Bacon Barbecued Chicken Kebabs

July 30, 2011 0 comments

Looking at these grilled chicken kebabs you’d never guess that bacon comes into play. But since I had practically a whole package of bacon left from the grilled cheese and bacon potatoes, I decided to try this unique chicken kebab recipe. And actually the way you prepare the bacon was quite weird to me. I’ve never heard of making a paste with bacon before but what the heck, I thought I’d give it a try. [...]

Cheese and Bacon Grilled Potatoes

July 29, 2011 2 comments

I’d say that any recipe that starts with cheese and bacon has got to be a hit. And these grilled potatoes are no exception. They were amazing! Perfectly cooked and the bacon, cheese and butter gives them fabulous flavor. If you’ve ever been to the Texas Roadhouse restaurant, their “cheese fries” appetizer is one of our favorites. These potatoes tasted just like them! They have just about the same exact taste except theirs are made [...]

Homemade Cake Batter Ice Cream

Anyone who’s never tasted cake batter ice cream can’t begin to imagine what they’re missing. It’s a delicious vanilla flavor ten steps above plain old vanilla. And just like the name describes, it has a vanilla cake flavor to it also. Over the years I’ve tried quite a few different brands of ice cream in this flavor. Most of them have been good but nothing compares to this homemade recipe. I don’t know why it [...]

A little less than a month ago, Urban Decay unveiled their new 15th anniversary eyeshadow collection. This eyeshadow palette consists of 15 brand new, never seen before eyeshadow colors. Once it debuted on the internet, they went like hotcakes. In a matter of just a few hours, Urban Decay’s website was sold out! I was one of the pour souls left crying in the corner because I just missed getting my hands on one. I [...]

Taco Bell’s Spicy Quesadilla Sauce

July 23, 2011 9 comments

Hubs and I are huge fans of Taco Bell’s chicken quesadilla. We don’t have a Taco Bell very close to us so we rarely get to have it. I’ve been making our own homemade quesadillas for a few years now but we always thought they needed something extra. The sauce on Taco Bell’s quesadillas definitely is what makes them great. I’ve always wondered how I could recreate the sauce at home. I tried a few [...]

Budget Friendly Wet n Wild Eyeshadow Trios

July 22, 2011 0 comments

Not everyone wants to spend a ton of money on their makeup. I tend to mix some high end goodies along with drugstore products as well. After all, I can’t possibly pass up a bargain. So every time I see a new trio of Wet n Wild eyeshadow that I like, I snatch them up. Cause at only $2.99 each locally, they’re a steal!

Homemade Baked Onion Rings

It’s been one of those weeks this week. Yes, it’s gone by super quick but not exactly without a hitch. I’d say it all started early Tuesday morning when I was startled awake at 6am by the water authority. Monday evening the Pittsburgh area got pummeled by horrendous storms. Luckily all the bad rain missed the area where we live but parts of Pittsburgh experienced bad flooding. And apparently our local water authority lost power [...]
