Pork Tenderloin

This recipe is one of the most fabulous marinades of all time.

I had all of the ingredients in my pantry.

Simple, not too much prep, fantastic flavor.  Can't beat it.

Andes Mint Chocolate Cake

Birthday cake at its best!!!

If I have to make my own birthday cake, you bet your bottom I'm gonna cover it in Andes mint frosting, chocolate ganache, and Fudge mint oreos.

*I used a Devil's food cake mix and mixed in crushed oreos

*I used Fudge mint oreos because they are amazing

*the frosting was a bit too sugary for my taste, but I also royally suck at making frosting

*I would definitely make this again!!!

Sweet and sour meatballs

My mom used to make these for me when I was a kid, and for some reason, I HATED them!!! Now as an adult, I love their tangy, little bit of spicy, little bit of sweet sauce.  And what makes them even better: my kids LOVE them!  I serve them over rice with a side of veggies, and they are always gone in minutes.  Super duper easy, 3 ingredients and no prep work.  You can do crock pot, or just a regular pot on low for about 20 minutes, all the way from frozen meatballs.  Done!

Sweet potato hummus

I LOVE sweet potatoes.  Mostly love hummus, and definitely love me some pita chips and Tzaziki.

So when I saw this recipe, I knew I had to try it.

I didn't follow it exactly, I left out the extra olive oil and the garlic (just impatient and hungry) and it was good!  Would have been better with all the ingredients.  But super healthy and very easy.  An interesting flavor, and I'm all about new and interesting!

Oreo poke cake

It is so cliche, but I just can't help it.  The older the get, the more I love chocolate.

And in the last few years, I've rekindled my love affair with Oreos.  I just can't resist them.

This is an awesome, easy recipe!

Very few ingredients, very little work, and totally yummmmm!

*I used chocolate pudding instead of Oreo

***Make your pudding and pour it immediately!!! It sets up super fast, so if you wait even 2 minutes, it will be gloppy and won't sink in as well.  That's what I did the first time and I let it sit for a good 8 hours before we ate it, so it wasn't a total bust, but it would have been better if I had done it ASAP.  

This recipe can go SO many ways!!! Lemon cake with lemon pudding, spice cake with butterscotch pudding, chocolate with banana, chocolate with mint, I could keep going and going!
