Hot Green Chili and Artichoke Dip
In college I was always the girl that wanted to throw fun parties. Usually they were themed, but usually about every month my friends and I would host a party. We had gourmet build-your-own-pizza parties, all-white parties, Halloween parties, "dip yourselves in pink" parties, etc. We usually provided all of the food, and usually it was finger foods and dips, so I'm ALWAYS on the look out for some good party foods. This hot artichoke dip has always been one of my favorites. Made In . . .
Parmesan Crusted Tilapia
I did not grow up on the coast, instead- smack dab in the middle of the country. I did not grow up on crab legs and lobster fresh from the shore, just the occasional costco salmon. SO, with that being said, I'm not the biggest seafood eater. I tell you this,to convince you, because there are MANY of you who do not like fish, or many of you who may like it but do not want to prepare it. IF you fall in any of those categories- this meal is a great starter fish meal for you. Tilapia is very mild . . .

Lightroom Magic- calling all photographers!
I discovered Two Loves Studio a while ago and fell in love with her photography, her style and the down-to-earth feeling her feed had. Despite being an incredible photographer she is also kind and welcoming in her instagram. I signed up for her emails- which were incredibly informed and soon she created this incredible course called Lightroom Magic. I immediately signed up for the course. Not only is it completely affordable but its SO GOOD. I know "so good" doesn't hardly even . . .
Sweet n Sour Chicken
This is legit the best sweet n sour chicken recipe! It was put on this blog many years ago and I've made it countless times all these years. My husband requests it often and my kids gobble it all down. I know you will feel the same. The sauce is perfect, not too sweet and not to tangy.

Disneyland Bengal BBQ Copycat – Sweet & Sour Kabobs and Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
When Des and I went to Disneyland last month one of our FAVORITE things we ate were the skewers at Bengal BBQ. Bengal BBQ is located right across from the Tiki Room and they serve the most delicious and fresh food. Let me tell you, it is such a welcomed treat after eating churros, corn dogs, and ice cream cones. I knew right away that I needed to re-create this at home. At the park we ordered Chieftain Chicken Skewer and the Safari Skewer. The Chieftan Chicken Skewer is a simple . . .
