Easy Strawberry Cheesecake Salad

May 9, 2017 By Holly

Happy Happy Tuesday everybody!!!  Y’all, it became quite apparent when I walked into the grocery store that it is in fact now strawberry season, or strawberries are in season, however you want to look at it haha. 

All I know, is that I was practically knocked over by the incredible strawberry smell (which happens to be one of my favs) that was wafting from the produce department and I just knew that I had to make this cheesecake ‘salad’ for my next cheat day.  A couple of years ago I had this salad at some gathering (honestly cannot remember what the heck it was) but aside from the fact that I don’t remember the event, I do remember this salad (shocker I only have food on the brain). 

The host or hostess of this gathering served this salad with strawberries only and it was just to die for.  Sweet, decadent and the slight feeling that I wasn’t being completely ‘bad’ since there is fresh fruit in it hehe.  I was elated when they gave me this recipe and it’s sooo easy to make.  Really just a few ingredients, and no need for an oven which is starting to be a good thing with the rising temperatures. 

I threw bananas into this salad because I’m partial to the whole strawberry/banana combo but please feel free to substitute any fruit that you love because I see this cheesecake mixture tasting amazing with pretty much everything.  This would make for a wonderful side dish or even just dessert for your next gathering.  I hope you’re having a wonderful week so far and thank you so much for stopping by. 

First, cream cheese…

just so y’all know, I literally touched the cream cheese and my sous chef ended up like this (she is cc obsessed)

beat the cream cheese then add the pudding mix (with a very large dog underneath you, obvi)…

mix together…

this is me demonstrating slowly adding the cream (yes, it’s important to not dump it all in at once)…

all mixed in, then add powdered sugar and vanilla…

now, the strawberries and bananas mixed in with lemon juice…

the cheesecake mixture…

all mixed in and ready to be eaten…

and enjoy!!!

Easy Peasy Margaritas

May 4, 2017 By Holly

Happy Happy Thursday everybody, and as a shout out to my Star Wars friends,  May the Fourth be with you hehe #sorrynotsorry.  Tomorrow, as many of you probably already  know is Cinco De Mayo, and let’s be real, it’s no celebration unless there are margaritas (and nachos) involved. 

I’m here today to help out with the margarita part…you’re welcome.  I wish I could say that I had invented this incredibly easy cocktail, but I totally didn’t.  I’m mildly obsessed with the Food Network and the Cooking channel, and I came across this recipe about a month or so ago on ‘The Kitchen’ and I honestly didn’t think margaritas could be that easy to make. 

Y’all, I was totally wrong, they are that easy to make, and I just loooved the limeade concentrate because it made these a bit more tart than a normal margarita.  When it’s time for margaritas tomorrow (or tonight, no judgement) you can have them ready in about 5 minutes with this easy peasy recipe.  I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far, have a wonderful Cinco de Mayo and thank you so much for stopping by.     

all of your ingredients into your blender…

blend, blend, blend…

and enjoy!!!

Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Dip

May 2, 2017 By Holly

Happy Happy Tuesday everybody!!! So sorry for not only the lack of blog posts last week (I was at the Happiest Place on Earth) but then this dang blog posted 1/2 finished about 5 days too early haha.  Technology can be amazing but it can also be downright silly, especially when you’re not exactly a computer genius. 

Oh well, again sorry for the confusion if you got the notification that I had posted something.  Alrighty, let’s get to the good stuff shall we? and y’all let me tell you this dip is beyond the good stuff. 

I honestly considered renaming this Crack Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Dip,  but I already have a crack dip and thought that that might be confusing.  So let me just shout from the rooftop exclaim how unbelievably, insanely addictive and delicious this dip is. 

It’s super easy to make and I was totally bummed that I didn’t triple this recipe, which BTW I totally recommend doing.  This dip is savory, creamy, cheesy and just enough spicy.  Anyways y’all, please just do yourself a huge favor and make this dip ASAP! Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!!!

all ingredients into your crockpot…

after cooking for a bit and all mixed up and ready to eat…

and enjoy!!!

