Tasty Creations Bi-Weekly Link Party No. 9

Happy Friday!  

Hope everyone has had a wonderful week!

We are on our last day of school today and then we are on SUMMER VACATION!  WOOHOO!!

I'm just a little bit excited here :)

Graduation was last night for our school and I made some fun and tasty Graduation Cupcakes that I'll be sharing later this weekend because I know most schools still have a few weeks left.

What's everyone been working on lately????

If you follow me on Instagram you'll know what I've been working on ~ CUPCAKES!!!

I have been in a crazy cupcake making mood lately and we've had one heck of a CUPCAKEPALOOZA (totally made up that word, HA!) around here.  

Well, as you can see, I'm actually on time this week with the link party!

So who's ready to Par-tay?

Here are your fabulous Most Viewed and Featured Favorites from last week

BBQ Chicken Pizza

I love pizza, don't you?

I mean I seriously love pizza!

I could probably eat pizza at least once a day for the rest of my life and be totally content.  Just ask my family.

I like only a few kinds of pizza too.  I usually order pepperoni, pineapple, and black olive but I like a good combination once in a while too.

My very favorite pizza to make at home is BBQ Chicken Pizza.  And I sure do make a mean one.

One of these days I'm going to try and grill my pizza but for now I'll just cook it in the oven :)

Coconut Lime Pie

This is probably going to be my favorite pie for the rest of my life!

I love citrus, if you didn't already know, and lime is my favorite!

Which is kind of funny because I always thought lemon was until the last year or so when I decided I'm a lime girl all the way!

And do you know what flavor goes amazingly well with lime????  Coconut!!!

I already had a recipe for Creamy Lime Bars but I wanted a pie recipe I could make too because we all love pie, right?  Nod your head and agree :)

Margarita Chicken

A couple of weeks ago I made some amazing Chipotle Marinated Steak for lunch and thought it would be great if there was some chicken to go along with the steak burritos everyone was eating.

Do you have a great chicken marinade?   I certainly didn't.

I usually think of a marinade as Teriyaki but decided my chicken needed something to go along with the steak and what better accompaniment to a Mexican dish than a margarita! 

And so, Margarita Chicken was born.

Crock Pot Ranch Beans & SRS

It's that time of the month again for our Surprise Recipe Swap.  This swap is graciously hosted by Jutta over at Hungry Little Girl.  This is a super fun swap where we are assigned a secret blog buddy and we get to stalk their blog and have fun choosing, cooking, and blogging about one of their recipes.

This month I was assigned Cynthia over at Feeding Big and I was so excited to get her blog.  Cynthia has a ton of delicious recipes and I had a hard time choosing just one. I actually printed her Cheesecake Mini's - Have it your way, Pasta Carbonara,  her Best Coffee Cake Ever and I finally decided on her Ranch Beans with Peppered Bacon.

Cinnamon Sugar Donuts

Do you love donuts?

My family loves donuts.  Most people I know love donuts.  Even my dog loves donuts (but then he eats most anything, lol)

I didn't used to love donuts.

I never really COULD eat donuts because the store bought ones ALWAYS give me a headache. I don't know why they do, but they do so I'm just not a donut eater.

But boy do I love donuts now!

Ever since I started making donuts at home; the baked kind, no more donuty headaches!  Yea me :) Boo waistline!

Last week I really had a hankering for something cinnamon sugary but the only donuts I have recipes from are my Funfetti Donuts  and my Pumpkin Spice Donuts.

So I decided to revamp my Pumpkin Spice Donuts into some Cinnamon Sugar donuts.

Tasty Creations Bi-Weekly Link Party No. 8

Happy Friday!

Hope everyone enjoyed their Mother's Day, whether you are a Mommy, daughter, granddaughter, auntie, or sister to a Mom.

I had a great day with my family at my beautiful Sister-in-law & Brothers house.  We had a back yard barbecue with volleyball and bubble blowing.

I have a been working like crazy trying to finally finish my recipe tab page and I'm about half way done.

Do you have days where all your good intentions fly out the window at the first look at Facebook, Pinterest, or just other blogs?  I seem to do this more and more each day, HA!

Who's ready to party?  I am!  I can't wait to see what you all have been working on!

I'm working on all my summer recipes for grilling and outdoor get together's.

Here are last party's top three viewed and my featured favorites.
