There is not much in this world that appeals to me more than hanging out on the beach with a book in hand. What a great summertime activity, don't you think? And 'Or so she says...' has teamed up with all her contributors to give you the chance to win just that! All of the OSSS contributors got together to give away their favorite books, perfect for summer reading! The coolest part is, one person will win EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. That's right, the whole bundle! That's 15 books, yo. Oh, but it gets better. <a href="http://www.getawaytoday.com/?referrerid=6056" target="_blank">Get Away Today</a>, the greatest travel agency ever and 'Or so she says...' contributor, offered another winner a 3-night hotel stay in Anaheim or San Diego (winner’s choice) with their choice of two adult theme park tickets... PLUS, they get the 15 book bundle too!<br />

I am loving my summer so far, but can't believe we only have a month left until school starts again! Aaggghhh! Kyla will be starting High School (freaking out just a little bit!), my 2 middle boys will be in Middle school and then my youngest in Elementary school. We'll now be a 3 school family! Lots of running around for Mama!:)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So while there's still some summertime left you'll have to try these cupcakes...they are the perfect summertime treat! They are one of my most requested cupcakes to bring to any kind of function. I never have any leftover and I always get loads of compliments. They are delicious, make them soon, you won't be diappointed and enjoy the rest of your summer!!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
So let's get started with it! And don't forget to hop around to all the others' blogs as well!<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">What inspired you to start your blog?</span><br />
<br />
I started a blog that all my friends and family could use to share good recipes that they've tried back in 2008. The only problem was I was the only one posting any recipes!:) So, one day I had some inspiration. How about I turn my blog into a Mother/daughter recipe blog. Then I could not only do something I loved but would also be able to teach my daughter valuable cooking skills and get to spend time with her...win, win situation! And so our Double the Deliciousness blog was born!<br />
<br />
Here's me and my daughter. She hates this picture, but it's the only one I could find to crop that we were both in! We're going to have to fix that sometime.:)<br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">What's your favorite and least favorite thing about blogging?</span><br />
<br />
I have many favorite things about blogging! I love finding, making, creating and sharing wonderful recipes that are both old and new favorites. I love learning new things about computers and blogging. And I love connecting with readers and fellow bloggers out there!<br />
<br />
My least favorite thing about blogging is that it can be very time consuming. I've had to discipline myself to not use too much of my time blogging. I've also had to take some time off of blogging so that I can devote more time with my family. Time, time, time...it would be so nice if my body didn't require sleep!:) (although that is one of my favorite things to do!)<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Tell me with only 20 words, 20 things you love.</span><br />
<br />
Hubby, children, chocolate, baking, sleeping, blogging, vacationing, sheets, baseball, strawberries, decorating, cookbooks, music, church, teenagers, friends, clean home (sorry, that was 2:)), surprises (but only if I don't know they're coming), holidays, summertime, and packages!<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">What is the one recipe you are most often asked to share? Please share it with us!</span><br />
<br />
I work with the young women (ages 12-18) in our church and we had a recipe exchange one evening where each girl brought one of their favorite recipes to share with everyone and the recipe. The girls LOVED what I brought and I hear quite often "what are we doing for our next activty, and are you bringing breadsticks and cheese dip?" I have been making this since I was a teenager myself and is still one of my favorite recipes. <br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">5 favorite beauty products, right now...what are they?</span></div>
<br />
This one is a little hard for me. I'm a pretty natural girl. All I need is mascara and a good moisturizer (which I am still trying to find!) and I'm good to go. So, here goes...<br />
<br />
1. Since I only wear mascara, I'll tell you my favorite kind that I have been using for the past 2 years or so. It is Cover Girl LashBlast volume, in the orange tube. Love it!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">What's your personal mantra? Something you tell yourself on a regular basis?</span><br />
<br />
"Prioritize the moment". We all have busy lives and it's so easy to get caught up in the busyness of it all, so I have tried to live by this saying. Whenever I am doing something (usually dishes, laundry, computer time) and my kids ask for help with homework or just need to talk or my husband is feeling a little neglected, I remind myself that those things will keep until later, my family needs me now...prioritize the moment!<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">What movie made you laugh more than any other?</span><br />
<br />
NACHOOOOOO!! Makes me laugh every time I watch it! Especially when it's with my hubby! He cracks up and throughout and then quotes and talks like Nacho for the rest of the day...or week.:) (That's Nacho Libre just in case you didn't know.:))<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">If you could recommend one family vacation, what would it be?</span><br />
<br />
My favorite thing to do with my family is to go to our cabin. It is so good to be away from civilization for a little while. No electronics...all family time. Hiking, swimming in the pond, and water sliding down the mountain, 4-wheelin', horney toad catching, etc. Just quality time spent with my family is what I love! So, I recommend finding a cabin to go to, or even just go camping for a week. Time well spent!<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">What goals are you currently working on?</span><br />
<br />
It seems I am always working on losing weight. It's super hard when you love food, and especially baking.:) My goal is not to lose weight to be skinny, but to feel better physically. I want to be able to enjoy an active life with my family, children, and grand-children (eventually!:))<br />
<br />
I am also working on family history. It is so fascinating to me to learn about where I came from and the stories associated with my ancestors!<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Please share links to 3 blog posts that are special to you and explain why.</span><br />
<br />
I love how recipes create memories. These 3 recipes are special to me because of who they came from and the memories I have that surround them.<br />
<br />
1. <a href="http://doublethedeliciousness.blogspot.com/2010/09/helen-jean-punch.html" target="_blank"> Helen Jean Punch </a> This punch has been a staple in my family since I was a teenager. We have it every Thanksgiving and Christmas (and a few times in between!) It is called Helen Jean Punch because we got it from a good friend of the family one Christmas named Helen Jean. I also love recipes named after people!<br />

