You guys know this by now that regardless of the fact that I am a food blogger, I am not a baker. I do not like baking, I don't enjoy it, and I try to bake as little as possible. However, I am the biggest pumpkin bread fan alive, so I do what I can to make pumpkin bread happen, with as little effort as possible.

As if this recipe needs any kind of description.

If this were on the menu, anywhere, ever, you can bet I'm ordering it. Caesar salad is my favorite thing ever. Except when we were in Tahiti and they put the biggest sardines I've ever seen right on top of my salad and I almost passed out. That's a hard no. But any other Caesar salad, or Caesar salad anything, heck yes.

If you know me at all, you know Perfect Bars used to be one of my very favorite things. They still are, but I cut back on buying them because of how expensive they are. They also tend to be pretty high in fat and sugar, which is of course okay sometimes, just not necessarily at the rate I was eating them.

I could probably copy and paste the intros to all of these recipes at this point. Let's be real, all my recipes start out the same. I find a recipe I like / a food I like, and I figure out how to cut down on the number of ingredients, and the steps it takes to make the recipe.

There are a couple of reasons this recipe ever came to be, so I'll start with the first.

Years ago, I went to Bonefish Grill for the first time. If you're unfamiliar with Bonefish, they're famous for their "bang bang shrimp". People rave about bang bang shrimp, but unfortunately, I don't eat shrimp, or like it at all. It's a texture thing, I've tried it no less than 100 times. It's not for me.

If you guys know me at all, you know cookie dough anything is my jam. But what's better than cookie dough? Cookie dough with protein. Who doesn't want their favorite treat jam packed with protein, am I right?

I have been so, so excited to share this recipe because I feel like they are summer in protein ball form! I know you guys have been anxious about this one so I tried to crank it out as quickly as possible. These guys are bursting with the most fresh key lime flavor, and each protein ball is packed with 8g of vanilla protein!

I was so excited to see how many of you were so excited about this recipe! To be fully transparent, I've been in somewhat of a recipe rut lately. My life is in it's busiest season right now so I'm kind of just going through the motions when it comes to being in the kitchen.

I am a broken record. Every single time I start a new blog post my first inclination is to start with something about how this is my new favorite recipe. But I'm never lying!

Pizza has always been my favorite thing, always. It's my favorite food, it always sounds good, I'm nearly always craving it. However, if I ate pizza at the rate I was craving pizza, it wouldn't be a good situation.

Yall have spoken, loud and clear! So many of you quickly grew to love the cookie dough dip, but realized very quickly how insanely addictive it can be. It can be dangerous if you're not sharing it with friends and family!

Would you believe me if I told you I'd never cooked beef before? Truthfully, anything other than chicken or salmon is just foreign to me. I don't know why, I've just always thought it was super complicated. Now I'm kicking myself for waiting all these years to try it on my own. It was just as easy as anything else I've ever made!

What could be a more perfect treat for Valentine’s Day than “KISS” cookies? Unless you count those awful conversation hearts, there isn’t a more iconic candy for the holiday than Hershey’s kisses! And add a few drops of red food coloring to the batter and your Valentine will be so impressed!

This recipe ties as my favorite with the cookie dough dip when it comes to party appetizers. The fact that I would classify puppy chow and cookie dough dip as an appetizer says a lot about my sugar addiction but that's neither here nor there.

Lasagna. You love to eat it, hate to make it! For real. It takes forever, it's daunting to me, too many ingredients, way too much time, all the things I hate about cooking. Real true Italian style lasagna just requires more time and patience than I have when it comes to cooking.

Burger salads have been a favorite of mine for years now. Mainly because they're high in protein, they're quick and easy to make, and they do not lack in the flavor department. Basically, you're eating fast food at home, the macro friendly (and cheap) way! Who doesn't love that!?
