One of the main differences in our house over this past year is the change we’ve made in our breakfast routines. None of us have touched a box of cereal in months, and no one is missing it!

carrot cake waffles

Thanks to our 17 laying chickens and ducks filling our kitchen with fresh eggs daily, along with the fact that we have nowhere to rush off to in the morning (leaving us with extra time to cook), we’ve been making hot breakfasts every morning. French toast with homemade buttermilk syrup, omelettes with cheese and chives and topped with hot sauce, a bowl of oatmeal filled with a chopped apple and some raisins….the possibilities for breakfast are endless!

carrot cake waffles

Whether it’s a quick egg on a piece of toast or something a little more elaborate, like these carrot cake waffles, we’re loving eating a hearty, warm meal every morning.

Although I love a good, loaded carrot cake, my teens tend to like a waffle with a smoother texture. One of my favorite tips (for this recipe as well as ANY recipe that calls for chopped nuts) – throw your nuts in the blender and chop them up FINE. That way, you get the flavor of the nuts without the chunks of nuts. I also use pecans and walnuts nearly interchangeably, so whichever you have on hand should work.

carrot cake waffles

Another “suggestion” from the kids….the raisins are optional. Ha! Or you can leave them out of the waffles and just sprinkle them on top.

These waffles are absolutely delicious topped with some vanilla ice cream, but not everyone is going to want ice cream with breakfast. I love to top my waffles with my homemade syrup (recipe coming soon!) and some whipped cream (which seems to be tolerated better than ice cream with breakfast foods…hmm!), but I’ve been eager to try some type of cream cheese glaze, since I often eat my carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I’ll let you guys know if I end up trying it out…and I hope you’ll do the same.

Ok, who’s ready for the recipe?

It’s the time of year when gardens are bursting with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers (and lots of other garden vegetables)! We probably have upwards of 100 tomatoes on the vines in the backyard right now, and my mouth waters just thinking about eating all of those vine-ripened tomatoes. I look forward to this time of year all year long.

Cucumber tomato salad with vinaigrette dressing

Cucumber Tomato Salad is one of my favorite classic garden salad varieties, and this one is made even better with a simple vinaigrette dressing. This recipe is a perfect side-salad size to serve with dinner, but can easily be doubled if you’d like to make a larger salad. I’ve also had very good luck eating this salad the next day. Unlike leafy salads, this stores very well in the fridge!

Do you have a vegetable garden? What are your favorite garden veggies to grow?

Cucumber Tomato Salad in Vinaigrette Dressing

Ingredients:

  • 2 cucumbers
  • 2 medium tomatoes
  • ½ white onion
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic
  • ? teaspoon salt

Cucumber tomato salad with vinaigrette dressing

Directions:

1. Slice cucumbers and cut into quarters. A lot of people prefer to peel the cucumbers first, but this recipe works perfectly fine if you want to leave the peel on.
2. Cut tomatoes into bite sized pieces.
3. Peel onion and cut in half. Set one half aside.
4. Slice the onion half and and cut each slice in half, breaking apart all slices.
5. Add cucumbers, tomatoes and onion to a bowl. Pour in wet ingredients and spices. Toss well.

6. Alternatively, you can prepare the vinaigrette dressing first by mixing wet ingredients and spices, then pouring over cucumber mixture.
7. Chill for an hour, then serve.

You can add more or less of the cucumbers, tomatoes, or onions according to your taste. This salad is very versatile and always a hit!

Are you ready for football season? Do you love hosting or attending football parties with your friends and family? Mixed nuts were always served for get-togethers at our house when I was growing up. Nuts are a delicious, filling snack and a big hit with guests and especially for game day parties.

Coca Cola Spicy-Sweet Mixed Nuts Recipe

As I was thinking of a recipe to make for our upcoming fall football get-together, I couldn’t think of anything better than sweet and spicy mixed nuts. They’re delicious to eat, easy to make, and they store easily (so that I can make them ahead of time and save my sanity on game day!).

I love that this recipe has just the right amount of sweetness, thanks to Coca-Cola® and a touch of honey, paired with the perfect amount of cayenne pepper to spice things up. Don’t be intimidated by the pepper, though! These nuts are still mild enough for the kids (and those with sensitive taste buds) to enjoy while they cheer on their favorite team!

