strawberry shortcake
I made this last night for a family get-together and was told it was the best strawberry shortcake ever tasted. It is easy and delicious–the strawberries can be made ahead of time, and the dry biscuit ingredients can also be mixed ahead. Just add the wet ingredients after dinner and whip the cream while the biscuits bake. It’s the perfect end to a meal on a warm evening!
chicken taco salad
when you’re craving mexican but no quiero taco bell, try this yummy chicken taco salad. it’s kind of like a homemade yet healthier version of a burrito bowl–no need for the tortilla or taco shell.
fresh pumpkin bread
this fresh pumpkin bread is delicious, but admittedly, some work. no judgment if you decide to go the can route! however, I will say that the labor is worth it in the end–the bread comes out extremely moist, fresh, and delicious!
slow cooker chili with jalapeño cheddar cornbread
there is no better fall meal than slow cooker chili with jalapeño cheddar cornbread. it is such a comforting dinner, especially on a cool night. i live in palm beach, so we don’t get many of those, but i make it anyway (because let’s be honest, it tastes good no matter what the weather may be..)!
monster cookie ice cream sandwiches
monster cookie ice cream sandwiches? yes PLEASE! monster cookies are absolutely delicious alone (i have a batch on hand almost always.. #confessions), and they are even better with ice cream. i used vanilla bean gelato, but use whatever ice cream you like. let the ice cream sit out at room temperature to thaw a bit, then smear in between two cookies.