2. <a href="http://doublethedeliciousness.blogspot.com/2012/08/grandmas-white-brownies-blondies.html" target="_blank">Grandma's White Brownies</a> This one goes back to when I was a child. Grandma used to make these whenever she would visit from Kentucky and they were one of my favorites. Brings back lots of memories of my Grandma whenever I eat them.<br />

3. <a href="http://doublethedeliciousness.blogspot.com/2010/12/almond-poppyseed-bundt-cake.html" target="_blank">Almond Poppyseed Bundt Cake</a> This recipe was "stolen" by one of my roommates and good friend from her former roommate. She would not share the recipe and one day left it out on the counter....needless to say it got copied. And I'm sure glad it did. It is one of my hubby's favorite desserts and is made pretty much every Father's Day for him.<br />

I can't believe I haven't posted this recipe before now. This is the granola I grew up with. It is my grandma's sister's recipe...tried and true and still going strong!:) It is simple to make and makes quite a bit, but will last for months if kept in an air tight container...but it'll most likely be gone before you have to worry about that! I love to eat a big bowl of it with milk in the morning, super filling and packed full of nutritious ingredients!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 container (2 lbs.) regular oats</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5 cups corn flakes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3/4 cups sunflower seeds (raw, unsalted)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3/4 cup wheat flour</div>

The kid's were hoping for a snow day. Gotta admit...I was too!:) But we didn't get enough snow here to warrant one apparently cause they're on their way in the freezing blowing snow! But this weather is what helped me decide what recipe to share with you all today! There's nothing quite like a nice hot bowl of soup when the weather outside if frightful (yes, I've been listening to A LOT of Christmas music!). It'll warm you right up from the inside out!</div>
<br />
This is one of those soups that if you take <em>anywhere</em> you will get request after request for the recipe! Make it for your family tonight...they will love it!</div>

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Thanksgiving through the new year is such a wonderful time. I love Thanksgiving...family & food, what's not to love!<br />

So if you haven't nailed down your menu yet, check these out!<br />

First up is the best turkey you will ever have! We started making this about 5 years ago and have made it every year since. It makes the most moist and flavorful turkey and the drippings make the most incredible gravy! You'll never want to make your turkey another way...and it's simple!</div>

I promised you a pie round-up this weekend and I realize it's Monday morning and I'm just getting around to it, but I have a good excuse. I finally figured out (with the help of my amazing husband!) how to make a hover "Pin it" button on all of our images! Just hover you mouse on any picture and a little "pin it" button will pop up so you can pin any picture you desire...simple and awesome!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've gone through all my pie archives and although I love ALL of our pie recipes on here, I've narrowed it down to my top 12 decadent pies. Any of these would be welcome in my belly at pretty much any moment in time. It doesn't have to be Thanksgiving to enjoy a slice of pie in my book.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And with that here's our top "12 decadent Pies to delight your Thanksgiving guests". Just click the title of each pie to take you to the recipe!<br />

