Rosemary and Sea Salt Sweet Potato Chips

This week’s recipe was inspired by the fact that I had one sweet potato in the fridge and I needed to use it before it went bad.  Additionally I didn’t really have much else in ways of ingredients, so I had to be crafty.  Thankfully I stumbled across this recipe that turned out pretty awesome!  Such a great way to satisfy a craving. Enjoy!

Cuban Sliders

Whenever I see Cuban sandwiches, I think of my sister.  She loves Cuban sandwiches!  A few weeks ago my Dad was in town and we found a great Cuban restaurant as we were driving around the city.  I got a little inspired and started looking up recipes.  I know this isn’t a traditional Cuban, but any sandwich in the form of a slider makes everything a little better.  This recipe is definitely a keeper and so easy.

Blueberry Greek Yogurt Cake

62 degrees and sunny…Chicagoans have their fingers and toes crossed that spring is here to stay!  After a long walk this morning (who am I kidding…probably another one this afternoon because it's so nice) I got an itch to make something I have been waiting for warmer weather to make…for some reason blueberries aren’t very ‘wintery’ to me. This is super easy to whip up…a GREAT idea for an Easter brunch or baby/bridal shower! 

Southern Buttermilk Biscuits

Southern girl, southern biscuits…do I need to say more?  I set out to try and master the art of making classic southern biscuits and this was my first try.  I think they turned out pretty darn good, but I definitely need to keep practicing.  I have learned the key is in how cold you keep the butter and dough (along with the fact that I really need a rolling pin as I don’t have one – crazy!) as well as how many layers you make (this creates the flakeyness).  I paired these up with two things…honey butter (put a little elbow grease in and mix some butter and honey – so good!) and blackberry jam.  I think I could eat biscuits everyday…did I say I was from the south?!?
