Pumpkin Pie Pancakes With Spiced Whipped Cream is your favorite dessert for breakfast!
A few nights ago when my kiddos and I were setting up our Christmas tree, I wanted to make something fun, but still easy for dinner. What could be more fun then Breakfast-for-Dinner?

The Classic Cosmopolitan. Oh how I ADORE you!

Insane Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas are packed with flavor and easy to make!
Insanely delicious pork carnitas slow cooked with beer, smokey chipotles, and spices until it’s so juicy and tender, it just falls apart. Lightly shredded with a fork, it’s the perfect carnitas for any Mexican dish. I truly mean that. I’ve used this recipe for tacos, nachos, burritos, quesadillas, and salads. It’s an official family favorite. Even my picky red headed 5 year old will eat it up.

Party Pico de Gallo is a flavor packed party in a bowl!
My Party Pico de Gallo is a condiment. At least in my house. By that, I mean we use it on everything. I mean, literally, everything! My hubby puts it on his eggs. The kids eat it with chips as an after school snack. We put it on tacos, nachos, burritos, in dips, on sandwiches… The list is kind of endless.

This ultimate comfort food will make your home smell so good, everyone will be asking when it will be ready. I know my crew did!

Chicken Satay – It’s What’s For Dinner!
Dinner you say? Isn’t Chicken Satay an appetizer at a Thai restaurant?
Why, yes. Yes it is. It’s also one of my husband’s favorite dishes! When asked what he would like for his birthday meal, this has been his answer two years running. So how do you have your favorite appetizer for dinner? You turn it into an entree!
Satay is simply a grilled, marinated meat that is very common through out southeast Asia. It is usually served on a skewer with a peanut dipping sauce and sometimes a cucumber and onion salad.
What makes it so special is that it just explodes with complementary flavors and textures. The meat is first marinated in a coconut and curry mixture and then grilled to perfection. The peanut sauce is creamy and slightly sweet with a hint of salty heat and a light crunch. The cool texture of the cucumbers and onions adds a crunchy bite of sweet heat that enhances every mouthful.

This recipe is my absolute favorite, no fail, go-to for one of my favorite cold weather treats. Ok, a little honesty, I’m sort of obsessed with pumpkin as my kids will attest and I make this year round, but hey…The cooler weather is an just an excuse to make it more often, right?