It has been such a fun week of pies! Look for a re-cap of some of my favorite pies this weekend, PLUS next week we'll bring you our Thanksgiving must-haves! I love this time of year!!<br />
<br />
Everyone needs a fabulous Apple Pie for Thanksgiving. It's my husbands favorite kind of pie, so I've been trying to perfect an apple pie for him and have never really gotten it down...until now! I'm so excited for him to try it! I texted him this morning after I took a bite (yes, I've eaten pie for breakfast every morning this week!:)) to let him know I've finally made the perfect apple pie! Yay!<br />
<br />
I love the candy topping of the apple pie. It is the perfect combination to go with the tartness of the apples! It is beautiful! It's radiant! It's Glorious!!! I can't enough about this pie...delicious!!!<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 9" pie crusts (bottom & top)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6 cups peeled, thinly cut apples (Granny smith or any other tart apple)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 tablespoons lime juice</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3/4 cup sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/4 cup flour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/4 teaspoon salt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 tablespoons butter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Topping:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/4 cup butter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 cup chopped pecans<br />
<br />
Toss apples with lime juice in a large bowl. Mix sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt together in a separate bowl. Combine the apples with the sugar mixture until apples are coated.<br />
<br />
Place one pie crust in the bottom of a 9" pie plate. Pour apples into crust. Cover apples with 2nd pie crust and flute the edges high. Cut a few steam vents into the top of the crust. Bake at 400 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until crust is browned.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
For the topping, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Add brown sugar and whipping cream and stir constantly until mixture boils. Remove from the heat and stir in the pecans. Pour over the top crust of the apple pie and return to the oven for 4 minutes or until candy topping bubbles.<br />
<br />
Best served warm with ice cream or whipped cream! YUMMY!!!</div>

I know I keep saying how much I love every pie we've sharing this week,(<a href="http://doublethedeliciousness.blogspot.com/2013/11/pineapple-cream-pie-with-macadamia-nuts.html" target="_blank">Pineapple Cream Pie with Macadamia Nuts</a>, <a href="http://doublethedeliciousness.blogspot.com/2013/11/black-forest-pie.html" target="_blank">Black Forest Pie</a>, and <a href="http://doublethedeliciousness.blogspot.com/2013/11/pumpkin-chocolate-chip-pie.html" target="_blank">Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pie</a>) and it's true, but I really, really, REALLY LOVE this pie! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
My all-time favorite candy is Turtles, I love caramel & pecans together, and then you throw in some chocolate...my goodness, you've got me!! So when I saw this pie I knew I needed to make it for pie week! It is so good I have to confess I had 2 bites for breakfast this morning....oops!:) But I call it a victory because I didn't eat the entire pie!</div>

Top with extra whipped cream and chocolate chips or chocolate curls.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
1- 9 inch pie shell, unbaked</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Filling:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3/4 cup butter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3/4 cup sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6 tablespoons cocoa</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2/3 cup ground slivered almonds</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 tablespoons flour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 eggs, separated</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 tablespoons water</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/4 cup sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Topping:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/3 cup sour cream</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 tablespoons sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 teaspoon vanilla</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1-1 1/2 cups canned cherry pie filling</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Drizzle:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 1/2 teaspoons shortening</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in a medium sized saucepan. Once butter is melted add the sugar and cocoa and stir until well combined. Remove from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Meanwhile grind almonds in blender or food processor. I use slivered because they don't have any skins on them, that's what you want...no skins. Add the ground almonds and flour to the chocolate mixture and mix well. Add egg yolks one at a time, stirring well in between each addition. Stir in water. Set aside.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Beat egg whites until foamy, then slowly add sugar while beaters are still going and beat until soft peaks form. Fold egg whites into chocolate mixture until just mixed. Pour into unbaked pie shell and bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make the topping by combining the sour cream, sugar and vanilla in a small bowl. After pie has cooled for 5 minutes pour over warm pie and spread evenly. Then put cherries over and spread around. Return to the oven for 5 more minutes.</div>

