HAPPY FEATURED 5!!!

When you least expect me.....

EXPECT ME!

HAPPY FEATURED 5!

OK, so Uru has been on "break"
and she comes back with this
CRAZY post full of amazingness. 
Go check it out.... not the least of which
is the Feta & Sun dried Tomato Pull-Apart Scrolls!

 

As Fall is upon us I'm starting to think more and more about SOUP!
Unfortunately it's still in the 90s here!
But I'm stocking up on recipes...
this Roasted Poblano and Sweet Corn Chowder
 had my name written ALL over it! 
Thanks Wylde Thyme

Have I ever described how I do this blog?
Well, when stuff pops in my mailbox I save it in a folder....
 it makes it very convenient
but then when I slack off [like ALL the time it seems]
it's tough to pick only 5 from ALL those messages....
this one from the Hungry Couple was dated 8/31.  EEK. 
Anyhow, Loaded Potato Salad.... how YUM is that?

well.... she had me with her hashtag #kingshawaiian
I freaking LOVE those rolls.
Through some HONEY BBQ Chicken on there....
THAT's how you land a husband!
HA! Thanks Big Bear's Wife

How could I not include what Jennifer at

Peanut Butter & peppers touted as

The Best Coconut Macaroons EVER

Can't wait to try <3 







And ONE for Good luck!
But of course!

Can you say Potato Chip Brownies?
Gerry at Foodness Gracious can!
I'm not going to lie.... I have already had one FAIL at these
but in all fairness..... I didn't make HIS Brownie recipe
I used a prefab mix because I was being lazy. 
It made the chips soggy possibly
because it was too watery....
I'm trying AGAIN and following to a T!

Featured Five

It's that time of the week!  That's right....
 Young Grasshopper's Featured Five
of all the many awesome posts and recipes I saw this week I just want to raise my beer {remember, Saturday was National Beer Day} to some and of course share them in case you missed them. As always,  I could come up with dozens but these are my TOP FIVE for the week ending April 13th 2012 {listed in chronological order, no favoritism among my favorites!}:

Emily at She Makes & Bakes posted a beautiful bit of simplicity with her Nutella Strawberries.... so, so beautiful!

Tina at The Flour Trader really caught my eye with an Austrian Springtime favorite.... Berry Meringue Slices.  Love Sweet & Tart!

Heather  at the Sweet & Savory Tooth hit the mark with the maple and cornbread combo.... remember my Madagascar Corn Bread?  Well, here's another keeper for sure! Maple Cornbread, YUM!

Crystal from Mrs. Happy Homemaker speaks the language of love..... Bacon Stuffed Waffles??? Shut. The. Front. Door.

p.s. check out my Ham & Cheese Waffles of yesteryear, it's a problem for me :)

I really thought this post from Lindsay at The Lean Green Bean was awesome and not for any particular recipe {although all look awesome} but more conceptually.... we all run out of ideas and I so love someone sharing their "day in the life" ideas to add some ammo to the arsenal! Thanks for How To Eat Healthy During The Week!

    




And of course..... My ONE FOR GOOD LUCK!

This certainly is a lucky one.... Thanks Kelly at Eat Yourself Skinny for testing & reporting the

Pinterest Diet Coke Brownie recipe....

cannot wait to try this one!
