There wont be any new parties linked up over there, but there are hundreds, probably thousands of recipes to browse should you need inspiration.

I wanted to thank everyone for three years of sharing your recipes here.

Famous Caramel Potatoes with Marinated Flank Steak


I don't know about you but when I heard first read the words Caramel Potatoes I was very surprised and inquisitive about just what this side dish was. I found this interesting recipe from a blog named after the dish, Caramel Potatoes. I was a bit nervous but let me tell you, these potatoes are one of the best things I've made all year.

Red onions, butter and brown sugar are caramelized in a pan, which you add (cooled) sliced red potatoes to, with a bit of rosemary. The flavor combination of these ingredients is wonderful. Many thanks to Kyra and Jocelyn at Caramel Potatoes for this recipe. The marinade for the flank steak is also from their site and can be found here. Enjoy!

Chewy M&M Cookie Bars



Chewy, cookie bar perfection. I am very picky about cookies and all matter of cookie bars. They have to have just the right chewiness, the right buttery sweet flavor. These are perfect! Cut into sticks or squares and enjoy with a glass of milk. Many thanks to Fearless Homemaker for the recipe.

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Pretzel Rods



We have been in Chocolate Dipped Pretzel heaven at my house lately. I've tried out a few really delicious recipes this week, which will be posted over the course of this month. I wanted to start with a chocolate and peanut butter version.

In the past I have tried to use regular chocolate for dipping pretzel rods and other treats, but chocolate can be quick a pain. It hardens up quickly, can get clumpy and seize up, even burn in the microwave. These days I have been completely won over by the Candiquik line of coatings. I have gotten them at Walmart in the chocolate and vanilla flavor. They melt beautifully smooth and best of all, it takes a long time for the coating to harden up when it is warm in a bowl, so you don't feel as rushed when dipping/coating your foods. 

On the flip side once you lay your dipped pretzel rods out on the parchment, it sets up within a few minutes. All around a great and tasty product to try out. I'm sure I sound like this is a sponsored post but it isn't, I just love their products.

Crab Rangoon Cups




Crab Rangoon made easy with premade Fillo cups. Serve with Chinese Hot Mustard and your favorite dipping sauce, like sweet and sour or duck sauce. If you have leftovers, they might get a bit soft so reheat in the oven and they will crisp back up nicely.

I thought these could use a teaspoon of powdered sugar, which believe it or not is a regular ingredient in a lot of crab rangoon recipes. It adds just a hint of sweetness. Many thanks to Big Red Kitchen for this recipe. I have had it pinned for the longest time and I'm really glad I tried it out. Enjoy!

Cool Cucumber Dorito Dip



This refreshing dip is great for a hot weather get together. There is a great crunch that comes from the cucumber, and a smoothness from the sour cream. Crunchy and smooth at the same time... I'm not sure how that works but it does! This dip doesn't have a ton of seasonings, just the basics of salt and pepper. If you add more please let me know what you added and how it turned out. 

I spotted this recipe at the blog My Recipe Box. Many thanks to Britni for the original recipe, which I scaled down in size quite a bit. I made the full amount of her recipe for a party and it was still more than anyone could eat, so for my adaption I made it more of a family sized portion.