Crust:<br />
6 tablepoons butter<br />
3/4 cup flour<br />
1/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts<br />
<br />
Pineapple filling:<br />
1 can (20 oz.) crushed pineapple in juice<br />
1/3 cup cornstarch<br />
4 egg yolks<br />
1 tablespoon water<br />
1 cup sugar<br />
2 cups milk (whole is best)<br />
2 tablespoons butter<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla<br />
<br />
Cream Cheese filling:<br />
1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened<br />
1/2 cup powdered sugar<br />
1/2 teaspoon vanilla<br />
1/3 cup finely chopped macadamia nuts<br />
1/3 cup reserved pineapple, drained<br />
<br />
Topping:<br />
2 cups whipping cream<br />
1/2 cup powdered sugar<br />
remaining pineapple, well drained<br />
macadamia nuts<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium sized bowl , cut butter into flour and nut mixture. You could also use a food processor for this step. Press crust into the bottom and up the sides of a pie plate. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZvHN1jHFY1SnueFUy8Y2pqWphj5MMpaPVGqU90U-HLPxsHiehFMdydtg-6C643QokKGZYj_Rj9kgIctRg3RG-zOTyC6y2lZ1GCqJeni0LlP9IQxlIRyFhBjqYmcUO3fjKGb7ottq8-tA/s1600/DSCN3026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZvHN1jHFY1SnueFUy8Y2pqWphj5MMpaPVGqU90U-HLPxsHiehFMdydtg-6C643QokKGZYj_Rj9kgIctRg3RG-zOTyC6y2lZ1GCqJeni0LlP9IQxlIRyFhBjqYmcUO3fjKGb7ottq8-tA/s500/DSCN3026.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
Next, start the pineapple filling by measuring out 1 cup of pineapple with juice. Drain the juice; set aside. Combine the egg yolk, cornstarch and water in a small bowl; set aside. In a medium size saucepan combine sugar, milk and drained pineapple. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until it almost comes to a boil. Turn heat to low and then add the egg yolk mixture slowly while continuing to stir. Continue cooking until filling thickens. Add the butter and vanilla and stir until butter is melted and combined. Remove from heat and place in fridge until ready to use.<br />
<br />
Now for the cream cheese filling. Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until combined and fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl a few times throughout. Add the vanilla, nuts, and drained pineapple and mix until well combined.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Spread the cream cheese layer over crust then pour the pineapple filling over that.<br />
<br />
Make the topping by mixing the whipped cream with powdered sugar and beating until stiff peaks form. Spread over entire pie and then garnish with pineapple and macadamia nuts.<br />
<br />

<br />
So join us next week EVERYDAY for a new pie recipe. We've already gotten a few knocked out and believe me you're not gonna want to miss them!<br />
<br />
And join in the fun with your family and/or friends and have your very own "We're Thankful for Pie Night"! We hold ours Wednesday Night before Thanksgiving so we can stuff our selves with pie before we're already stuffed with turkey and the goodies of Thansgiving dinner. Have everyone bring a pie and then go to town. I suggest cutting slivers or you may end up with your head in the toilet most of the night. I speak from experience...didn't know if I'd ever be able to eat another piece of pie in my entire life...glad to say I still love pie!:)<br />
<br />
So before we get to the week of glorious pie I figured we'd better give you a nice main dish. This one is a keeper, and if you have no self control (finger pointing at myself!) you may end up eating more than you would have liked. I have problems.<br />

2 cups grated mozzarella cheese<br />
1 large tomato, diced<br />
<br />
Combine warm water (I always run the water until it's temperature is hot enough that I can barely keep my finger in it...not very scientific, but it's never failed me!) yeast and sugar and let sit untl yeast is bubbly. Knead in the flour until a soft dough forms. In your mixer, add flour until the dough cleans the side of the bowl. Place dough in a bowl sprayed with cooking spray & cover. Set aside.<br />
<br />
Heat oil in frying pan over medium-high heat. Cut chicken into 1 inch pieces and grill in hot oil (or you can just grill it outside and then cut into pieces) until cooked through and browning. Add the sliced onion and garlic and sautee until onions are carmelized, about 5-8 minutes. <br />
<br />
While chicken/onion mixture is cooking, spray counter (or rolling surface) with cooking spray and roll out dough into a circular shape. Place on pizza pan and work the dough with your fingers so it covers the entire pan.<br />
<br />
Spread a thin layer of pesto over the dough, you will not need to use the entire jar of pesto. Cover the pesto with the grated cheese. Top with the chicken/onion mixture and diced tomatoes. <br />
<br />
Bake in the oven at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until crust is browned and cheese is melted.<br />
<br />
Amazing!</div>

