I do sort of like the cauliflower rice, now that you can buy it frozen, but that is the extent of my cauliflower impostor cooking......up to this point! My son hates cauliflower, no matter how much butter I put on it it is just not his thing. I thought I would try this more for myself and my daughter and just see if he would try it. This "rice" looks like fried rice you would get at your local Chinese restaurant, but what about the taste? I am here to tell you, you cannot tell the difference. It is truly amazing, so amazing that my son had 3 servings of it! I never told him what it was because I want to keep making it. So when they say ignorance is bliss, it certainly applies here. Make this for your veggie haters, they will gobble it right up!</i></b></span></div>

Today I was looking for something quick and easy that I could prep fast after an afternoon at the movies. I knew my son would be awake at dinner time since we were seeing a movie, so I thought he might like a slider with one of his favorite flavors, BUFFALO SAUCE! </span></span></div>

Place the cheesecake in a deep roasting pan. Pour very hot water around the
outside bottom of the cheesecake in the roasting pan, trying not to get any
water on the actual cheesecake. Fill it about a quarter of the way up. This
creates a bain-marie and helps ensure the cheesecake doesn't overcook.</span><br /><span style="background: white; color: #191919; font-size: 11.0pt;">
Once it has come to room temp - cover with aluminum foil and place in the
refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight) - to allow it to set up well.</span><br /><span style="background: white; color: #191919; font-size: 11.0pt;">
Top with chopped roasted peanuts and decorate the outside edge with halved Oreos. </span><br /><span style="background: white; color: #191919; font-size: 11.0pt;">
Allow to set in the fridge for at least 30-60 minutes before serving. </span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #191919; font-size: 11.0pt;">Combine the
crumbled Oreos and melted butter together (stirring well). Firmly press this
mixture into the bottom of lightly sprayed (with non-stick cooking spray),
9-inch springform pan. Place this pan on a large plate and then wrap the top of

<br />
<u><i><b>Cook's Note</b></i></u>: Every year, since birth - my family's tradition is to make Chex Mix of some sort during Christmas. My Nana used to make it and then my Mom, then my Dad and now me!! :) <br />
<br />
We munch on this the entire week leading up to Christmas and even a few days after (if there is any left). There are several methods to making this dish. A few include: 1) In the Microwave, 2) In the Oven and a new method is 3) In the Slow Cooker or Crock Pot. I saw this crock pot recipe on Pinterest and thought I would give it a try! I will say that its super EASY (which is wonderful if you are busy) and I could let this cook in the kitchen while I made other treats for Christmas. Give it a try - I think you will like it!<br />
<br />
<b><u><i>What You Will Need:</i></u></b><br />
3 Cups of Rice Chex<br />
3 Cups of Wheat Chex<br />
3 Cups Corn Chex<br />
3 Cups of Cheerios<br />
1 Cup of Pretzel Sticks<br />
1 Cup of Peanuts or Mixed Nuts<br />
6 Tbsp Melted Unsalted Butter<br />
1 Tbsp Seasoning Salt<br />
1/4 Cup of Worcestershire Sauce<br />
1 tsp Garlic Powder<br />
1 tsp Onion Powder<br />
6-7 Dashes of Texas Pete (or hot sauce of your choice!)<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>Directions:</u></i></b><br />
Turn Slow Cooker on High. <br />
<br />
Place all of the dry ingredients in the crock pot.<br />
<br />
Mix together Butter, Worcestershire and all remaining seasonings in a measuring cup and pour evenly on chex mix in the crock pot. Gently toss to coat and place lid on Slow Cooker. Cook for 3 hours on high, stirring thoroughly once an hour or as often as you feel needed.<br />
<br />
Since my slow cooker lid doesn't have a little hole where steam can escape, I used several paper towels (or you could use a damp kitchen towel) under the lid to catch the condensation (otherwise you will have soggy chex mix).<br />
*DISCLAIMER: It is not recommended to use paper towels under the lid due to potential fire hazard, so do this with caution or don't do it at all.<br />
<br />
When done, place Wax Paper strips on your counter top and dump the Chex Mix to allow to cool. Once cooled, store in a large container for up to 3 weeks. MINE DOES NOT LAST THAT LONG BECAUSE WE EAT IT ALL!<br />
<br />
See the chex mix here on my counter!!! It's a BEAUTIFUL Sight to see!<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><i><u>Cook's Note</u></i></b>: My mom made these cookies every Christmas, for most of my childhood and adult life. Now I am making them with my own daughter. This is a recipe that kids can help with, is fairly easy, and well worth the effort!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><i><u><br /></u></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><i><u>What You Will Need:</u></i></b> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">4 Sleeves of Regular Ritz Crackers (don't use wheat!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1 Block of Chocolate Almond Bark</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Cream Peanut Butter (I like Jiff Natural)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><u><i><b>Directions:</b></i></u> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The simple first step is to make Peanut Butter crackers and set them all out on a flat surface. I had my child make these (its simple for them to do!) while I was doing the next step. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Next melt the chocolate almond bark in a glass bowl that is microwave safe (melt chocolate according to package directions). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Set out a long stretch of wax paper on your counter. This will be where you put the chocolate covered peanut butter cookies to dry! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now you are ready to begin dipping the peanut butter crackers in the melted chocolate - one by one, using tongs to shake off the excess chocolate. </span></span><br />

