*SIGH* I just heart you all! You, my blog friends, make my world (and my husband and my coworkers and my friends worlds) soooo much yummier! I’m a huge advocate of finding new recipes to concoct. There’s nothing more boring than eating the same foods over and over again (trust me, that was totally me a few years ago). So yes, I scour books, magazines, allrecipes.com, other online recipe websites, but what I really love trying is my BLOG FRIENDS’ RECIPES! Why do I love trying your recipes, because I totally and completely trust you, your expertise and opinions! 🙂 Can I get “Awww”?!? So here’s just a few of the things I’ve made recently…
1) Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread by
I didn’t get to take a picture of the one I made, but let me tell you, it was gobbled up by my coworkers in a matter of minutes! This picture is taken from Chelsea’s blog, she has some very unique and delicious recipes on there all the time, so you must follow her if you love food!

2) Fresh Corn and Avocado Salad by Happiness Is…

3) German Pancakes by
first seen on
I changed things up a bit and baked the pancakes in mini muffin tins. As for topping I used:
a) maple syrup and powdered sugar b) peanut butter and honey c) strawberry jam

4) Beanless Chili Cheese Dip by Much Love Illy
One day I sent out a twitter message asking for a good appetizer recipe and this is what I got back from Ilene @muchloveilly: beanless chili at the bottom of a pan, cream cheese, and LOTS of cheese. bake for 250 degrees, 7-9 min. absolute heaven!

5) Cake Mix Ice Cream Sandwiches by Small Burst
Took this picture right before freezing! My husband’s favorite flavor of ice cream is mint chocolate chip so he was very pleased with this treat! We still have some frozen ones in our freezer! 🙂

Thanks again to Chelsea, Shannon, Dee Dee, Megan + Kristin, Ilene and Gena for sharing these recipes! Hope that the rest of you get to try out these recipes sometime!
Mmm, I absolutely have to try the bean less chili – for some reason, I’ve always hated beans. Love that picture of your ice cream sandwich! Looks perfect and delicious!
Extreme yumminess! We have fresh corn today so I’m going to rock that salad. Thanks for the recipe!

I really like the idea of making the German Pancakes smaller — will have to try that!
I make the corn and avocado salad too, but usually I add in equal parts of corn, tomatoes, and avocado, as well as one jalapeno to give it a little kick. Any smallish tomato (like cherry, grape, etc) will do and I guess a lil less avocado is okay too! I usually eat mine with tacos instead of using salsa, or chopping up tomatoes.
mmm, great idea. the ice cream sandwiches look delicious and simple. and the corn and avocado salad looks so delicious….!
Sean and I love mint chocolate chip ice cream too! 🙂
These look yummy.
ooo! i love mint ice cream too.
i wish i had more motivation to cook
and make delicious-looking treats like yours!
i’m going to have to get in touch with my inner paula deen sometime.