Life sure got crazy there for a little bit and I had to make some decisions of what I could give up so I could devote more time to my kiddo's and husband. For a while I thought maybe one of the things I needed to get rid of was my blog. I was pretty torn up about it...I love this baby! But I'm happy to say, WE'RE BACK! (mostly me...Kyla is still pretty busy with school and activities, but we'll try to have her make a few appearances here and there.) I just couldn't give it up...this is my little guilty pleasure! </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So with that, I just want to tell you how happy I am that you are here and sharing this little part of my life with me. I love cooking, baking and all things food, and I love being able to converse with each of you through this blog...so please comment!:) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I couldn't have picked a bette recipe to share on our first post since our hiatus!! I can't tell you how much love I have for this dip. Everything I love wrapped in a delicious dip. A perfect football appetizer too!<br />
<br />
And by the way, it's my co-autor's 14th birthday today! Can't believe how much she's growing up! Sure do love her!</div>

<br />
5 slices of bacon<br />
1/2 of small onion, diced<br />
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened<br />
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder<br />
1 teaspoon black pepper<br />
3/4 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese<br />
<br />
Fry bacon in frying pan until crisp. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to cool. Add onion to bacon grease and saute until onions are carmelized (turn a nice golden brown color), about 5 minutes. Make sure to scrap the bottom of your pan while onions are cooking to get the yummy bacon goodness mixed in there! Remove onions to a medium sized mixing bowl using a slotted spoon to drain most of the bacon grease.<br />
<br />
Add the cream cheese, bacon broke into pieces, garlic powder, pepper and Parmesan cheese to the mixing bowl with the onions. Mix until well combined. <br />
<br />
Place into 2 one cup sized ramekin dishes (or any small oven safe bowls). Bake at 350 degress for 15 minutes.<br />
<br />
Serve with crackers...my favorite are Ritz or Wheat Thins.<br />

<br />
2 1/2 cups flour<br />
1 teaspoon baking powder<br />
1 teaspoon salt<br />
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened<br />
2 cups sugar<br />
2 eggs<br />
1 container (15 oz.) whole milk ricotta cheese<br />
zest and juice of one medium lemon</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Glaze:<br />
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar<br />
zest and juice of 2 medium lemons</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Stir to combine and set aside.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In an electric mixer beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time and beat to incorporate between each egg. Add the ricotta cheese, lemon juice and zest and beat until combined. Mix in the dry ingredients until combined.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silpat. Using a 2 tablespoon size (medium) scoop, place cookies on baking sheets. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the edges just start to get golden brown. Let cookies sit on baking sheets for about 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar, juice and zest. If too runny, add a little more powdered sugar and if too solid add some more lemon juice until it reaches the desired consistency. Spoon or drizzle glaze over cookies. The glaze will harder after an hour or so and then they can be stacked in a container for delivery…or a late night snack!</div>

It has come and gone. The first day of school. And it was successful! We are looking forward to a fabulous school year. The older 2 (my middle schoolers) have some pretty high goals set for themselves this year in school, but they're gonna rock it! Straight A's can be achieved!!!:)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And with school starting, summer is ending. Sad face here! I could really use another month of summer vacation! And if I could make that happen, I would sit outside every evening and sip away at this Pina Colada and watch the sun set. Aw, that sounds nice doesn't it? I didn't get enough of that in this summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, while the days are still warm, whip up a batch of this cool, refreshing drink and sit back and relax. It would also be a wonderful & refreshing after school treat for your back to schoolers! A nice cool drink after a long day at school, you'll be the best Mom on the planet!</div>

about 1 liter lemon-lime soda, whatever brand you like<br />
ice<br />
lemon slices for garnish, if desired<br />
<br />

I always get a little depressed this time of year when I go into Walmart/Target etc. to find SCHOOL SUPPLIES lining the aisles. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! I really don't need the reminder that summer is half over already. I really wish they'd wait until 2 weeks before school starts to do that to me! De.press.ing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I love eggs! They are so easy to make, pretty inexpensive, and so versatile! I wanted a delicious & healthy (chocked full of veggies) breakfast so I threw this together & it was a winner. It is packed with protein so it is the perfect way to start your day...especially if you're a little depressed.:)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm convinced that if you put "with bacon" in the title of almost any recipe, more people will make it! Don't you agree? Creamed Corn sounds good and all, but Creamed Corn with Bacon....much better!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've got a fabulous straight forward <a href="http://doublethedeliciousness.blogspot.com/2012/06/creamed-corn.html">Creamed Corn</a> recipe on here already, but if you love bacon (& onions and garlic and jalapenos!), this is the one for you! We like to serve it with our <a href="http://doublethedeliciousness.blogspot.com/2013/06/chicken-cordon-bleu.html">Chicken Cordon Bleu</a> as a side dish, but I could eat it as a main dish...which is what I usually do for lunch the next day with the leftovers. Heat up a big bowl and dig in....y.u.m! It is also a perfect side to go with any grilling you'll be doing throughout the summer, but just know, it may just be the hit of the show instead of your main dish! It's a spotlight hog!:)</div>

