Coconut Chicken with Apricot sauce

For some reason whenever I volunteer to bring food to someone, my mind instantly goes blank and I can't remember a single thing I've ever made or if anything tasted good ever.  Yes, that is why I started this blog.  But I'm still doing it.  I have a bad habit of making new recipes for guests or people I'm bringing dinner to.  I figured Coconut chicken is pretty basic, I can't screw it up too bad, so I went with this recipe.  Up until the last minute I had Pizza Hut on my speed dial, but it turned out great and so easy!  Definitely flip the chicken a few times to make sure all the coconut gets nice and crispy.  It looks a little funky, but the flavor is great. 

Bird's nest cupcakes

How cute are these guys?

The perfect EASY Easter treat.

Who doesn't like a cupcake???

Death Brownies

Actually they are called Marshmallow Reese's Brownies, but it's all pretty much the same to me

Totally ridiculously embarrassingly good.

I wish I didn't like crap like this.

But I DO.

Sigh.

Spicy Peanut Noodles

This is a recipe I got from my mom that I have made a million times and they are always a crowd pleaser.  For years at my old work, whenever we had a potluck, the sign would ALWAYS be posted in the back room with the #1 entry written by whoever made the sign-up sheet reading: Kelly, peanut noodles.  What more can a girl ask for???

1 pkg cooked spaghetti, warm or cool but drained of all water

Sauce

Chopped peanuts, cilantro, and green onion (about 1/3 cup each)

Red pepper flakes and grilled chicken optional

Sauce:

4 tbsp Sesame oil

4 tbsp honey

3 tbsp soy sauce

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

In a small saucepan, bring all sauce ingredients to a boil.  *Be careful NOT to burn the pepper flakes or you'll have to start all over!  The honey and salt and oil just need to dissolve together, then remove from heat and pour over noodles.  Add toppings.

Thai Chicken Enchiladas

This recipe is a serious KILLER.  I was a little nervous about an enchilada with no cheese, but the first bite in my mouth was serious love at first bite.  These enchiladas are packed with flavor, easy to put together, and on the healthy side.  A total keeper.  I served them with this coconut rice and used this leftover chicken.  My only change is that I used this Thai Curry Simmer Sauce from Fresh n' Easy instead of the sweet and spicy sauce.  The flavor was out of this world.

Oatmal Lemon Cream Bars

This recipe is a total crowd pleaser, and it couldn't get much easier!  Inexpensive, delicious, and a little different.  I love lemon anything, and this one was a keeper.

Coconut Lime Chicken

Totally easy marinade and tons of flavor!

We grilled ours because I doubled the recipe, but I think the pan version would be great too
