Mason Jar Fever: Chocolate Eclair Cake in a Jar

September 10, 2013 By Shannah Coe 8 Comments

Chocolate Eclair Cake in a Jar is a super simple dessert that requires no baking and is served in a mason jar! It is guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser and one of the easiest desserts you will ever make! It’s even easier to serve to a crowd because it’s in a jar!

Way back in the day {like before I knew what natural light for photography was}, I shared a family recipe that is always a hit: Chocolate Eclair Cake. It is one of those non-baker desserts that you literally cannot.mess.up but always pleases a crowd.

Check it out but ignore the awful pictures please {although a few of them are updated}! One problem we sometimes have with the cake is serving it so I decided to do the food version of “put a bird on it” and put it in a jar.

Ham and Swiss Lasagna Rolls

September 4, 2013 By Shannah 32 Comments

These Ham and Swiss Lasagna Rolls are filled with ham and Swiss cheese and then covered in a cheesy white sauce! The perfect holiday ham recipe idea!

Lasagna is one of those dishes that are easy to put together and always a crowd favorite! Your traditional lasagna recipe is typically filled with creamy ricotta, tomato sauce and delicious mozzarella cheese, but I decided to change it up a bit.

Bang Bang Shrimp Taco Boats

September 3, 2013 By Shannah Coe 6 Comments

I am a total sucker for Bang Bang shrimp from Bonefish Grill, so I decided to create Bang Bang Shrimp Taco Boats that I can throw together at home easily!

I live under a rock. Not really because you’ve obviously seen pictures of my house. BUT, it wasn’t until about 3-4 months ago that I had my visit to Bonefish Grill. Honestly, that visit didn’t go so well and I probably wouldn’t have gone back had I not tried the Bonefish Grill bang bang shrimp {and thanks to some very helpful managers who made up for the issues}.

#ad Eat More Chicken & Help Your School #Clip4School

August 26, 2013 By Shannah Coe 2 Comments

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client. The thoughts, opinions and desire to eat more chicken are all 100% my own.

School starts for us next week and we are so excited {well, mostly excited and maybe a little stressed over how hectic our schedules are about to become}. Even though school hasn’t even officially started, we’ve already been getting emails about different fundraising events happening to raise money for our school. Sadly, school budgets are just as tight as ever and schools are trying to do what they can to still provide a quality education for our kids. I want my kids and all of the others at her school to get the best quality education, with access to state of the art technology and fun outdoor things like a track {the school’s current project}, so I try to help in any way I possible can.

I recently stumbled upon a way I can help just by doing something I normally do…a lot: eating chicken. Yep, through the Tyson’s Back to School Project A+ program, I can earn money for our school simply by cooking dinner. Each label is worth $.24 which is awesome and higher than a lot of other programs schools typically participate in!
To help you think of new ways to eat more chicken {and get more money for your school}, I’m sharing a quick, kid-friendly recipe for chicken and black bean quesadillas. You can also check out ideas on Tyson’s Pinterest boards.

Bacon Caramelized Onion Dip with Philidelphia Cream Cheese

August 15, 2013 By Shannah Coe 36 Comments

Remember how just yesterday it was July? Yeah…me too! I feel like August is absolutely flying by! Of course, having two birthdays back to back in our house doesn’t make time slow down at all. Double birthdays means the beginning of my August is always filled with invitations, R.S.V.P.s, party decorations and of course…food. You can’t have a party without delicious food! Even though the parties are for the kids, adults get the kids there/stay for the party and so should be rewarded with a bit of grown up food too! That’s where caramelized onion dip with bacon comes in…a combination of Philadelphia cream cheese, caramelized onions and bacon makes it the ultimate parent reward for enduring a 2+ hour birthday party.

S’mores Pizza Recipe

July 30, 2013 By Shannah Coe 75 Comments

S’mores are the perfect summer treat. But, with hot temperatures, you may not always want to light a fire to make them. Or, if you are like me, you don’t really have a place to light a fire that won’t get your arrested. We were sitting around one night craving some s’mores and the recipe for s’mores pizza was born.

A Non-Bakers Dessert: Biscoff Cake Pops #BiscoffSpreadsLove

July 24, 2013 By Shannah Coe 13 Comments

I am so excited to be working with Biscoff Spreads on this recipe project. I have been compensated for this post but this the recipe and all opinions below are my own.

Baking is hard, ya’ll. There is all kinds of exact measuring and making things look pretty. It doesn’t matter how good an ugly cake tastes if it is still ugly. So, what is a non-baker like me to do when she needs to take a cake to friends?

Make cakepops instead.

Liquid Gold Cheesy Party Potatoes

July 22, 2013 By Shannah Coe 20 Comments

We have a new person that recently joined our household {don’t worry, you’ll get to know more about her later} and she is a vegetarian. You can totally tell from the recipes I share here that Mathlete and I pretty big meat eaters so I am excited for the challenge that cooking for a vegetarian will bring. One of the first things I decided to make for her was something that I knew the whole family would enjoy: cheesy party potatoes made with delicious Velveeta cheese.

The Perfect Summer Side Dish: Zucchini Carpaccio

July 10, 2013 By Shannah 12 Comments

Summertime meals call for fresh flavors and lots of produce. At our recent parent’s day out, one of the couples brought a dish I fell in love with and had to figure out to make once I got home. For me, the combination of flavors made it the absolute perfect summer side dish. I hit up the farmer’s market to make sure I got the freshest produce I could find.

Carpaccio is typically a dish that consists of raw meat that is sliced or pounded thin and served as an appetizer. I took a little different approach though and sliced zucchini extremely thin to make my carpaccio. I did keep the traditional flavors of lemon juice, olive oil and pepper though.

Comfort Food Made Easy: Grilled Ham and Cheese

July 3, 2013 By Shannah 9 Comments

I’m a Southern girl by birth. Comfort food for me is fried chicken, mashed potatoes and chocolate cake. All that stuff takes forever {and a lot of work} to make the “right” way. While I was away in Utah, we visited a place called Melt Away and the delicious grilled cheese there definitely helped erase my home sickness/missing my family.

Comfort food in a sandwich is a novel idea for me but I decided to try and recreate recipe so I had an easy go to at home.