10 strips of bacon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 yellow onion, diced</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 jalapeno, diced</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 clove of garlic, pressed or minced</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 cups frozen sweet kernel corn</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8 oz. cream cheese</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Salt & pepper to taste</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to cool. Drain bacon grease, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the skillet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add the onion, jalapeno (remove seeds and ribbing before dicing if you like less heat. That's what I did and it was perfect!), and garlic & cook until the onion is translucent. Add the corn and cook until it is warmed through, about 6-7 minutes. Reduce heat to low. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Break cream cheese until chunks and add to the corn mixture along with the heavy cream, salt and pepper. Stir until cream cheese has melted and incorporated with the corn. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Place corn in a serving bowl and top with bacon pieces. </div>

Tony got the cutest Father's Day gift Sunday from our 2 youngest (Eli, 10 & Rhett, 6). They brought home a DVD from church that their leaders put together for Father's Day. It was an interview style set-up with one of their leaders asking them questions about their Dad. It was HILARIOUS!! They asked what was one thing that your Dad is good at, and then asked them to name one thing that your Dad is <i>not</i> good at. Eli thought about it for a while and his answer was that "My Mom's never left us alone with my Dad for like more than a day because I think she doesn't think he's too good at cooking because we usually end up getting something store-bought." Hahahaha!! Totally crack me up! Just shows who does most the cooking around our house. (Although Tony does make a pretty awesome <a href="http://doublethedeliciousness.blogspot.com/2011/05/mothers-day-omelet.html">Omelet</a>!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, guess what? Tony's going to be home with those 2 youngest all week long. My oldest son is at Scout camp all week and Kyla and I are headed to girls camp today until Friday. Guess they're going to have a lot of "store-bought" food!:) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But at least they're last meal before all that "store-bought" stuff was a good one. Actually, a GREAT one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've got a <a href="http://doublethedeliciousness.blogspot.com/2011/11/chicken-cordon-bleu-casserole.html">Chicken Cordon Bleu casserole</a> recipe on here, and it is delicious and all, but this one today is THE REAL DEAL! The addition of the mustard in the egg wash is perfect. Gives it that little bit of tang that made this dish. They really are pretty easy to throw together, so don't be scared and jump in...you'll love them!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 sleave Ritz crackers</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4 slices whole wheat sandwich bread (homemade or store bought)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6 tablespoons butter, melted</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6 slices ham (not too thin, you don't want them tearing when you roll them up)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 cups shredded swiss cheese</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 eggs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 1/2 tablespoons dijon mustard</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3/4 cup flour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place crackers and bread in a food processor (or blender in my case) until they are ground into coarse crumbs. While still processing, drizzle in the melted butter until combined. Place crumbs on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven for about 5 minutes. Stir the crumbs around at the half-way mark. They should be nice and golden brown. Place in a pie plate and set aside.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Turn temperature of oven down to 400 degrees.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take chicken and cut length wise down the fattest part of the breast, do not cut through, just make a long slender pocket. Place about 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese in the middle of a slice of ham and roll tightly. Place rolled ham into the pocket of the chicken and make sure chicken covers all the ham. Repeat with all 6 chicken breasts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Place flour in a shallow bowl. Beat eggs with mustard in another shallow bowl. Take your chicken and cover in flour, then coat in the egg wash & then dredge in the cracker/bread crumbs. Make sure the entire chicken is covered with crumbs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet that has a small lip (you don't want the juices running into your oven).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Place chicken in oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (should reach 160 degrees F).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

As some of you know, my husband and I have been on a diet (I really hate that word, but for lack of a better one...) since February. It has had it's ups and downs (the downs mostly came during the stressful month of May...and I have learned that I am a stress eater!), but it has been fantastic for us. I've just briefly mentioned it a few times here on the blog, but went into more detail over at <a href="http://oneshetwoshe.com/2013/04/egg-scramble-supreme-my-favorite-diet-she-jana.html">Or So She Says</a> for one of my blog posts there, so if you'd like to know more about it head <a href="http://oneshetwoshe.com/2013/04/egg-scramble-supreme-my-favorite-diet-she-jana.html">over there</a>.

