I do not know for how long this has been a trend, but lately apples have been showing up in my sandwiches... and they're delicious!
I wanted to try my hand at making such a sandwich so I gathered up ingredients I had around the home and began constructing my first sandwich with apples on it.

ONCE upon a time, I had the most incredible chocolate martini ever created.  It had a smooth, chocolate taste with a hint of irish cream and lots of delicious chocolate-flavored alcohol.  After trying several recipes and being severly disappointed with the results, I finally found a combination that is similar to that original incredible chocolate martini.  Here's hoping you also enjoy it!

I have fond memories of family pizza night. Dad used to cook up at least a pound of hamburger to mix together a variety of red sauces to form his very special pizza sauce. My sister and I would play with the flour and dough, making a huge mess but having a blast, too. My mother would run around cleaning up after us and preparing the toppings. However, in all our years of pizza making, the toppings were almost always the same: pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, and tons of cheese.

As I was getting ready to make BBQ pulled pork sandwiches for the aimClear office, I realized I needed some really good coleslaw to go on top (or as Minnesotans seem to do, to eat as a side to their super delicious sandwich).  I searched the web and was getting frustrated with the seemingly endless variations on coleslaw with no real guarantee of their tastiness when I came across a YouTube video with step-by-step instructions on how to make this amazing coleslaw.  It looked beautiful a

My husband is a fan of pulled pork and frequently requests the store bought stuff. I, preferring homemade to pre-packaged and seeing that there was a sale on pork sirloins, decided to try my hand at pulled pork; I mean, how hard could it be? Turns out, it's a lot like any other roast. Pop it in the crock pot with some onions, garlic, seasoning, and liquid for 8 hours on low and you're good to go! Now I will share my easy but delicious recipe with you!

In an attempt to be healthy, but also to try out my mini donut maker, I decided to attempt some recipes for baked donuts.

Another taco-inspired meal for you all to enjoy: taco dip! Usually I use this as an appetizer, but occasionally we do make it into more of a salad-type meal and both ways are truly fantastic. In addition to its versatility, taco dip requires few ingredients and minimal prep time!  Let's get to it...

I was searching around the internet one day for tasty desserts to serve at a party I was hosting and came across this amazing recipe from Taste of Home called "Tortilla Dessert Cups." I made some minor modifications and came out with one of the best desserts I've ever had. It kept well for about a week in my refrigerator and was low in calories to boot!

My husband and I frequent a local sandwich shop called Erbert and Gerbert's. They have unusually named sandwiches with delightful stories behind each. Mostly, though, they are just a really good sandwich shop. That being said, sometimes you don't want to pay sandwich shop prices, so I decided I would attempt my hand at one of my favorite sandwiches: The Geeter. In short, it is a chopped seafood sandwich with bacon, mayo, lettuce, and tomato. It's wonderful!

Despite growing up in an Italian home and learning many Italian recipes from my mother and grandmother, I had never learned how to make homemade Alfredo sauce.  Thus, I was stuck with the store-bought version until I picked up this particular alfredo sauce recipe from a friend of mine. It is delightfully simple, yet tasty!
