More Summer Snacks!

With long summer days and warm nights, it seems like the phrase "I want a snack please!" is a never ending, ever repeating sing-song loop playing in my head and in my kitchen! I'm sure they pause sometimes. I'm sure my little boys don't say it over and over and over again. But it sure feels like it.

In honor of snack attacks and cookie monsters everywhere (and in the spirit of being kind to other mommies like me) here's a short list of just a few of the yummy recipes to try from Alicia's.

Peanut Butter Bars

Banana Pancakes

Savory Super Bowl Fixins!

In honor of Super Bowl XLVI, I have put together some dishes I think you will enjoy not just on Sunday, but anytime!  Whether you are entertaining a crowd during the game or just want to make something a little different, these recipes will not disappoint.

Crock Pot Cafe Rio Beef

Doesn't that Cafe Rio Beef in the tortilla look tasty?  Add some fresh tomatoes, salad greens, and maybe a little bit of guacamole and you have a touchdown taco!

Fiesta Dip

And don't forget the chips and salsa...wait I mean Fiesta Dip!  Why settle for the same salsa, when you can adventure out and explore a new chip dip with Fiesta flair?

PB and Chocolate Jumbo Rice Krispie Treats

Okay so this one breaks off from the Mexican Food theme we had going, but can you blame me?  I had to leave you with something sweet and delicious to complete your Super Bowl Sunday Spread!

Enjoy! Remember, we love feedback and photos!

Let The Baking Begin!

On your mark, get set...BAKE!  It's hard to believe that Christmas Day is just around the corner. (Like 3 weeks, 5 days and 21 hours, but who's counting?)  It's tradition in my family to give the gift of sweets.  As we get older and start to produce families of our own, it gets more costly to give store bought gifts.  So...we improvise and BAKE!  We give fudge, cookies, candies and high dentist bills!  Seriously, there are some awesome Christmas Goodie Recipes over at Aliciasrecipes.com FREE FOR YOU to sample!

Please submit a picture of your results to our site.  We love to see what's shakin' and bakin' at your home!