Coca Cola Spicy-Sweet Mixed Nuts Recipe

The great thing about this recipe is that it not only uses Coca-Cola® as one of the star ingredients, but it pairs perfectly with a glass of ice-cold Coca-Cola®. I picked up cases of Coca-Cola® Mini Cans at Sam’s Club during my most recent trip there…because I can never have too much Coca-Cola® at my house, especially when I know lots of people are going to be coming over.

I let Sam’s Club take the stress out of preparing for my game day parties. I’m totally hooked on Scan & Go. I scan items with my phone (via the app) as I shop throughout the store. When I’m done shopping, I can pay on my app and skip the check out lines completely. It saves me a ton of time! You can also use Club Pickup. Just order online and Sam’s Club will have your items ready for you in-store, where available. This is a great option when purchasing a variety of Coca-Cola® beverages.

Coca Cola Spicy-Sweet Mixed Nuts Recipe

Quick tip: I used a Coca-Cola® Mini Can in this recipe. Each mini can has about 1 cup of Coca-Cola®. I happily drank the second half of the can while I was preparing the recipe. However, you could easily double the recipe and use the entire mini can. If you double the recipe, I recommend splitting the nuts between two cookie sheets so that the nuts bake evenly.

Coca Cola Spicy-Sweet Mixed Nuts Recipe

Ok, enough of my chattering. Let’s get to this yummy recipe!

Coca Cola Spicy-Sweet Mixed Nuts

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup Coca-Cola
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon coarse salt
  • 3 cups of nuts (I used one cup each — peanuts, cashews, and pecans — because those are my favorites, but you can use your favorite variety)

Coca Cola Spicy-Sweet Mixed Nuts Recipe

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.

2. Toss the nuts together in a medium mixing bowl; set aside.

3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook Coke, honey, and butter, stirring frequently, until liquid is slightly reduced and starts to thicken (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in spices.

Coca Cola Spicy-Sweet Mixed Nuts Recipe

4. Pour hot glaze over the mixed nuts and stir to coat evenly. Gently pour the nut mixture onto the parchment paper and spread evenly over the cookie sheet.

Coca Cola Spicy-Sweet Mixed Nuts Recipe

5. Bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring once during cooking. Keep an eye on the nuts during the last few minutes to ensure that they don’t burn. Remove nuts to a bowl or a cool plate immediately before they harden on the cookie sheet.

6. Let nuts cool completely. Store in a closed container.

PS – While the nuts are cooking, prepare a feast for your olfactory senses. Your house is going to smell amazing!

What are some of your favorite game day recipes? Do you love preparing main dishes, appetizers, or sweets? Personally, I love football parties that have them all. Variety is good!

The kids are finally out of school for the summer and I’m shocked at how fast the time is already flying by. It’s HOT around here, and the boys seem to want to spend their days in one of two places: the pool or the couch playing video games. Sigh.

The 4th of July will be here before we know it, and I can’t wait for the backyard BBQs and our traditional picnic on the grass while we wait for the county fireworks to start. These firecracker popcorn balls (with a fun surprise inside!) are such a fun and tasty treat to take to any Independence Day celebration or get-together this year.

Firecracker Popcorn Balls Recipe

And best part of all, they’re a fun and easy kitchen project that the kids can help with (believe me, they’ll love drizzling the blue and red melted candy coating over the popcorn balls and sprinkling them with red and blue sprinkles…almost as much as they’ll enjoy biting into the popcorn balls and discovering the Pop Rocks inside!

Firecracker Popcorn Balls Recipe

Side note: my kids LOVE Pop Rocks. We go to this local ice cream place and for years the only ice cream any of them would get was vanilla mixed with Pop Rocks. I guess there’s something fun about having your tongue fizzle while you eat, right?

Firecracker Popcorn Balls Recipe

Here’s how easy these popcorn balls are to make! Where would you like to take these treats?

We’ve had a brief spring “preview” here in Maryland, and I’m eager and excited for the weather to warm up more permanently.

But more than anything else, I’m eager for our house renovations to be done so that I can get back to cooking regularly. I’m hoping that this long break from cooking and doing dishes will make me appreciate the ability to cook even more!

This week, my fellow Delicious Dishes hostesses and I decided to feature recipes using ground beef. Ground beef is one of the easiest and most versatile starting points for dinner, and I almost always have some ground beef on hand. What about you?

I was gone most of the day Monday preparing for today.

Somehow this ordinary Tuesday turned into the day that we’re adopting a kitten.

A year and a half ago, we were a family without pets. Now we’re all in.

I have a very happy 15-year-old girl living down the hall from me.
