This No Bake Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake Lasagna is the perfect summer dessert with Oreo Thins and fresh strawberries. Melted chocolate chips, cool whip, and cream cheese serve as the base of this creamy, dreamy treat. You can make this ahead of time and throw it in the freezer, or refrigerate it overnight. No need to heat up the kitchen when its HOT, HOT, HOT! …
These Skinny Watermelon Margaritas are so refreshing with a shot of Midori Melon Liqueur in the bottom! Fresh watermelon and lime juice are blended with tequila and Agave Nectar for this thirst-quenching skinny cocktail. You can also omit the Midori and still have a delicious Watermelon Margarita with less of a kick. …
This Blueberry Cheesecake Frozen Yogurt with Dark Chocolate Chunks is so easy to make with a food processor. Plenty of blueberries are added to the mixture with cream cheese, dark chocolate chunks and graham crackers. The end result is a creamy combination that won’t leave you missing that heavy whipping cream. The biggest problem was trying to stop tasting it before it went in the freezer….
These Pineapple Orange Creamsicle Mimosas are an ethereal blend of pineapple juice, orange sherbet and sparkling Moscato. Only 3 ingredients transforms the basic mimosas into a creamy, dreamy combination that will wow your guests at your next brunch. 
Blending the ingredients together ensures the perfect flavor combination in each sip and tastes just like a classic, dreamy creamsicle. A bit of Moscato in a cocktail is just always a good idea.
I just love that mimosas are a dedicated brunch cocktail. That gives us the perfect excuse for a drink before noon (without judgment). You may have noticed that I have a minor obsession with all things brunch and cocktail, so this makes me very happy.
There is no need to limit yourself with the boring orange juice and champagne combination when there are so many possible combinations. You can try different variations of juices and fresh fruit purees and even make a beautiful mimosa bar for special occasions.
Now, that is one brunch that I want to be invited to (or any for that matter)! Just be sure to include a fruity combination of carbs and I am game.
These mimosas are just begging for you to make fruity pancakes or French Toast to go with them (the ultimate brunchie-lover spread). I recommend my Overnight Blueberry Cream Cheese French Toast or Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes.
I guess we can throw in some veggies and a bit of protein with some Vegetable Quiche Cups with Goat Cheese while we’re at it. Okay, my brunch planning work is done for today.
Now, we just need to come up with an excuse to host a brunch ASAP! Father’s Day seems reasonable to me…double header brunch and BBQ situation here we come.

These Quinoa Veggie Burgers with Avocado will even make a beef lover drool (and they did just that at my house)! My recipe includes spinach, red pepper, mushroom, onion and quinoa. They hold together beautifully while cooking by adding a couple of eggs and breadcrumbs. Throwing the veggies in a food processor makes this recipe a breeze.
I’m not a beef or pork eater and love experimenting with veggie burger recipes that my beef eating husband can even enjoy. Let me tell you, he doesn’t seem to miss the lack of beef around here one bit! It is all about great seasoning and plenty of avocado to make this recipe better than any I have ever had at a restaurant. It is well worth the extra bit of effort to make these from scratch and throw them in the freezer for a quick lunch option.
Look how nicely these held together after being cooked! You just don’t get all these beautiful colors in a chunk of beef.
I really can’t get my 4 year old daughter to eat anything with beef either (zero influence here). So, it thrilled me she nearly demolished this entire veggie burger! Oh man is it hard to get my kids to eat veggies…it is all about the camouflage technique here. Other techniques include the cheese smoother or shape shifter. We can talk about some of these later. Hmmm…I wonder if she would eat carrot ice cream.
I prefer to serve these yummy patties on a whole grain bun. Eating healthy never tasted soooo good!
Looking for more healthy meal options without beef?
Add quinoa, bread crumbs, eggs, cumin, southwest seasoning, salt and pepper; stir until combined.
This Banana Split Chocolate Bundt Cake is packed with all your favorite sundae flavors! Throw in some mashed banana, strawberries, crushed pineapple, melted chocolate chips and sour cream for moist, Bundt cake perfection. No one will get upset if you decide to drizzle a bit of extra chocolate glaze on top. You can never have too much chocolate in a cake after all.
…
This Overnight Blueberry Cream Cheese French Toast is a must for your next brunch! It is baked with blueberries and topped with a fresh blueberry syrup for double the blueberry flavor. This is a blueberry lover’s dream and you can’t go wrong with a little cream cheese to kick things into yum overdrive. …
This Sun-Dried Tomato and Kale Pasta Salad is perfect for your upcoming summer BBQ’s. A generous amount of feta cheese, cucumbers and sweet peppers are also added with an easy fresh lemon vinaigrette. No need to even worry about a bunch of extra side dishes with all the great ingredients going on here! …
This Red White and Blue Pina Colada is such a great flavor combination that gets even better as the layers bleed together. It has the classic Pina Colada flavors with the addition of strawberry and Blue Curacao.
You won’t want to wait until Memorial Day or 4th of July for this one! In fact, I think Friday night calls for a patriotic celebration in my house.

I went into a complete cocktail-making frenzy last weekend (don’t judge…my husband drank most of them)! Anyhow, I think it began with a Skinny Margarita, followed by these Coladas, and ended with Pineapple Orange Creamsicle Mimosas (coming soon). My cocktail indulgences were necessary after 2 consecutive weeks of no sleep due to a little tot that recently learned to jump out of her crib. Hence, the feeling of having a newborn all over again….yikes! Well, on the plus side at least I can drink now….LOL.
There is one true danger to drinking the Pina Colada…you run the risk of a constant stream of the, “If You Like Pina Coladas” song in your head. This is a complete travesty for me…1) I only know the title lyric of the song 2) My husband also gets this annoying song stuck in his head. This results in a household full of singers (kids included), singing the same five words over and over again. Oh blasted liquor cabinet…just talking about it is causing it to happen again! The only way to make this tolerable, is to go have a Red White and Blue Pina Colada right now. Please keep sleeping baby girl!

These Avocado Deviled Eggs are packed with flavor and so much better than the traditional recipes. Sorry regular old deviled eggs, you are no longer needed in my recipe arsenal! No worries…these are super easy to make with the addition of avocado, cilantro, a bit of spicy mustard and fresh lime juice. Top it off with fresh cilantro for a beautiful appetizer or side dish at your next get together. You will probably want to makes extras! …