<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px;">
<b><u>Cook's Note</u></b>: I kept seeing this recipe on Pinterest over and over again for several years -So I finally decided to break down this year and try it & im glad I did! It's really addictive and is perfect if you like the salty / sweet combination!</div>
<br />
<i><u><b>What you Will Need:</b></u></i><br />
1 1/2 Sleeves of Saltine Crackers<br />
1 1/4 Cup Unsalted Butter<br />
1 1/4 Cup Light Brown sugar<br />
8 oz package of Heath Toffee Bits<br />
<br />
<u><i><b>Directions:</b></i></u><br />
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px;">
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed (one with sides to it) cookie sheet with parchment paper. <br />
<br />
Put down a single layer of crackers to cover the pan.<br />
<br />
In a small saucepan, add brown sugar and butter and heat until it has all melted and begins to boil.<br />
<br />
TIP: Be EXTREMELY careful because this mixture is SUPER HOT. Once it starts to boil, let boil for 3 minutes.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px;">
After 3 minutes, carefully pour the mixture, CAREFULLY over the crackers, spreading evenly and place in the oven for 5 minutes. I screwed up and accident put half of the Heath toffee bits on before placing in the oven (but no worries here - it still tasted great!).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe6H7Gm5ho4bwAniVwOtEBeEe4R6uzeSRVhC_oKtwewB7YKA6MB7vy-PKvJLXkkJqy8mkQz5dm8ZYWTD9My8zMCoGp8FpS7-mGqTSUPr9NCyeDODPhRoMOaYvxkvBOV3OYMu8445zqZ0M/s1600/IMG_3338.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe6H7Gm5ho4bwAniVwOtEBeEe4R6uzeSRVhC_oKtwewB7YKA6MB7vy-PKvJLXkkJqy8mkQz5dm8ZYWTD9My8zMCoGp8FpS7-mGqTSUPr9NCyeDODPhRoMOaYvxkvBOV3OYMu8445zqZ0M/s400/IMG_3338.PNG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the Heath toffee bits all over The crackers while still hot. Allow to cool completely for about 30-45 minutes and then break into random pieces (similar to peppermint bark).<br />
<br />
For a fun treat - give this as a gift to neighbors in a cute tin 😉<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><i><b>What You Will Need:</b></i></u><br />
Large Bag of Jumbo Marshmallows<br />
Mini Candy Canes (as many as Marshmallows you have)<br />
2 cups Milk Chocolate Chips<br />
Crushed candy canes for coating<br />
<br />
<u><i><b>Directions</b></i></u>:<br />
Set up your station first - this will go like an assembly line and will make it very easy to do!!<br />
<br />
Large platter lined with wax paper.<br />
<br />
1 bowl for candy canes<br />
1 large bowl for marshmallows<br />
1 bowl for chocolate chips<br />
1 small bowl for crushed candy cane pieces<br />
<br />
Bowl 1: Take small candy canes out of wrappers and place in Bowl 1<br />
<br />
Bowl 2: Dump out large marshmallows into bowl 2<br />
<br />
Bowl 3: Melt your chocolate chips in the microwave, in a glass bowl, at 30 second intravels on 50% power - stirring each time in between until smooth and silky when you stir.<br />
<br />
Bowl 4: Take about 20 mini candy canes and place in a ziplock bag and hit the bag to crush candy canes with a wooden mallet or ice cream scooper (this will crush them up into tiny pieces.) pour these into a small cereal sized bowl #4.<br />
<br />
Stick candy cane into Jumbo Marshmallow.<br />
<br />
Dip each Marshmallow halfway into bowl of chocolate and then immediately dip into crushed candy pieces and set chocolate side down onto waxed paper.<br />
<br />
Let "set and dry" for about 30 minutes. After the chocolate is hardened, enjoy alone or with a nice mug of Hot Chocolate.<br />
<br />
Can be stored up to a week in large freezer bags.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Cooks Note: The last day of school is upon us and for most little ones that means parties, picnics and awards. I needed to make a quick and easy dessert for my son's school picnic and this fit the bill! After a fairly recent peanut allergic reaction, events that involve several food items from different places can be daunting. I wanted to make a snack that my son could enjoy and would keep him from being tempted by the brownies and cookies that would likely be present. This recipe is exactly like Rice Krispy Treats, but with Trix. I provides a fun and festive snack that kids will flock to. Happy Summer!</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><u><b>Cook's Note: </b></u>This is a Weight Watchers friendly recipe that I found on Pinterest. It was easy to make and delightfully tasty. I would compare it to Loaded Nachos! And who doesn't love that? I suggest you give it a try... its yummy! I have changed the recipe only slightly to fit my tastes. According to the original recipe poster <a href="http://slapdashmom.com/weight-watchers-taco-casserole/">Slap Dash Mom</a>, this is only 7 points plus per serving. Serves 6. </span></div>

