Bacon and Goat Cheese Aioli Burger with Crispy Onions

 This is one of the recipes that intrigued me and then blew my mind. 

You need to seriously try this recipe as it was so freaking good and both of my kids loved it! All of the toppings together were just incredible and it is definitely something I could get use to having on a regular basis.

Now I did cheat and not make my own crispy onions due to a lack of time and I know it would have been even better with it but I am still happy with the way they turned out.

The lemon aioli was a great change and it tasted so good on the burger!! I could make it again for sure and use it on a shrimp sandwich.

CARAMELIZED ONION AND BACON PASTA BAKE

 This is another awesome pasta recipe and I definitely have lucked out lately with the pasta recipes that I have been trying. 

This one is a little bit more time consuming due to having to caramelize the onions but still really worth the time. So I recommend planning ahead a little bit as you need to make sure you have the time! 

The sauce is a little bit different with a mayonnaise base but it was so creamy and delicious and I could have eaten the whole pot.

The bacon and caramelized onions together is so comforting and once baked it takes everything to an even higher level of awesome! 

This is another recipe that I would definitely have again!

Tropical Pineapple Scones

 I absolutely love scones! I love how easy they are to make and the combination of flavors that you can find that seem to turn into a masterpiece.

This recipe really intrigued me with the pineapple and coconut as I love coconut so much and the recipe kinda reminded me of a Pina Colada!

I followed the instructions as directed except that I didn't use a cutter and instead shaped the dough into a circle and then cut them into triangles. This was me being a little lazy and not wanting to search for the cutters.

I topped the dough with milk and then the almonds. I did also add the icing on top and they were so good and soft!

These were great and it makes me want more!

ROASTED VEGGIE TACO RECIPE

 In the spirit of Taco Tuesday which has evolved to Mexican Tuesday's at our place I saw this recipe that I really wanted to try. Recently we went out for tacos and I had a cauliflower taco which was absolutely phenomenal so I wanted to give this one a try.

I used acorn squash, zucchini and red pepper roasted in addition to the chickpeas. These tasted great roasted and I think next time I would add in some cremini mushrooms but I have to hide them as the kids don't like them. 

On top of the tacos I used feta cheese and I used a pre-made balsamic vinegar reduction which I already had.

These tacos were so amazing and I loved taking them for leftovers!

This is a recipe that I would definitely make again!
