This salad was so refreshing! With warmer temperatures starting to arrive I have really been wanting all of those fresh summer flavors. I also wanted something light and this hit the spot! So easy to put together and can easily be made for a crowd!

This recipe was simple and delicious and NO BAKE! If you’re having a party you can get each part made in advance and put the little bites together just before serving! This would be great for any spring or summer get together!
INGREDIENTS
2 boxes phyllo tart shells
1 (0.9 ounce) box of sugar free instant pudding mix, cheesecake flavor
1 1/2 cup non fat milk
Fresh strawberries, chopped
Fat free Cool Whip
Note: You can use any flavor pudding and it does not have to be sugar free, it just won’t be as skinny! Also any fruit you like can be substituted as well.
These should be put together just before serving for best results
DIRECTIONS
Remove tart shells from freezer and place on a platter (or baking sheet and transfer to platter when ready to serve)
Whisk pudding and milk in medium sized bowl for one minute, let set up (3-5) minutes. Place pudding in Ziploc bag. Cut a very small part of the tip off the bag and pipe pudding into each shell. Top with a small dollop of Cool Whip. Add your chopped fruit to the top.
Enjoy!

This recipe just rocked my breakfast world!!! I have made omelettes before but they never, ever come out as pretty as they do at any restaurant! I think I am just not patient enough to let the egg set up before I continue with the recipe! This is the reason I am also NOT a baker! This is fantastic any day of the week but perfect for any brunch, Easter breakfast or any holiday! You could easily make more than one batch at a time to feed a crowd! I promise, you are going to love this. If I can do it and make it look this pretty…you can too!
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup of milk ( I used 1%)
1/4 cup flour
6 eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any you like)
Your favorite omelette toppings
I used leftover steak and roasted vegetables from dinner the night before, but you can add what you like. Ham and Swiss cheese would be great after Easter dinner! Bacon, sausage, ham, tomatoes, onions, peppers, spinach, etc.! I also topped mine with sour cream and salsa!
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium size bowl beat together milk and flour until well combined. Add the eggs, salt, pepper and beat until well blended. Pour the egg mixture into a greased 9 x 13 glass baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6-7 minutes. The layer of eggs should be fully cooked…no runny spots. Top the egg with the 1 cup of cheese and your favorite toppings. Return to the oven for 1 minute or until cheese is melted. Remove from oven and use a rubber spatula to loosen the sides. You can roll it from the long side or the shorter side depending on how big you want the rolls to be. Roll up and slice into indivisual servings. Serve warm.
Enjoy!

I first had these delicious bites a number of years ago when a close friend gave them to us for the holidays. I am not sure what reminded me of them this week but as soon as I thought about them, I went to the kitchen to whip up a batch! Great for any party or get together and you can make as big or small of a batch as you like. I like to buy the Ghiradelli bag of chocolate so I can use as much or as little as I like and reseal the bag for later!
INGREDIENTS
Round buttery crackers such as Ritz
Your favorite peanut butter (I used creamy Jiff)
melting chocolate
any decorations you might like to add on top
DIRECTIONS
Start by making peanut butter crackers. Simply spread a small amount of peanut butter in between two crackers and set aside. When you have the desired number of crackers set aside you are going to want to place a cooling rack over a baking sheet and spray with non-stick baking spray. Melt your chocolate until smooth and creamy. Dip the crackers in the chocolate one at a time covering the entire peanut butter crackers. Let the excess chocolate drip off and place on the cooling rack. Decorate with any small decorations you may be using and continue until all of the crackers are covered. Cool in the fridge until chocolate is set. Remove from fridge and serve or place in clear bags to give as a gift!

This cinnamon chip bundt cake became an instant favorite of both Robby and Mr. MCYM! I liked it, but I am not a HUGE fan of cinnamon BUT let me tell you these two boys devoured this cake.

I know they will be asking for this again soon and thankfully it is super easy to make!