Lemon Meringue Pie Martini

April 20, 2017 By Holly

Happy Happy Cocktail Thursday everybody!!! Ok, so I will assume that most or all of you have at least heard about the whole I-85 bridge collapse debacle here in Atlanta by now, which btw has taken a city with already horrendous never ending/infuriating/there’s not a word big enough to describe how annoying traffic and made it 100x worse.  What you might not have heard about,  is that last week and then again this week there were 2 separate occasions on 2 separate major interstates that 2 separate tanker trucks filled with hazardous material flipped over spilling their contents everywhere and shutting those roads down for hours on end. 

OOOH, and again this week another major interstate literally buckled in half due to some gas leak underneath the road.  Y’all, I don’t know if you personally know anyone that does exorcisms or voodoo or some kind of huge sage burning ritual, but I do believe the ATL is in desperate need of it, holler at your girl if you do haha.  Well, let me tell you, I know what I’m in need of and that is this delicious cocktail.  It’s starting to warm up around here and every time that happens I want delicious tangy desserts like lemon bars or key lime pie. 

This craving -and not to mention the giant bottle of Limoncello I have hanging around- got me wondering if I could make a totally kick butt cocktail that tastes like lemon meringue pie.  Y’all, I do not like to pat myself on the back, but this drink knocks it out of the park with flavor, it tastes just like a lemon meringue pie!!!  This is liquid pie in a glass that made me feel all kinds of good.  Please, just make this soon, you will be very happy you did.  Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have an absolutely fantastic week!!

all of the ingredients…

and enjoy!!!

BBQ Baked Potato Casserole

April 18, 2017 By Holly

Happy Happy Tuesday everybody! I hope everyone of you had an absolutely wonderful weekend full of food, family, faith and fun….speaking of food and you know, this being a food blog and all, I have a super awesome recipe for you guys today.  I wish I could give credit where credit was due for this recipe, but it’s another one my mom handed me that she’s had for years and has no idea where it came from haha. 

All that I do know is that this recipe is freaking delicious, incredibly easy to make, and boy will it feed a crowd.  This casserole is layered with mashed potatoes, cheese, bacon and BBQ…are you drooling yet? because I know I am.  Y’all this stuff is so good I had to give the remainder away for fear that I wouldn’t be able to control myself and end up eating the whole thing at some point during the week while staring shamefully at my grilled chicken and zucchini. 

I promise you will feel the same way when you pull this stuff out of the oven and it’s bubbly and the heavenly scent of bacon and BBQ is wafting in the air.  I think this would make a perfect easy dinner time meal for you and yours and I can’t tell you how much I loooove this dish, it is so hearty and savory.  Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you’re having a fantastic week so far.   

getting the mashed potato mixture ready…

mix, place in the microwave, mix again, then add the sour cream and chiles…

mix in the goodies…

then place into the bottom of your pan, then sprinkle the bacon bits aka food fairy dust on top…

then a layer of cheese…

then all of the BBQ and the extra sauce…

and enjoy!!!

  5. Spoon in your mashed potato mixture into your pan and evenly sprinkle the bacon bits all over the top of the potatoes then 1 cup of the cheddar cheese on top of the bacon.
  6. Now, evenly arrange the BBQ all on top of the cheese, then drizzle the BBQ sauce all over the BBQ.

A Peeps Cocktail

April 15, 2017 By Holly

Happy Happy Saturday everybody & early Happy Easter!!!  So I will go ahead and apologize for the fact that I’m posting a cocktail in celebration of The Resurrection of Christ, but hey the big  JC turned water into wine, so there you go. 

I have done another slightly Peeps related cocktail a couple of years ago called The Pink Bunny, but I really wanted to improve on and make more of an effort to make sure it tasted like a Peep Marshmallow.  I know there are a few Peep haters out there but come on y’all, they’re sugar covered marshmallows that are extra cute and extra colorful, sounds like a win to me. 

Anyway, back to this cocktail, I will let you know, it’s strong, very strong, I mean it does have a lot of liquor, but the heavy cream makes this cocktail very smooth and not to mention very decadent.  This is a very easy drink to throw together and y’all,  look how perfectly pink and pretty it is #bonus!  I hope you get to enjoy this cocktail soon, thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful Easter with your loved ones.  

all ingredients, except the heavy cream measured out…

heavy cream and just a dash of food coloring…

and enjoy!!!

