I’m going to preface this recipe by saying that I’m from Texas; I know a thing or two about tacos. We’ve been doing Taco Tuesday since we were tots—way before it was cool. I’ve eaten quite literally thousands of tacos in my life. And while I grew up on a healthy mix of crispy ground beef tacos, soft chicken tacos, tiny taquitos, and puffy tacos, I have to admit that crispy beef tacos are my favorite....

PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER I am a big fan of ham and pineapple (Ham and Pineapple Skewers anyone?). Actually I’m just a really big fan of pineapple on everything, any way I can get it: in Pineapple Crisp, Pineapple Squares, Pineapple Brown Sugar Barbecue Sauce, pineapple allthethings. Am I alone?? I came up this idea as I was laying in bed trying to fall asleep (it seems all my good ideas come when I’m supposed to be shutting off my brain but just can’t)....

When I hosted a giveaway last week, I made y’all tell me about your favorite holiday cookie. That was me secretly compiling information about which recipes to share next here on Dessert For Two. Quite a few of you said that you were looking forward to Mexican Wedding Cookies. I’m so excited to share this recipe because these are my favorite holiday cookie! Great minds think alike, you know. You might notice the cookies are um, green....

This ice cream just sort of happened one day. I peered into the fridge one day, scoping out the items that needed be used ASAP, and I stumbled upon a half liter of heavy cream that expired that day. I really hate throwing out food, and since we’ve got soooooo much extra food laying around here some days, I’ve had to get really creative with the things I freeze. I have frozen just about everything....

This recipe might feel like it’s too good to be true. Just five ingredients and 15 minutes of bake time feels too easy, right? I’m so happy to prove you wrong! The big time savings in this recipe comes from the fact that instead of crushing Oreos, mixing them with butter and extra sugar to make that traditional cheesecake crust (like we do with my no bake chocolate cheesecake), we’re just dropping a whole cookie in the bottom of a cupcake liner....

This recipe is brought to you by my maternity pants. Because they are way too stretchy and enable me to create and eat things like this. In all fairness, I made these to bring to my coworkers at the high school when I went to bring the baby for a visit. So I guess, knowing that I wouldn’t actually be left to eat these by myself, I went a little overboard....

I think I am probably the 1 millionth person posting about a basic biryani recipe I swear by.

PIN IT FOR LATER If there is one thing I can never get enough of, it’s a hot, gooey dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I swear I could just sit there and eat the whole bowl/pan/casserole dish. When the ice cream starts to get all melty…. seriously you guys. I could be persuaded to do a lot of things if a hot dessert was dangled in front of me....

I’m not trying to make you look bad, honestly. I’m willing to admit that making my dude a homemade box of chocolates with these red wine chocolate truffles is a bit of an over-achievement. But, I have a little secret up my sleeve. So, yes, I went to 3 hobby stores to find the perfect-sized heart boxes (these are from Target), and yes, I made strawberry pate de fruit. However, I only made 1 type of truffle, but I rolled them in two different coatings (one dark chocolate sprinkles, one cocoa powder), so it looks a whole lot more impressive....

Okay, mayonnaise is good. And Sriracha is good. But have you ever had them together? And with chili powder? Yeah, this Spicy Mayo is where it’s at.

So the hubs and I have been busy cleaning out the post-holiday candy cupboard. It’s been a painfully long process (do you feel me? 😉 ), but our shelves are looking cleaner (in so many senses) and we’re ready to cook healthier meals and indulge a little less. If you know me at all, you know there’s pretty much nothing that compares to my love of breakfast foods. Breakfast for breakfast, lunch or dinner — all day long, every day, sweet or savory....

I’ve been big on breakfasts lately. Anything warm that I can make the night before and re-heat in the morning is getting me through some chilly mornings. And while my coffee cake muffins have been receiving rave views (I even heard you can use vanilla yogurt with great results!), I wanted a bite of traditional coffee cake. The yeasted kind. Wait, wait! Don’t go. I need you so. I know you and yeast don’t get along....
