Raspberry Hugs Chocolate Cookies

Two Peas — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 09:56:52 +0000

I’ve always enjoyed Valentine’s Day. Not because I had a boyfriend or secret admirer to shower me with flowers, chocolate, and a candle light dinner, but I just think it is a fun holiday. In grade school, I always looked forward to making Valentine’s cards for all of my classmates at school. Valentine’s Day parties were the best! My dad always made Valentine’s Day special by spoiling me and my sister with flowers and candy-dads are always the best Valentine:) I also love all of the pink and red decorations and candy that fill the stores this time of year. The other day I was walking through the Valentine’s Day aisle and stumbled upon Hershey’s Raspberry Hugs candy. I grabbed a bag and came home to create a special Valentine’s Day cookie-Raspberry Hugs Chocolate Cookies. Yay for Valentine’s Day!

Vegetarian Quinoa Chili

Two Peas — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 08:30:43 +0000

Caleb loves this Vegetarian Quinoa Chili. No, we didn’t give him a bowl to eat, but he loves the word quinoa. I was holding Caleb when I told Josh we were having Quinoa Chili for dinner and he started laughing. I asked Caleb if he liked Quinoa Chili and he started giggling like crazy. Every time I would say quinoa, he would crack up…so of course I said it one too many times:) Now that I think of it, quinoa is kind of a funny word. I am glad my Vegetarian Quinoa Chili made Caleb so happy because it certainly made our bellies and tastebuds happy.

Caleb {4 Months Old}

Two Peas — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 08:59:07 +0000

Caleb will be 4 months old tomorrow. We can’t believe how fast the time is going. Our little guy is not so little anymore. He is already rolling over, “talking” up a storm, sleeping through the night (most of the time), and playing with his toys. He loves his blankie, helping mom at the computer, watching football with dad, bath time, making new friends, singing ’Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”, sucking on his fist, giving mama kisses, and play time.

Queso Dip

Two Peas — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 08:41:30 +0000

On Sunday we had friends over to watch the football games. I made a big pot of chili and Josh made his favorite Queso Dip. Good food and football go hand in hand at our house:) Unfortunately, Josh’s team, the 49′ers, lost, but at least his Queso Dip was a winner. This easy cheese dip is perfect game day food. You really can’t go wrong with a big bowl of melted cheese and salty tortilla chips. Mmmmm!

Chocolate Chip Salted Caramel Cookie Bars

Two Peas — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 10:12:07 +0000

Saturday was a rough day. Long story, but we have been having problems with our hosting company so we decided to switch to a new company. Well, the transition didn’t go too smoothly. We spent the majority of the weekend on the phone trying to figure things out. Sorry to anyone who tried to access our site and got an error message. We really appreciate your patience. We finally got our site up and running, but it was a stressful day. I owe Josh a huge thank you for the long hours he spent working on our site. I also owe a huge thank you to these Chocolate Chip Salted Caramel Cookie Bars. They were a lifesaver. I don’t deal well with tech issues, so I decided to bake. Baking always cheers me up, especially when the end result is a sweet and salty cookie bar.

BBQ Chicken Deluxe Pan Pizza

Two Peas — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 08:59:04 +0000

Josh loves pizza and is excited to share his all-time favorite pizza recipe with you today. When he first started making this BBQ Chicken Deluxe Pan Pizza I thought he was weird. The pizza has BBQ sauce and is topped with BBQ chicken, bacon, pineapple, and jalapeño slices. Sounded kind of odd to me, but it is always a hit. I guess Josh knows his pizza:) We host pizza parties at our house with the neighborhood kids and it is always the first pizza to go. Kids and adults love Josh’s special BBQ Chicken pizza.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Popcorn

Two Peas — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 08:07:57 +0000

We spent most of our Sunday watching football and the Golden Globes. I wanted a sweet treat, but was not in the mood to bake. Surprise, huh? I was going to make our Twix Caramel Popcorn, but didn’t have any Twix candy bars, so I made a batch of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Popcorn instead. So happy I found my stash of Reese’s:) This popcorn is divine-think caramel corn, but with a peanut butter honey coating instead of the caramel. Oh, and it gets better, I also added a drizzle of chocolate and mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups to the mix. I was in sweet treat heaven with this Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Popcorn!