Easy Caramel Marshmallow Brownies

April 13, 2017 By Holly

Happy Thursday everybody!!!  Y’all, I am sooo excited to share today’s recipe with you guys.  Have you ever had one of those days when you are literally taken over by a craving?  Like, wanting to devour whatever you’re craving is pretty much the only thing running through your  mind aaalll dddaayyy,  especially while you eat your grilled chicken and asparagus (again!). 

No joke,  I had been having a giant hankering for all things chocolate, caramel and marshmallow-ey for 4 days non-stop last week.  Y’all it got so bad that I wondered if there was a patch that existed haha, FYI there isn’t one.  Sooo I knew that for my next cheat day, these 3 delicious elements absolutely all had to be included in whatever I made…so, say hello to these amazing caramel marshmallow brownies!

  I knew that I had to use my mom’s amazing brownie recipe (which is basically the best chocolate cake ever), and there was certainly no time to waste by making homemade caramel sauce, hence the caramel sundae sauce I used instead,  and to make it extra festive, I put these adorable little bunny marshmallows on top. 

I must forewarn you, the heavenly smell that will come out of your kitchen while these brownies bake is soo drool worthy you almost won’t be able to contain yourself, then you top these bad boys off with caramel and marshmallows, OMG hello eye rolling worthy goodness.  I’ll just say it, go make these, your day will be better for it, because there is just no denying these decadent bites of awesome 😀 Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!!! 

brownie ingredients into the bowl…

mix, mix, mix…

into your pan…

bake, bake, bake, then poke some holes into it…

then pour all of that delicious caramel on top…

then cover in (adorable) mini marshmallows…

broil the little bunnies hehe and stick in some equally adorable M&M’s…

and enjoy!!!

Happy Happy Tuesday y’all!!!   OMG it has been too long no see around here, but for reals, work has had me sooo beyond busy that I literally just haven’t had enough time to cook and blog, honestly I was lucky enough to even get a few hours of sleep haha.  I do want to say thank you to everyone who reached out to me to say hey and to see if everything was alright, too sweet of y’all. 

Anyways, so lets get to the good stuff and the reason that you are all here…delicious food!  Having mentioned my love/obsession with nachos in the past, I will not write another novel ode to nachos but I just wanted to throw out a quick reminder that I love them, hence today’s recipe.  One of the few things that I love more (food wise) than nachos is dessert, so marrying the two is really just perfection.  I had a feeling when I was throwing around ideas for this recipe that it would be amazing, but I had no idea the level of awesome that these would turn out to be. 

These are absolutely the perfect amount of sweet & salty, crunchy mixed with the texture of the soft sweet strawberries, and lets not forget the incredible addition of the melted cookie butter.  The only thing that I would have done differently in this recipe is make more of it!  Y’all just do yourselves a wonderful favor and make these dessert nachos, they’re sooo delicious and easy to make.  I hope y’all are having a wonderful day and thank you so much for stopping by!!!    

melted butter onto your tortilla chips…

once the chips are covered in butter, add your cinnamon/sugar…

place on a tray and broil them for a few minutes…

then pile on all the stuff you want and enjoy!!!

baked-ricotta-dip| HollysCheatDay.comRicotta cheese is so smooth and creamy, and almost sweet, so I threw in parmesan and cream cheese to add some tartness to it.  Of course I had to add garlic because, mmm garlic, then the crowning glory of flavor is the fresh rosemary, yum, yum, yummy y’all. 

baked-ricotta-dip| HollysCheatDay.comFor reals, this dip takes so little time to throw together, you seriously have no reason not to make it.  Also, you totally need to toast some baguette slices to put this dip on, drooool.  I may or may not have rolled my eyes in delicious celebration with the first bite, this dip is definitely on my list of ‘keeper’ recipes.  Have a wonderful day y’all!!  

First, start with your main ingredient, the Ricotta…
