple too? 1 Whole Chicken 3 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon thyme 1 teaspoon oregano 1 onion Stir all the seasonings together in a big bowl. Check the inside of your chicken for a bag...

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Chili’s Grill & Bar for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. You must be 21 years or older to drink alcoholic beverages and as always, please remember to drink responsibly.

It's a great place to visit if you're looking for something new or a different version of something old! I added my link for Angela's Baked Beans. It's a great dish for this time of year and the perfect dish to take to a potlu...

This post brought to you by Sunkist S’alternative. All opinions are 100% mine. Sunkist wants to know, do you really know as much as you think you do about how much salt is in your food? I took the Sunkist Sodium Quiz and I didn't do too bad. I guess I know more than I thought I did about salt in my food! So now it's your turn. The quiz is just a few questions about your choice of food based on different situations. It only...

For probably about two years now, my husband has been begging me to make him a Monte Cristo. The main reason it took me so long to make one was because I had no clue what it was. He tried to explain it to me and I guess I could have looked it up, but I just never got around to it. That was until I started working at the coffee shop and needed to come up with new sandwich ideas. So, I decided it was a good time to figure out what this Monte Cristo sandwich was all about....

I know it's been almost a month since I've posted anything. Trust me, I've been having withdrawls! We had a little incident with my blogging machine (our laptop) and well, it's out of commission now so it's a little more difficult to post. No worries though! Hubby is feeling the pain. He's been eating grilled turkey sandwiches and nothing much more exciting than that. So today he told me it won't be long before we replace the laptop and in exchange I'll make an...

The other day I was trying to decide what to make for supper and in the back of my mind I kept hearing Jackie from Syrup and Biscuits say "use what you got."  So I started looking around in the pantry and the fridge and saw I had some taco seasoned ground turkey, enchilada sauce and cheese, but no tortillas. Then I remembered my mother-in-law telling me about a tamale pie she had made from the recipe on the side of a cornmeal bag. Well, I then remembered I...

Angela is my sister-in-law. When my husband and I got married, his brother was deployed in Iraq and his family lived in New Jersey. They recently moved back here to Arkansas, so I'm still getting to know her. My mother-in-law emailed me the recipe for Angela's baked beans and let me tell ya, she's got it going on! This recipe is so easy, yet so dang good! Here's what you need to make her awesome baked beans: 1 pound Ground Beef1 tablespoon Butter1/2 teaspoon Minced...

The other day Valerie with Simple Fare, Fairly Simple posted the recipe for this cake. I remembered someone telling me about their grandma making a cake similar to this where you pour the condensed milk over the cake and frost it, but I never knew what kind of cake they were talking about. So when I saw this one I thought, this must be it! It sounds so good I've got to make it. I had all the ingredients on hand except for the evaporated milk and baking powder....
