Valentine's Day Recipes Part One
Both this week and next week, I am going to be sharing a few recipes that you can use either on Valentine's Day or in the days leading up to Valentine's Day. The recipes will vary from breakfast, lunch, snacks, and desserts. Today I will be sharing three recipes. One breakfast, and two that could be considered both snacks and desserts.
(Brown) Fried Rice
Looking for a simple fried rice recipe? Give this one a try!
Key Lime Pie
Today's recipe is Key Lime Pie. It is an easy recipe consisting of only four ingredients!
Salsa Fish (with a bonus recipe!)
So Brad had this brilliant idea many months ago to make something called Salsa Fish. In his mind, he thought we should bake some tilapia that is covered in salsa. That's it. Well I had another idea in mind. So we tried both. Needless to say, his idea didn't turn out so well. First, the fish did not really absorb much of the salsa flavors. Second, while baked, the salsa slightly changed flavor itself. So it just didn't turn out quite how he expected. So below is my version of Salsa Fish. Enjoy!
Oreo Pie
Today's recipe is Oreo Pie. The Oreo Pie is super yummy and only has 6 ingredients. It's a breeze to make!
Red Pepper Chicken
Do you love using a crock pot when cooking? This recipe is perfect for you. It's really delicious and easy!
Sausage Balls

Chocolate Pretzels

Santa Hat Cupcakes
Try making these Santa Hat cupcakes during the holidays. It would be especially fun for kids!
Green Bean Casserole
While green been casserole seems like a dish everyone knows, I have found a few people that have never even tried it! Keep this recipe handy for the holiday grocery shopping!
White Chocolate Chip Cookies
The other night I wanted to bake some cookies and those that know me know I am not the best baker. I found this really easy recipe and luckily we had all the ingredients in the pantry. Below was my approach to the recipe:
Blackened Fish
Since blackened fish is so easy, I decided to also incorporate our entire meal as part of the recipe this week.
Deviled Eggs
Since The Holidays are upon us, I decided to share some deviled egg recipes. I actually have two that I am going to share. The first is a traditional deviled egg recipe. I got the recipe from The Better Homes cookbook, but made a few changes to make it more like I prefer. The second is what I call deviled eggs with bacon and onions. However, Rachael Ray calls them BLT Deviled Eggs. I found this recipe in her Big Orange Book cookbook. I left out a few things, so that is why the recipe isn't called the same thing. But her recipe was my inspiration.
Bananas with Caramel
This week's recipe comes from The Biggest Loser's Family Cookbook. Walmart carries this cookbook as do many other retailers. I don't use this cookbook enough, but it really does have some great recipes in it. I am trying to eat healthier, and after dinner one night, I was still slightly hungry. Instead of over-indulging with chips, ice cream, or chocolate, I fixed my sweet tooth with the Bananas and Caramel recipe. It is really, really simple and is fairly healthy (although you could swap out the caramel I used for some fat-free or sugar-free kinds).
