We've been on a small hiatus from blogging (just 3 years, 6 months, and 4 days - but who's counting?!), so we decided to jump back into it with something easy. And sweet. And chocolatey.<br>
<br>
Homemade Chocolate Syrup. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Seriously, who doesn't love chocolate syrup? Using it to drench your ice cream, stirring way too much into a cold glass of milk, standing at the fridge door pouring it into your mouth - whatever cranks your tractor, you know how to use this stuff. </div>

(January 20-22)<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The infamous 2,000 horsepower engines are revving up again and ready to roar full throttle back into the Central Valley as the Monster Jam® Triple Threat Series™ presented by AMSOIL, the most adrenaline charged motorsports experience for families on the planet, makes the first-ever motorsports event appearance in Sacramento’s new downtown venue, Golden 1 Center, for three action-packed events from Friday, <b>January 20th - Sunday, January 22nd</b>.</i></div>

<br />
The Monster Jam Triple Threat Series presented by AMSOIL can only be seen in select cities across the country and features the most extreme athletes of Monster Jam competing against one another in a points-based format that showcases the best lineup of Monster Jam vehicles to deliver what fans want to see most - more trucks, more racing, more freestyle, more donuts, more wheelies, more action! <br />
<br />
Unlike any other Monster Jam event, the Monster Jam Triple Threat Series is the definitive test of endurance, versatility and driving skills that showcases these premiere athletes as they go head-to-head in seven unique endurance competitions driving three different vehicles: Monster Jam trucks, Monster Jam Speedsters and Monster Jam ATVs; ultimately battling for points in both racing and freestyle events that push themselves and their machines to the limit. <br />

<br />
To me, the best part of the holiday season is traditions. One of our favorite traditions is decorating Christmas Cookies with family. Our family loves to get everybody together for a day of sweet holiday cheer and a bit of relaxation before the big day of Christmas arrives. We have such a good time with this tradition that I wanted to share it with you, and show you how easy it is to put together. <br />
<br />
My goal every year is to keep it as simple as possible - this is to be a day of fun and relaxation. There is enough stress around Christmastime that we don't need to add any more if possible. The basics that you'll need: <i>sugar cookies, frosting, cookie sprinkles, plates, napkins</i>. Simple enough, right? We also buy <i>beverages</i> and either make a big pot of chili or do a potluck for <i>food </i>to enjoy during the afternoon. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip_p6F10h9_My-PKXA2EyxOc0JWY2rEG-Gb2J-rCtjrxAq_41AgaoSYBEpo6zsR6Rbc8wo1XvJn3Zb7tl3KVS-_fjwaMKGaqLPaEY7YOG_9tBdFgDATv8K7sEZr9Zs_SSqB6xef0jk4pEM/s1600/IMG_3527.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip_p6F10h9_My-PKXA2EyxOc0JWY2rEG-Gb2J-rCtjrxAq_41AgaoSYBEpo6zsR6Rbc8wo1XvJn3Zb7tl3KVS-_fjwaMKGaqLPaEY7YOG_9tBdFgDATv8K7sEZr9Zs_SSqB6xef0jk4pEM/s1600/IMG_3527.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
I also do a <i>plastic tablecloth, paper plates</i> and <i>paper napkins</i>, and <i>plastic bowls</i> for frosting and sprinkles. At the end of cookie decorating, we leave all of the disposable on the table and just wrap up the tablecloth to be thrown in the garbage. This year I found <i>plastic spoons</i> for the frosting and sprinkles, which made clean-up that much easier. <br />

I found these adorable Coca-Cola bottles at Safeway that I just had to grab for the occasion. Dear ol' Santa Claus is on each bottle, and they are glass bottles at that! Plus, when I bought 4 6-packs at Safeway I received a coupon at the register for $20 off at <a href="http://cbi.as/6hmkb" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Shutterfly</a>. (participating Coca-Cola products include Gold Peak 590z and 64oz, Coca-Cola 8oz 6pk glass bottles, Sprite and Sprite Cranberry 2Liter and Minute Maid Concentrate or Pure Squeezed 59oz) How cool is that? I am going to use the pictures from our Cookie Decorating party to make a Shutterfly book for a gift to the grandparents in the family. Seriously, there is nothing that grandparents love more than photos of their family in a time of togetherness.<br />

We set the table with the plates and napkins as if we are going to be enjoying a meal, place the cookies and decorations in the middle so that every one can reach them - and we are off to the races! The dining room is always filled with hapiness - lots of giggles and a lot of "look at this!" from the kiddos. The afternoon is truly about spending time together and is absolutely a favorite tradition in our family. <br />

And last, but certainly not least - make sure to buy some <i>take-home containers</i> that family can take their delicious creations home in.