<u><b>Cook's Note</b></u>: I saw this recipe on Pinterest (don't I always start that way?) and I said to myself ..."I have to make this!" Not only was this DELICIOUS, it was EASY and rather healthy (minus the crust, just don't count the crust!) There was a lot of great flavor here. The crescent rolls as the crust was interesting, but yummy! I was extremely pleased with this creation. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
This was loved by my entire family. It is unique and I will plan to make this again very soon!</div>

<br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>What you will need: </u></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 pound of Ground Turkey Breast (or ground beef)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 packet of Taco Seasoning (try to grab the low sodium packet if you can!) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3 cans of refrigerated Crescent Rolls</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 small tomato, diced (i used Roma Tomato)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 Bag of Shredded Lettuce</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 Cup of Mexican Shredded Cheese</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 Cup of Mozzarella Shredded Cheese</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 Cup of Light Sour Cream</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 package of 1/3 Less Fat Cream Cheese (room temperature)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 Avacado (diced) </div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u><br />Directions: </u></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Using a jellyroll pan, spray with non-stick cooking spray and roll out your cans of crescent rolls as the crust from edge to edge. There should be no gaps in between. Pinch the corners together and flat with a spoon if you like, to create a seal. Once all rolled out, you should have one large "pizza crust" going form edge of pan to edge of pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly brown. Remove from oven and let cool for about 10-15 minutes. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In your stand mixer (or with a hand mixer) combine the sour cream and cream cheese until whipped well together, until smooth. This will be the "pizza sauce". Set aside or chill in the fridge while your crust cools.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
While your crust is cooling, go ahead and brown the meat. Place meat in your skillet and add the packet of taco seasoning and about 1/3 cup of water. Cook according to package directions and until meat is done. Set aside.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Once crust is cooled - spread the "pizza sauce" (aka: sour cream/cream cheese mixture) on the crust, evenly. I used a large rubber spatula. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />Next, sprinkle the meat evenly over crust, then cheeses, and tomato pieces. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Stick the pizza back in the oven for about 10 minutes (at 375 degrees). Remove and top with shredded lettuce and avocados. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Cut into squares and ENJOY!</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><u><b>Cook's Notes</b></u>: I was looking on Pinterest for a Biscotti recipe and ran across this one. I have never made biscotti, so I thought I'd give it a try. This recipe is easy and just perfect and I usually change something about every single recipe and make it my own...but not this time! I will give full credit to "If You Give a Blonde A Kitchen". Her recipe is spot on and I am sharing it with you - check her out! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My first attempt at Biscotti was not visually pretty, I will have to work on my technique, but they sure did taste great! </span></div>

<u><b>What You Will Need: </b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><b><br /></b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a large glass casserole or baking dish with non-stick cooking spray (I always use Coconut Oil Cooking Spray).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In a large bowl, mix together crispy rice cereal, seasonings and cheese and set aside. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In a separate bowl place beaten eggs and dredge each chicken breast in the egg, then coat thoroughly in the cereal mixture and place each coated chicken breast into the baking dish. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Bake for 25 minutes or until crispy brown. Remove dish from oven, top the chicken with pasta sauce and sprinkle the shredded cheese across the chicken and bake for an additional 5 minutes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Serve with angel hair pasta or with a nice side salad and garlic bread. </div>

