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.

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!!! 
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!!! 
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 
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!!! 
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!!!
If you’re not a giant nerd like me, you’re probably reading this rolling your eyes, so my apologies, I really just can’t make myself be any cooler, I have tried and I have failed haha. Since I will be off to my happy place I thought I might give y’all an absolutely delicious, super fun and early St. Patrick’s Day treat. 
I figure it’s next week so you might want to get your 
pineapple juice…
ginger ale…
lime sherbet…
and the limoncello…
and enjoy!!!
Well, I guess that whole luck of the Irish didn’t quite rub off when I made these because early early AM on Monday while driving to the gym, some unseen and unknown object was in the road, jumped up and cut about a 4 inch long gash in my tire. Let’s just say I didn’t get very far on that tire. Y’all, it was pitch black out and the road I was stopped on had no turn offs anywhere, so I’m just hanging out on a road that people fly by on with nowhere to go sitting with my flashers on.
I was a little terrified to be sure, but God bless the kind police officers who not only blocked the road so no one would hit me but also changed my tire. Also, you will notice down below that the ‘Recipe Card’ that usually accompanies my posts is for some reason not wanting to work, so I will be putting this recipe right here in the text, sorry if it looks super janky haha. I do absolutely love these pretzel bites though, so easy to make and hello, sweet and salty, my absolute favorite. I hope y’all had a wonderful day and thank you so much for stopping by!!!
chocolate melted and ready to be dipped…
then, ready for sprinkles…
Anyways, sorry I’m totally just rambling which is an unfortunate side effect of little sleep and too much caffeine haha. Let’s get to the good stuff, and I really mean the good stuff with this casserole, which is such an un-fancy word for the epicness that is this dish. I would like to preface this recipe with the simple fact that I might have a slight obsession with nachos. I know, it’s so simplistic of me but y’all, the cheesiness, the crunchiness, and the overall awesomeness that is nachos causes this obsession. 
They are definitely one of my favorite and very often eaten cheat foods haha. So the recipe I’m sharing today is pretty much my food love wrapped up in the form of a casserole, and mostly cooked in a cast iron skillet, which is as I have said before is always a good idea. Y’all, this is so gooey and flavorful and definitely don’t forget to just go to town with this casserole with plenty of nacho chips–even if some are already baked into it. I hope you all get to enjoy this casserole soon and thank you so much for stopping by!!!
nice and browned…
diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, corn, black beans, taco seasoning…
all mixed in and bubbly…
covered and ready to simmer…
now 1/2 into your casserole dish (look at all of the awesome steam)…
now 1/2 the chips…
and 1/2 the cheese…
the rest of the beef mixture…
and the rest of the chips…
into the oven for a bit…
then the other half of the cheese…
then enjoy!!!
Speaking of feeling run down, it seems like everyone I have been around has been sick, like full on cold/sinus-y/flu-y garbage and y’all no one has time for that mess, including me. Sooo, thinking that maybe y’all either have been a bit under the weather yourselves or around what feels like only sick folk, I think some major vitamins and minerals are in order. 
This smoothie is chock full of beta-carotene, vitamin C and is also nice and anti inflammatory. As far as smoothies go this one is darn tasty, not at all too sweet due to the amount of carrots in this, but it’s a really nice flavor. Obviously, you can totally up the sweet factor by throwing in some more mango, but I really enjoyed this smoothie as is. I hope you’re having a wonderful (and healthy) week so far and thank you so much for stopping by!!! 
blend, blend, blend…
and enjoy!!!
Obviously, since it wasn’t my cheat day I didn’t have any, but now I have an armful of candy just sitting around looking at me, waiting to be noshed in a couple of days (insert maniacal laughter here). The next day, there were visible looks of shame and sugar hangover on many many faces, mixed with mumblings of needing more vegetables in their life. I’m totally not judging even a little bit, just so y’all know, I would have been right there with them if I had given myself free reign, but per usual I sat there and ate my grilled chicken with asparagus while eyeing the candy and saying things like, ‘just you wait you naughty little chocolates’, #totallynotkidding. 
Anyways, enough candy talk, it’s almost the weekend, AKA Friday Eve to all of you, and if you still want to enjoy a lovely libation this weekend but very much minus the guilt, that is what I’m bringing y’all today. As I have said many, many times in the past, Gin & Tonics are my drink, like always, and since they tend to be on the very low spectrum of calories as far as drinks go, I thought I might throw in some coconut water (for hydration obviously) to see what would happen and it totally came out great. This is a not a sweet drink by any means, just a super light and fresh cocktail that won’t leave you feeling like poo later. I hope all of you are having a fantastic day, have a wonderful long weekend and thank you so much for stopping by!!! 
and enjoy y’all!!!