When looking for new dinner ideas I am always searching for meals that are <i>ready in 30 minutes or less</i>. After a long day, the last thing I want to do is spend all evening in the kitchen preparing a meal. I'd rather be spending quality time with my family, or relaxing and reading a book - not on my feet, turning my kitchen into a disaster area to be cleaned up after dinner. I recently discovered Smithfield® Marinated Fresh Pork at Safeway, which is a delicious time-saver and <i>perfect for any night of the week</i>. Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork comes in a variety of flavors and cuts, plus they can be grilled, roasted or sautéed - so versatile and absolutely delicious! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiyNSSiPZTlDEE6FyoZBhK4FbZkiiYMe-RLiYEP4_qls0MVb_KWQb9epk19kPwgqWdqCY5vYmVj-Ms7VZv-GGVAtBymvzI0XN9gdSb8Aa3FEQlX6c4Eavud-F4YDO5_1OeotRoX0jpTo7t/s1600/IMG_3207.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiyNSSiPZTlDEE6FyoZBhK4FbZkiiYMe-RLiYEP4_qls0MVb_KWQb9epk19kPwgqWdqCY5vYmVj-Ms7VZv-GGVAtBymvzI0XN9gdSb8Aa3FEQlX6c4Eavud-F4YDO5_1OeotRoX0jpTo7t/s1600/IMG_3207.jpg" /></a></div><br />
For an incredibly easy dinner, cook up a Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork, slice it and serve with a couple easy side dishes. Since the pork takes 30 minutes to cook, you'll have plenty of time to whip up some delicious accompaniments. Some of my favorites are steamed veggies, bagged salads, buttered pasta, boiled root vegetables, rice or canned baked beans - all can be prepared by the time the meat is ready to be sliced and served. So easy and practically effortless, not to mention the minimal mess to be cleaned up afterwards. We're talking <i>Real Flavor, Real Fast</i>.<br />
<br />
Or, if you want to put in just a little bit more effort - Smithfield has a large seletion of <a href="http://www.smithfield.com/meal-ideas/real-flavor-real-fast/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">mouth-watering recipes</a> {still 30 minutes or less} to check out on their site. With the variety of flavors and cuts the marinated pork is available in, the dinner options are endless! They have flavors like Applewood Smoked Bacon Pork Filet, Steakhouse Mushroom Pork Loin Filet, Slow Roasted Golden Rotisserie Flavor Pork Tenderloin, and Roasted Garlic & Herb Pork Loin Filet.<br />

Everyone in our family is a sandwich lover, so I decided to make easy and flavorful <b>Southwest Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches</b> as a simple weeknight dinner. While the Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork Tenderloin was roasting in the oven I prepared a homemade pico de gallo and guacamole - but those ingredients can be purchased pre-made, saving even more of your time. I found all the ingredients for these sandwiches at Safeway while picking up the Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork - including the soft Kaiser Rolls, from their bakery department.<br />

1 Smithfield Marinated Roasted Garlic & Herb Pork Loin Filet<br />
6 Kaiser Rolls<br />
1 cup guacamole<br />
1 cup pico de gallo salsa<br />
6 deli slices pepper jack cheese<br />
<u><b>Directions</b></u><br />
1. Heat oven to 425. Place Smithfield Marinated Roasted Garlic & Herb Pork Loin Filet on foil-lined baking sheet; roast for 25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 150 degrees. {This is the perfect time to prepare the guacamole and pico de gallo if you are making them from scratch!}<br />
2. Slice pork into thin slices. Divide into 6 portions. <br />
3. Prepare each sandwich in the following order; Kaiser Roll bottom, guacamole, pork slices, pepper jack cheese, pico de gallo, Kaiser Roll top. {To make cheese extra melty, place under broiler before adding the pico de gallo.}<br />
4. Enjoy!!<br />

These <b>Spicy Shrimp with Sweet Grapefruit Glaze</b> are easy enough to prepare as a weeknight dinner yet wonderful enough to be served to guests on the weekend. Succulent large shrimp are first sautéed with chili-garlic sauce and cilantro, then finished with a sweet grapefruit glaze. The fiery notes of this dish are perfectly complimented with a tart sweetness from the grapefruit glaze. <br />

We have been enjoying these sweet grapefruits in the morning with breakfast {a splendid way to start the day with half of a grapefruit containing 100% the daily value of vitamin C!} so I decided to switch things up and add them to a savory dinner dish. My kiddos like spicy dishes, but nothing too hot - so this recipe for <b>Spicy Shrimp with Sweet Grapefruit Glaze</b> was perfect! The natural sweetness of grapefruit works fabulous to tone-down the heat in this dish and I love that there's no sugar involved, just natural fresh-squeezed goodness. These shrimp are the perfect marriage of sweet and spicy, not to sweet and not too spicy - and absolutely fabulous on your taste-buds.<br />

