Neiman Marcus Dip

neimanmarcusdiptitle-newsize

You know those times when you completely forget that you need to make something for an event the next day? Say hello to your lifesaver. Now, I’m not sure why it’s called Neiman Marcus Dip (if anyone knows, please share it in the comments below!), but it sure is tasty.

  • 5-6 green onions chopped
  • 1 ½ cups Light Hellman’s Mayonnaise
  • 8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 oz. real bacon bits
  • ¾ cup shredded almonds

This recipe’s a snap. Just mix all the ingredients together in a medium bowl and chill at least a few hours before serving. That’s it!! I made mine the night before and it tasted less mayonnaise-y the next day.

Lucky’s Mallow Mix

Lucky's Mallow Mix

A recipe that calls for only the Lucky Charms Marshmallows?! How could I resist? Since I was little, I’ve been picking them out of the cereal box–much to the annoyance of my brother. And while I’ve tried to curb that habit, sometimes those tiny colorful sugar clouds still get the best of me. I didn’t think they could get any better, but cover them in white chocolate and pair them with some pretzels, and you have a amazing blend of sweet and salty.

Mozzarella Pepper Poppers

Low Carb Mozzarella Pepper Poppers

With our cruise coming up, Boyfriend and I have been trying to eat healthier. Most of you know that’s way easier said than done–especially when Breyer’s Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream loves to seduce me with its deliciousness. Anyway, he’s been trying to stick to a low-carb diet, but that’s made coming up with snacks a problem. Sure, he’s eaten a lot of nuts and salami, but after a few months he was craving something new. So I decided to combine two of his favorites–cheese and peppers–and came up with Mozzarella Pepper Poppers.

Best of all, they only take 3 ingredients and they’re done in 20 minutes. [Read more…]

Better than Sex Cake

With a name like that, how can you not want to try it? That’s some pretty high standards it’s got to live up to 😉 . After seeing this recipe online, it went straight to my TBB (To Be Baked) list. The caramel and chocolately goodness called to me, and my will is just not that strong. So when a family gathering came up, I knew this was the dish I had to make.

Here’s what you’ll need:
1 (18.25 ounce) box devil’s food cake mix
1/2 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
6 oz. Caramel sauce
3 (1.4 ounce) Heath Bars, chopped
1 container Cool Whip
