Wishes and Dishes

There is nothing not to love about these cheeseburger flatbread melts and I’m excited to share them with you here.  I have made them a few times now and they are always a hit.  They kind of have a “tacos meet sloppy joes” thing going on…. they are so easy and are all made right [...]

What the heck is an icebox cake?  I know that’s what you are thinking because that’s what I was thinking when I first heard of these cakes.  Apparently, they were popular starting wayyyy back in the 1930′s and are now making a big comeback!  I guess I have been living under a rock for my [...]

There are a ridiculous number of foods I always claimed or thought I hated my whole life and then all of a sudden grew on me and now I love them.  Coconut is one of these foods.  I guess it’s true that your taste buds change with old age!  I have learned to love the [...]