We had family pictures taken last week...finally! It had only been about 3 years since our last ones. Sheesh! Anyway, I absolutely LOVE them. They turned out great! And they really made me realize how much Tony & I have lost. I wanted to see the difference side by side so made a "before" and "current...not our "after" just yet!" collage. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
WOW.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cringe to see what we looked like in our "before" picture. (That's the whole reason I'm having issues with posting this collage!) I'm printing it off and hanging it on my fridge for those days (which have been <i>many</i> lately) that I just want a stinkin' brownie! So here it is in all it's glory...</div>

Okay, glad that's over...now, on to the recipe! <br />
<br />
When I stumbled upon this recipe (Thanks<a href="http://www.melskitchencafe.com/"> Mel</a>...LOVE her site!) I knew it was one that I needed to make and that could be adapted to fit our diet. It was wonderful! Just enough spicy for me (and I'm a wimp!) and paired with the cilantro lime dip...oooohhhhhh...divine!<br />
<br />
You must try these!<br />

2-2 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts<br />
1/4 cup packed brown sugar (we used equal amount of Stevia)<br />
2 tablespoons cilantro<br />
1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce, minced (scrape out the seeds unless you like your food pretty spicy!)<br />
2 teaspoons adobo sauce from the chipotle chile can<br />
1 1/2 teaspoons salt<br />
1/2 teaspoon chili powder<br />
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder<br />
1/4 teaspoon black pepper<br />
skewers, I prefer metal because I always forget to soak the bamboo ones and then they catch on fire!:)<br />
<br />
Cilantro Lime Dipping Sauce<br />
3/4 cup fat free sour cream (can use lowfat as well)<br />
1/4 cup lowfat mayonnaise or greek yogurt (we opted for nonfat greek yogurt)<br />
1/4 cup lime juice, from 2-3 limes<br />
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder<br />
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, minced<br />
2 green onions, finely chopped<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt<br />
1/8 teaspoon black pepper<br />
<br />
Slice the chicken into 1/2 inch strips. In a small bowl combine the sugar, cilantro, chipotle chile, adobo sauce, and spices. Stir to combine. Toss chicken and sugar mixture in a large ziploc bag until evenly coated. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.<br />
<br />
About 30 minutes before grilling the skewers, make dipping sauce. This will give it time in the fridge for all the flavors to mesh together. In a small bowl combine all ingredients and stir. Place in fridge until chicken is ready to serve.<br />
<br />
If using bamboo skewers, soak for 30 minutes in water before grilling. Preheat grill to medium-high (about 400 degrees). Weave chicken onto skewers making a "rolling hill" pattern. Use about 2-3 strips per skewers, depending on the length of skewer and chicken strips. Some of mine I even used 4 on. These tend to stick to my grill so I always use a coat of cooking spray before grilling. Grill for about 7-9 minutes, turning midway through cooking time, or until cooked through.<br />
<br />
Serve immediately with dipping sauce.<br />

This is a recipe that is requested often at our home and is a staple for whenever we have company over. We served these last night and had a young man who had never had them before...he's from Louisiana, so he knows all about beignets (which is pretty much the same thing as a scone). And so, instead of piling all the ingredients on top of the scones he opened up the top and stuffed them full...gotta say, it looked pretty delicious that way! And I think he probably ate 4 of them!:)<br />
<br />
Don't let the homemade scones scare you off. They are really easy to make & are delicious! This recipe makes a lot, but they are great leftovers and can also be frozen after they are fried and taste just as good warmed up. My family likes to make some smaller sized ones and toss them in a bag with some powdered sugar, or slather them with honey butter. They are also good with jam and are to DIE FOR with a little nutella spread on top!<br />

