Simple Desserts, Treats and Everyday Recipes
Tangy rhubarb sauce made with strawberry jello is a favorite old fashioned rhubarb treat. Serve it over ice cream or eat it in a bowl just like you would applesauce.
Day 2 of Rhubarb Week. Old fashioned rhubarb sauce. This was one of my great grandma’s recipes and true to her style, her original recipe read like this, “Add just enough water so rhubarb doesn’t stick while cooking. Add sugar to taste and jello to thicken.” No amount on the ingredients just basic instructions.

My family’s Easy Homemade Blueberry Pie Filling Recipe. We use the recipe for just about everything but pie. We love it on, no bake cheesecake, blueberry pie bars and it’s even our favorite blueberry pancake topping.
Happy Monday everyone! I’m just popping in here quick with an easy homemade blueberry pie filling recipe. I’m posting two recipes later this week that will use it so stay tuned for those, but I wanted the basic recipe to have it’s own post so it’s easy to refer back to later.

This healthy Dijon Vinaigrette recipe is tangy, flavorful and has no added sugar.
I hope you all had a great weekend! Tyler and I had the chance to get away for a bit last weekend. It was good to escape the snowy weather and remember that spring will be here soon. (Who expects five inches of snow the first day of spring?!?!?) After work on Friday, we road tripped through Delaware, Maryland and across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The bridge is about 24 miles worth of tunnels and bridge and makes for a fun drive.

I’m going to interrupt the normal fall schedule of pumpkin and chocolate recipes and bring you these Spinach and Artichoke Bagels. They are mini bagels with the traditional hot spinach and artichoke dip baked on top. (Don’t worry, there’s much more pumpkin and chocolate coming!) But I’m absolutely in love with these little guys for a variety of reasons: First, because spinach and artichoke dip is one of my favorites (Who can resist all those gooey, cheesy flavors?). Plus, there is spinach in it, so I don’t have to feel guilty, right?…
Lately I have posted a lot of sinfully delicious recipes. Cookie Dough Brownies, Key Lime Pie Cupcakes and Peanut Butter Cookie Milkshakes are great, but I promise I do make and eat healthier things too! This hummus is a new favorite! I’ve been wanting a savory snack to bring to work that can add a little flare to carrots in my lunch and have experimented with a few different types of hummus, and this latest one is delicious! Thick and creamy, with a slight sweetness from the caramelized onions and balsamic vinegar, it’s fancy enough for a weekend appetizer as well. But I could eat it every day of the week.

This has been a great week. I found out I passed my last section of the CPA exam and got a good job offer, and its only Wednesday. Another victory of the week was this salted caramel sauce. So much creamy, caramely, sugary, salty goodness. Salted Caramel is the “in” thing right now, and in my opinion, for good reason. The extra saltiness cuts through the extra sweetness of the caramel, making it a great contrast to what other sweet item it may be paired with. Unfortunately, it doesn’t cut the calories. But who cares anyway, especially when you pair the caramel with a sweet vanilla ice cream or a rich, velvety chocolate cupcake.
