💬 Comment RECIPE for a printable copy in your DMs

INGREDIENTS: 
1 tsp avocado oil
1 lb mild or hot Italian ground sausage
3 tsp ranch seasoning (from a ranch packet)
1 cup sour cream
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese (4 ounces freshly grated)
1 cup Colby Jack cheese (4 ounces freshly grated)
2 pie dough disks (store-bought or homemade)

INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Use a small biscuit cutter (about 2–2.5 inches) to cut out 38-40 circles from your pie dough. Place them into mini muffin tins, gently pressing down to fit.

In a skillet, heat avocado oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it up into crumbles. Cook until the sausage is browned and no longer pink. Remove from heat and drain any excess oil.

Combine the cooked sausage with 3 tsp of ranch seasoning, sour cream, and the freshly grated Monterey Jack and Colby Jack cheeses. Stir until everything is well combined.

Spoon the sausage and cheese mixture into the prepared pie crusts in the muffin tins, filling them to the top.

Bake the tartlets for 12-15 minutes or until the pie dough is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Let the tartlets cool for a minute, then carefully remove them from the muffin tins. Serve warm, and enjoy these savory bites!

📌 SAVE for an easy no bake dessert
💬 Comment RECIPE & I’ll send you a DM

INGREDIENTS:
STRAWBERRY LAYER
2 lbs fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
1/2 cup sugar
1 lemon juiced
2 tsp vanilla extract

MASCARPONE CREAM
2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
16 oz mascarpone cheese softened
2/3 cup powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract

TO ASSEMBLE
14 oz ladyfinger cookies (Savoiardi)
1/2 cup strawberry jam or preserves (optional but delicious)
Extra strawberries for topping

Prep the Strawberries:
In a large bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla. Let sit for 15-30 minutes until juicy.

Make the Mascarpone Cream:
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, gently mix mascarpone until smooth, then fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone until light and fluffy.�
Assemble the Layers:
Lightly dip each ladyfinger into the strawberry syrup (just a quick dunk, don’t soak!)��Arrange a full layer of ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish. You may need to cut some of the ladyfingers to fit.��Spread half the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.��Spoon strawberry jam swirls over the cream (optional but adds amazing flavor), then layer on the macerated strawberries, saving a few spoonfuls to serve on the side.��Repeat the layers: dipped ladyfingers, remaining mascarpone cream, and more strawberry jam swirls for decoration on top.

Chill at least 6 hours before serving, overnight is even better! Garnish with extra sliced strawberries when ready to serve.

Life lately…🤍 The past couple weeks have been ful Life lately…🤍

The past couple weeks have been full in the best way. Between kids’ sports, family time, and having my Grandma here (she’s 88 and visiting from New Jersey), I just wanted to slow down and really be present for it all.

A lot of real life, a lot of good food, and a lot of moments I didn’t want to rush through.

I’ve missed being on here and sharing with you. Easing back in this week and excited to share more 🫶🏼

INGREDIENTS 
6 cups romaine lettuce chopped (about 3 small heads)
1 small red onion, diced
2 cups frozen peas, defrosted
1 red bell pepper, chopped
7 hard boiled eggs, sliced
1 lb thick cut bacon, cooked and chopped
1 1/2 cups cheddar or colby jack cheese, freshly shredded

DRESSING
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS 
Add chopped romaine lettuce to the bottom of a trifle bowl or large glass bowl.

Layer red onion, red bell pepper, and peas around the edges so they are visible from the outside.

Press sliced eggs against the glass for a layered look. Chop the remaining eggs and add them to the center to fill it in evenly.

In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth. Spoon the dressing into the center, then gently spread it outward to seal the top.

Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the dressing, then top with chopped bacon.