It's less than a month away until <i>Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice</i> makes it's way into theaters nationwide! My family can't get enough of comic books and super heroes, so we are counting down the days until we can see this action-packed saga on the big screen. In anticipation of <i>Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice </i>we have been brushing up on previous Batman™ and Superman™ cartoons, movies and comic books. When I heard there were <a href="https://ooh.li/37c91e8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Batman and Superman cereals</a> headed to stores I knew they would be perfect for the super hero frenzy my family is in. <br />

Since you can't have <i>Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice</i> without both Batman AND Superman - we got a box of both cereals; <a href="https://ooh.li/37c91e8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Batman ™ Chocolate Strawberry</a> and <a href="https://ooh.li/37c91e8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Superman™ Caramel Crunch</a>. Both of these cereals use NO colors from artificial sources, NO artificial flavors, and NO high fructose corn syrup. They have only 9 grams of sugar per serving, are a good source of Calcium and Vitamin D, and 12g of whole grain per serving. <br />

The big football game is coming up on February 7th, which means it's time for all of us fans to start planning what <a href="https://ooh.li/c5d4012" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">delicious eats</a> we will serve/bring to the party! These Chicken Chili Cheese Enchiladas are absolutely perfect for halftime and without a doubt will be devoured before the second half of the game starts. These enchiladas are stuffed with Southwest Style Chicken Chili and creamy Monterey Jack cheese, topped with more of the same and baked until melted and bubbly. Sprinkled with green onions and served with sour cream and hot sauce these are a crowd-pleaser to keep in the books!<br>

I personally believe that the best way to enjoy olives is to simply pop them in your mouth. With <a href="https://ooh.li/7a5421b" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">quality olives</a> I like to taste the flavors and feel the textures - so I rarely include them in recipes as an ingredient. However, I recently saw a holiday recipe for a cheesy olive dip and the idea sounded amazing. It seemed to me that by using minimal ingredients in a cheesy dip the flavor of the olives would still shine through - and I was right! Just a few ingredients for a TON of flavor.<br>

My family loves, loves, loves meatballs - I love to make them and we all love to eat them. Lucky for me, my kiddos are adventurous when it comes to meatballs and they love trying new spins on the classic dish. Meatballs are a dish that we get to have a lot of fun with around here, plus the kids get super excited when they hear we will be having Spaghetti and Meatballs for dinner. My most recent meatball creation are these <b>Parmesan-Pesto Meatballs</b>, which were an instant hit with the whole family. This is such a delicious twist on the traditional dish of Spaghetti and Meatballs!!<br>

Pot pies are on the top of my list of comfort foods - one bite and it's like I'm sitting at the dining table in the house that I grew up in. I remember being young and thinking that it took forever for them to bake - because an hour when you're a kid is like an eternity! But it was always worth it. A warm savory pie with a golden, flaky crust. My mom always got us <b>Marie Callender's Chicken Pot Pies</b>, so I do the same for my kiddos. It's a family tradition now I guess you could say. Now that I am the parent I see pot pies as a wholesome dinner that I can easily make for my family and that are perfect for busy nights. And just like I did, my kids impatiently wait for the pot pies to get done baking. Every time.<br>

Have you started making "the rounds" this holiday season? We officially kicked off our holiday mingling this past weekend and have no end in sight until the end of the year. It's the season of holidays, family gatherings, holiday parties and seasonal activities - there is a lot to do for the next 7 weeks! Since we are on-the-go so much this season I like to make sure we are also spending quality time with one another by making time for a weekly family brunch. The star of every one of these family brunches is the pancakes. So why not make some holiday-themed pancakes while we're in full swing of this festive season? I came up with these <b>Cranberry-Orange Pancakes with Spiced Syrup</b> and they did not disappoint one bit. The Mr. even said they were some of the best pancakes he's ever tried. And let me tell you - that man has eaten his fair share of pancakes! <br>

Whether it be for an every day dinner or a game day get-together, I love to make homemade food. Yeah, it would be easier to order a couple pizzas or pick up some deli trays from the supermarket - but where is the fun in that? This past weekend we had some friends and family over for game day and I decided to whip up something delicious, hand-held and fitting for a bunch of football fans - <b>Tavern Style Pot Roast Sliders</b>. These were seriously phenomenal. Melted Muenster cheese, juicy pot roast, crisp fried onions, spicy pepperoncinis and a garlic mayo spread - all sandwiched into a soft egg dinner roll. These sliders are flavorful, easy to make and were a hit with everyone in attendance.<br>
