BLT Salad bites are my answer for not having all fried food or heavy carb laden appetizers for a party.  A cold Crisp lettuce wedge with bacon, tomatoes and a drizzle of homemade blue cheese dressing can be put together in 15 minutes.  …

Easy Fajita Bite Appetizers are a simple appetizer that you can make for any occasion, whether it be an appetizer for last minute company or a light dinner on hot summer nights.  I made these last weekend when we had some company staying with us.

We had grilled steak the night before and had a big juicy rib-eye left over sitting in the fridge.  (I know, how did that happen… we had someone have to leave unexpectedly.).   We’d been touring the sites of Los Angeles (Hollywood Sign, Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Getty Museum) and we got home late in the day, hot, tired and hungry for something ASAP.  While I was making these I sipped on the beer Estrella Jalisco that Im proud to be working with to bring you this post….

I completely forgot about this recipe for Loaded Breakfast cups.  I originally wrote this way back in May for a fellow blogger who was on maternity leave.  But you know how it is with summer and the start of fall….. you get busy and sometimes let a few things slide.  I remembered it this morning when I was planning what I was going to take to party to watch some football this weekend….

Bacon Potato Nests.  I know, another bacon recipe…. but what can I say?  Whenever I post a recipe with bacon in it, it goes over really well.  And it is BACON?  Anything with Bacon usually steals my heart!

I love this recipe for Bacon Potato Nests.   Like most people Im really watching what I eat ~ translation: summer is coming and I am trying to drop a few pounds!  I’m trying to get back to being healthier/lighter and find when I eat less carbs but still get great flavor I actually stick with a healthy plan.