Scones:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 tablespoons yeast</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 cup warm water</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 teaspoon salt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/4 cup sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 cups warm water</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 eggs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7-8 cups flour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For Navajo Tacos:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Scones</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chili ( <a href="http://doublethedeliciousness.blogspot.com/2012/02/chili-seasoning-mix-with-chili-recipe.html">Heres a great homemade recipe</a>, or canned)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
shredded cheddar cheese</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
lettuce</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sour cream</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sliced tomatoes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sliced olives</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To make the scones:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dissolve the yeast in the 1/2 cup of warm water. While yeast is "growing", combine the butter, salt, sugar, water, eggs and 4 cups of the flour. Mix in blender using the whisking beaters until smooth. Change out the beaters for your dough arm and add the remaining flour until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. I gauge this by when the dough "cleans" the sides of my bosch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can put the dough in the fridge at this point if you are making it a head of time and just pull it out a half hour to 45 minutes before you are ready to fry them, or you can just start rolling them out and frying them right away.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Divide the dough in half and spray counter/rolling area with cooking spray (I think this works better than flouring your surface and it's a lot easier to clean up!) and roll dough until it is about 1/2 inch thick. Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into horizontal strips about 3" across and then do the same vertically.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fry them in 350 degree oil until browned on both sides. Watch them carefully...they brown quickly! Transfer to a paper towel lined plate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To assemble your Navajo taco:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Place scone(s) on bottom of plate. Ladle hot chili on top of scones. Top with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and olives.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dig in!</div>

Looking for a easy, quick and yummy summertime meal to serve your family? That's what I'm all about during the summer months! And this one is delicious....kind of reminds me of the <a href="http://doublethedeliciousness.blogspot.com/2011/03/baked-creamy-chicken-taquitos.html">Creamy Baked Taquitos</a> I <b>LOVE</b>, but in a shell instead of a tortilla. And I have just as much love for this one as the taquitos!<br />
<br />
Serve with some fresh fruit (some kind of melon is my first choice during the summer), and the<a href="http://doublethedeliciousness.blogspot.com/2010/03/best-spanish-rice-ever.html"> Best Spanish rice.</a> One of my favorite meals!</div>

2 cups chicken breast, cooked and shredded<br />
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained<br />
3 green onions, diced<br />
2 bell peppers, diced (I like color so I do 1/2 of a red, orange, yellow and green pepper, but any variation works!)<br />
1 1/2 blocks (12 oz.) cream cheese, softened<br />
1 can diced tomatoes with chilies (Rotel kind)<br />
1/2 teaspoon cumin<br />
1 cup picante sauce<br />
1 package pasta shells, cooked al dente<br />
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (sharp or colby jack work well)<br />
<br />
Cook pasta shells until al dente (you don't want them too soft they will cook some more in the oven). Drain and set aside.<br />
<br />
Mix chicken, beans, onions and bell peppers in a large bowl. Set aside.<br />
<br />
Beat cream cheese in electric mixer until soft and smooth. Slowly add the diced tomatoes while continuing to mix. Add the cumin and mix.<br />
<br />
Combine the cream cheese mixture with the chicken mixture and stir until well combined.<br />
<br />
Pour the picante sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan. Stuff shells generously with filling and place on top of picante sauce in pan.<br />
<br />
Sprinkle cheese over top of shells and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.</div>

I've been wanting to share this recipe with everyone for SO long, but just haven't because I could not come up with a name good enough for it! I got the recipe from my sister-in-law, she's been making it for family get togethers for YEARS, and it is always requested...and devoured! We just call it Candy's chex mix, but I thought it needed something better, so I asked my kids what they thought we should call it. I thought my 10 year old Eli's answer described it perfectly...he said we should call it yummy goodness!:) And that it is!! But I didn't think that was an actual name, so this long descriptive name is what you get. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's perfect to wrap up and give to teachers, neighbors, friends. Just know that if you give it away you will be hounded by everyone to make them more! But I guess that's better than eating every last bit yourself! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 box (12 oz.) Rice Chex cereal (off brand works great)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 box (12 oz.) Golden Grahams cereal (off brand works great here too!:))</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 cup sweetened coconut flakes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1/2 cup slivered almonds</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 cups sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 cups corn syrup</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Combine both cereals, almonds and coconut in a large bowl. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In a medium sized sauce pan add butter, sugar and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat until it reaches the soft ball stage. That's between 230-240 degrees using a candy thermometer. Or you can use the method we used growing up (and I still use today). Get a small cup and fill it with cold water. Test the syrup by adding a little drop into the cold water. Use your fingers and if you can mold it into a ball and it will stay formed but is still soft you've got soft ball stage...pretty easy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pour syrup over cereal mixture and using a wooden spoon stir until all pieces are well coated. Dump onto wax paper until cooled. Pull it apart into chunks and store in bags or any airtight container.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

And for your info...the cute little cups I used to put the yummy goodness in I purchased from <a href="http://www.pickyourplum.com/">Pick Your Plum</a>. I love them!:)</div>
