Hello everyone! HAPPY Tuesday, Mondays are always busy for me and i never ever seem to be able to get on my blog. Its a new week which means school starts over and i have to get through all that and get organized and then right now we have puppy classes. I hope everyday had a great Monday and is having a great Tuesday.

On Thursday we have started a tradition, either we to our friends house for dinner or they come over. Last night was our turn to host dinner. So i got creative and thanks to my auntie i made an amazing dinner and dessert! I am here today to share and YOU BETTER TRY IT!!!

Today I am linking up for Taste of Tuesday with Blissfully Miller and Let's Get Bananas. 
I can share two new recipes I have just recently made.