While I realize this is a departure from our normal find and test a recipe post, I felt like I had something yummy to share that does not involve cooking. A few years ago I discovered Dannon Light and Fit Pumpkin Pie yogurt. It is 80 calories, only 7 grams of sugar and has 12 grams of protein, so it is pretty good for you. Well, it tastes EXACTLY like Pumpkin Pie, I mean it is amazing stuff. (This is not a sponsored post by the way!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">While this yogurt is seasonal, and can be difficult to find, I get it at Walmart or Food Lion, it is worth the hunt. When I see it, (insert red face) I am embarrassed to say, I buy out the store's entire stock (usually around 8). While everyone else is eating yummy Fall and holiday treats, I will take my yogurt and a scoop of lite Cool Whip and have myself an 80 calorie pumpkin pie! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">This stuff is also great in smoothies with some cinnamon and milk and part of a graham cracker blended in. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Anyways, just a quick tip for some healthy holiday snacking. Enjoy your day!</span><br />

Today is the first day of fall, although, you wouldn't know it by the temperature outside (it's 80 degrees here in Virginia!). There is a hint of fall in the air and we always look forward to this time of year. It reminds us of our childhood. The anticipation of fun fall activities like apple picking, wearing sweaters, eating pumpkin flavored foods, cozy blankets, bonfires, planting mums, picking out your pumpkin, carving pumpkins, drinking apple cider, leaves changing - and these are in no particular order. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our favorite thing is decorating for fall. I have not put out Halloween decor yet, just Fall for now. We'd like to share the nooks and crannies of our home with you! Won't you join us for a tour?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />We did an "<a href="http://suburbanepicurean.blogspot.com/2015/10/autumn-home-tour.html">Autumn Home Tour</a> 1) and <a href="http://suburbanepicurean.blogspot.com/2015/10/autumn-home-tour-part-2.html">"Autumn Home Tour 2 "</a>post last fall (2015) and we loved doing that, so we thought we'd do it again this year! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The new sign that says "Happy Pumpkin Spice Season" was given to me by my best friend and co-author here. She knows me all too well! I hang it with pride and LOVE my newest fall decor. </span></span><br />

Here's a simple summer treat that I made for my daughter's birthday party - it was a real hit! You can't go wrong with this combination. They are SO EASY to make too! <br />
<br />
<h3>
What you will need: </h3>
1 Bag of Jumbo Sized Marshmallows<br />
1 bag of Hershey's Milk Chocolate Chips<br />
1 package of Graham Crackers - crushed<br />
wooden skewers<br />
<br />
<h3>
Directions: </h3>
Melt chocolate chips in a glass bowl, in 30 second increments in the microwave, until totally melted - stirring well each time. <br />
<br />
Place Graham Cracker crumbs in a shallow bowl. <br />
<br />
Place Marshmallows on a Skewer and dip each one half way into the melted chocolate - covering the bottom in chocolate - then dip the chocolate bottom into the graham cracker crumbs. <br />
<br />
Lay each chocolate/graham cracker dipped marshmallow onto a cookie sheet, covered in wax paper. Let "air dry" for about one hour to set. <br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">COOK'S NOTE: I had an apricot white chocolate scone many years ago and it was amazing. So amazing that I have craved another one ever since. I came across this recipe recently and knew I had to make them. They tasted just like I remember, and now the only problem is I want to make them all the time! Even if you are not a big scone fan, these are different, they are not dry, they are not blah, they are moist and flavorful. They will go great with tea, coffee, breakfast or a snack. Let me know what you think. ENJOY!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">COOK'S NOTE: The original name of this cake is the Ultimate Chocolate Fudge Bundt Cake and I tweaked it a little, but either name tells you that it is going to be delicious, rich, sweet, chocolatey and fattening.....just the way I like it! I mean the pictures speak for themselves, there is nothing about this recipe that I would change. I used a jar of fudge sauce as a time saver and just heated it up prior to pouring it on, but the homemade is obviously better. You can add whipped cream if you wanted, or even strawberries, but aside from that, make it, eat it, love it, repeat. ENJOY!</span><br />
