Cupcake Recipes – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #103

Lolli — Tue, 13 Feb 2018 15:34:47 +0000

Hi guys! The recipes our readers submitted last week officially have me drooling. And wouldn’t you know it….my 18-year-old daughter made a double batch of cupcakes last night for a get-together last night, so I got to smell them baking in my oven, but couldn’t eat any of them.

That’s torture.

I love cake and cupcakes, but ONLY when topped with homemade frosting. The frosting MAKES THE CAKE. Here’s my never-fail recipe (it’s an old post, but the frosting is oh-so-good!)

Fun Christmas Snacks and Treats – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #98

Lolli — Tue, 19 Dec 2017 12:00:04 +0000

We are less than a week away from Christmas. Less than a week. How did that happen?? I’m not at all ready, especially considering the fact that we’re heading to spend the holidays with out of state family in just a few days. I SHOULD be extra-prepared, but I’m not prepared at all. I need a few dozen hours added on to the next few days. Think I can manage that?

The one thing I HAVE stayed on top of this year is holiday treat-baking. You can see where my priorities are, can’t you?

Welcome Spring! Easter Dessert Recipes: Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #62

Lolli — Tue, 21 Mar 2017 11:00:07 +0000

Hi guys!

Welcome to SPRING! The weather took a turn back in the direction of winter last week, but I hear that we’re supposed to be feeling much more spring-like by the weekend. I can’t wait! I love the spring. My only complaint is allergies, but honestly I am willing to suffer if I can enjoy the sunshine, the warm without humidity, and the coming of summer!

This week, we’ve pulled together some delicious Easter and spring-inspired desserts. I love how colorful they all are! Here’s a fun Easter cupcake that I made a few years ago:

What are your favorite Easter or Spring desserts? Do you have traditional desserts that you make each year?

Light and Healthy Recipes for the New Year – Delicious Dishes

Lolli — Tue, 10 Jan 2017 12:00:04 +0000

Hi guys! It’s a full week into the New Year and I’m so excited for all that 2017 has in store. You may have seen my hints on social media that I’ll be launching my brand new LuLaRoe business (I would LOVE to have you join my VIP group. While I don’t have inventory yet, I’m going to be holding a few giveaways while I wait for my official call. Join me here!).

As the rest of the Delicious Dishes hosts and I were chatting about this week’s host favorites, we thought it would be perfect timing to feature some amazing light and healthy dishes for all of us trying to eat a little better in the New Year.

Since I’ve been stepping up my game when it comes to making better food choices, I’ve been adding salads like this one to lunch and dinner. It’s filling and delicious and so good for you!

Lolli — Tue, 20 Dec 2016 12:00:36 +0000

It’s the final countdown to Christmas! Most of the presents are bought and wrapped and under the Christmas tree. The treats are all in a big bag in my closet. I’ve made a few batches of goodies (like my world-famous caramels and Grandma’s English toffee and my son’s ever-favorite butterscotch bars).

I should feel excited and proud, but instead I just feel SO TIRED!

This week, in keeping with the timing, we’ve picked out some delicious Last-Minute Christmas Treats the whole family will enjoy! Check out these fun and festive ideas, and have a wonderful Christmas (or have a wonderful week if you don’t celebrate!).

Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #42 – Perfectly Pumpkin Recipes

Lolli — Tue, 25 Oct 2016 11:00:31 +0000

I love traveling, but at this moment, after coming home from 6 days in San Diego (with a nasty cold), I’m ready to sleep for a little while and not get on another plane for an even longer while. Maybe for the rest of the year. The right trip may persuade me to change my mind…but right now I’m happy to keep my feet on the ground and rest my head on my own pillow.

I sure do miss my mom and my nephews, though!

This week, my fellow Delicious Dishes hosts and I decided to do another feature of favorite pumpkin recipes, since you guys are sharing so many AMAZING pumpkin dishes lately! And I don’t know about you, but I can’t get enough of them!

**don’t forget to take a peek at our pumpkin recipe round up from last month!

Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #39 – Fall Favorites

Lolli — Tue, 04 Oct 2016 11:00:18 +0000

Hi guys! Last week was intense! So this 3-day weekend we just had was extra-appreciated. I loved having 3 days to sleep in. Plus, I fit in some much-needed household purging (my front room is now full of black garbage bags to take to a donation center) and my kids and husband and I had some fun tourist-at-home adventures on Monday.

I almost feel ready to tackle the rest of the week!

What have you been up to lately? Surely I’m not the only one who feels busier than ever. :)

Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #38 – Fall Comfort Food

Lolli — Tue, 27 Sep 2016 11:00:48 +0000

It is SO good to be back home (for a couple of weeks, at least) but I cannot tell you what a fabulous time I had in California last week. I got to spend one-on-one time with a couple of my favorite people (outside of my family) and I soaked up as much friend time as possible. I’ve got a handful of online friends who feel more like sisters because of the bonds we share. It doesn’t matter how long it’s been since the last time we saw each other face to face. We just get each other. It’s incredibly therapeutic to spend a week with those kinds of people!

When I got back home this weekend, fall had magically appeared in our area. We are enjoying a refreshing break from the heat that we’ve endured for the past few months, and soups and stews and baked goods are sounding good again. I think we picked the ultimate end-of-September recipe theme for this week’s party. And there were SO many delicious comfort foods to choose from last week. Be sure to check out some of our favorites below.

Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #37 – Tasty Pumpkin Recipes

Lolli — Tue, 20 Sep 2016 11:00:59 +0000

It’s another travel week for me. I just got to LA yesterday and will be heading to the red carpet premiere of Queen of Katwe tonight. I just screened the movie last night and have to say….you MUST see this movie when it comes out in theaters (opening 9/30, and in select markets on 9/23!!). It is incredible! SO inspiring and such a great message for everyone. See what else we’re up to HERE.
