AIMEE'S PRETTY PALATE

Quick Fix

Around mid-year, I like to send out a blog survey asking my readers what they’d like to see more (or less) of on my website. I realize that just because I’m passionate about baking, perhaps not everyone wants to see brownies and pies all the time. Hard to believe, I know.

The results this year were a bit all over the place, but the top two contenders for new recipe ideas were “celebratory recipes” for special occasions and entertaining, slightly edged out by “30-minute meals” for busy weeknights.

With back to school barely in our rearview mirror, I can understand the need for homemade meals that are delicious and nutritious … but prepared quickly, too.

My Bacon Cheeseburger Pie is a family-friendly recipe that looks like you put forth a lot of effort, but comes together super-quick. It was a featured recipe on my QVC episode and worthy of host David Venable doing the happy dance.

For something a bit lighter, my Shrimp & Corn Salsa Lettuce Cups are a weeknight winner. Keep things calorie friendly by serving on a bed of lettuce, or serve on tortillas for a tasty Taco Tuesday.

And you know when you’re craving a homemade chocolate chip cookie, but every recipe you own produces way too many cookies, creating a dangerous snacking environment? Say no more, my friends. I have perfected a recipe for Small-Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies that not only taste fantastic (deemed by my pet sitter as so delicious she feared eating them all) but,  you guessed it, can be fixed in less than 30 minutes. A recipe that requires NO chilling and produces a controllable amount of cookies? That’s a win in my book.

This month, indulge your senses in a taste of the tropics at Sprouts with Star Fruit, Jackfruit, Dragon Fruit, Kiwi + more...without even leaving your home town! 🥝 #ad #lovesprouts

Here's how to make the Honey Yogurt Dip: 
1 cup vanilla flavored Greek yogurt 
1/4 cup honey 
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 
Whisk to combine. Serve as dressing tossed with fresh fruit, or as a dip alongside a fruit board. 🥝

I like options.

I'm not even going to complain about how cold it h I'm not even going to complain about how cold it has been in Louisiana when friends are having it so bad in Texas, but y'all... I had to pull out and dust off my Alaskan cruise clothes when we lost power earlier in the week. 🥶 We just aren't equipped down here. I've had ALL THE SOUPS on rotation including this Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle that has been on the blog forever, but got some new photos. Because if you're gonna be iced in, might as well photograph & update your recipes! I hope you are staying WARM where you are. 🥣 🐔 🥣

Hustle and heart may set you apart but Streusel To Hustle and heart may set you apart but Streusel Topped Banana Bread will get you outta bed. 🍌 🍞 🛏 High five for Friday and weekend breakfast on deck! PS: If you haven't sprinkled your streusel with turbinado sugar, you are missing out. It keeps the topping crunchy even after sealing the leftovers. 👏 🍞 👏
