Pretzel Crusted Grilled Cheese

April 30, 2014 ·

Pretzel Crusted Grilled Cheese puts a tasty pretzel twist on everybody’s favorite childhood grilled cheese sandwich.

Throughout the month of April, we celebrated National Grilled Cheese Month with many tasty variations of the classic sandwich. While I developed a delicious Parmesan Crusted Baked Grilled Cheese, that was not the original recipe I had in mind. I wanted to make a grilled cheese with pretzels – in either the crust or the filling, it didn’t matter. Pretzel-something grilled cheese was going to happen. I tried mixing pretzels with cheese for a topping or crushed in the filling, and the results were just not satisfactory. However I am very excited to share that finally on the last day of National Grilled Cheese month I discovered the secret…and it works!…

Carrot Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese Swirl | alidaskitchen.com #recipes #SundaySupper

Carrot Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese Swirl #SundaySupper

April 20, 2014 ·

Nothing says Springtime (or Easter) quite like a carrot cake, and this Carrot Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese Swirl is no exception. The cake is a classic, moist and delicious carrot cake, and inside is a beautiful swirl of sweetened cream cheese.

I wanted to make a new carrot cake-inspired recipe this year and was deciding between waffles and this cake. Then Adam chimed in with a suggestion for carrot muffins. He claimed to have a good recipe and assured me ‘they are very easy to make.’ I was definitely intrigued by this good and easy recipe by my 4 year old, so asked how to make them. Here is his recipe:

Spicy Deviled Eggs

April 19, 2014 ·

I am a brand ambassador for MIRACLE WHIP through the Mom It Forward Blogger Network. While I am compensated for my time, all stories and opinions are my own.

Spicy Deviled Eggs are a quick, easy and delicious way to use up those decorated Easter eggs. They put a fun, tangy and spicy twist on a classic deviled egg recipe and take only 15 minutes to prepare!

As we are creating new Easter traditions with our young kids, there are certain classics that are timeless. Easter baskets, Easter egg hunts and decorating Easter eggs. I remember dying Easter eggs was always one of my favorite Easter activities as a child (after eating all of my chocolate eggs before breakfast, of course!). I also remember my grandma had the best recipe to transform those Easter eggs into something amazing. She had a quick and easy deviled egg recipe using MIRACLE WHIP (always her secret ingredient) that was an Easter classic and always a hit. These Spicy Deviled Eggs are very similar to her recipe, only they have the addition of jalapeno peppers to give a little spicy kick!

Broccoli, Cheddar & Egg Hashbrowns Cups

April 11, 2014 ·

Broccoli, Cheddar & Egg Hashbrowns Cups are shredded potatoes baked in a muffin tin and then filled with broccoli, cheddar cheese and eggs. These are a perfect addition to your Easter brunch menu!

I have been eagerly anticipating Easter for a while now – coming up with the perfect gifts for Easter baskets, planning an afternoon with the bunny and working on our Easter brunch menu. While I still have to get a couple more things for the baskets, our bunny play-date is next Saturday and the brunch menu is complete. We were missing two brunch essentials – hashbrowns and muffins. So to make our menu complete, I decided to combine the two by making muffin cups out of shredded potatoes, and then filling the cups with a cheesy, broccoli egg mixture. I headed to Walmart, picked up a bag of Ore-Ida Shredded Hash Brown Potatoes, and got straight to work! The result was a very simple to make Broccoli, Cheddar & Egg Hashbrowns Cups.

Southwestern Quinoa Egg Bake is made with a mix of vegetables, quinoa, three cheeses and seasoned bread crumbs. It takes minutes to prepare and then bakes into delicious brunch perfection!

With Easter Sunday only a few weeks away, I am working on planning our brunch menu. We always like to have something carrot cake-inspired (Carrot Cake pancakes are definitely a favorite!) We also enjoy having a savory egg bake, packed with lots vegetables and cheese. This year, I wanted to give our egg bake a southwestern twist. Then I discovered that Kraft Fresh Take has a new Southwestern Three Cheese flavor. The savory blend of garlic, cumin and red chili pepper bread crumbs along with the Colby, mozzarella and cheddar cheese sounded just perfect for this Southwestern Quinoa Egg Bake!

Broccoli Cheddar Quinoa Bites | alidaskitchen.com #recipes #glutenfree #EatA2ZRecipeChallenge.

Broccoli Cheddar Quinoa Bites #WeekdaySupper

March 27, 2014 ·

Broccoli Cheddar Quinoa Bites are bite-sized, protein-packed mini mac and cheese muffins made with quinoa, broccoli and cheddar cheese. Easy to make, great for kids! {gluten free}

While my family is generally open to most new recipes I make, as with all things ‘new’ there can be a bit of hesitation. Even though we have quinoa on a semi-regular basis, for whatever reason it is still perceived as “new.” However when combined with a favorite flavor combination (broccoli and cheddar cheese) and made into a shape that is always popular (bite-size mini muffin), all hesitation seems to disappear. Understandably so, these Broccoli Cheddar Quinoa Bites are addictive! They are like little mac and cheese bites, only made healthier with quinoa and broccoli….
