4 Simple Summer Recipes
Homemade Hooplah

I enjoy looking at Pinterest for new ideas. I often find myself pinning do it yourself projects, room decor ideas, rings, clothes, and food. Most of the things that I pin on Pinterest simply stay there, but I have tried a couple of recipes. Below there is a list of a few of my favorite recipes. All of these recipes are simple and easy to make. There are two desserts recipes, two dinner recipes, and one breakfast recipe. The Cinnamon Roll French Toast is my favorite! It really allows you to breakout of the typical breakfast routine. You may also see a pattern along the way. I really like ranch, so I try to sneak it into anything that I can.

Bacon Wrapped Cream Cheese chicken


I deviated from the original recipe when I made this dish, and it turned out delicious. All that you need to make this dish are 2 pounds chicken, 12 slices of bacon, 8oz cream cheese, and 1/4 a tablespoon of ranch seasoning. Preheat the oven to 375. Then take a skillet and slightly cook your bacon (it needs to be flimsy so that it can be wrapped around the chicken). Combine the cream cheese and the ranch seasoning in a small bowl. Flatten the chicken until it is about 1/4 of an inch thick then begin to spread the cream cheese mixture on the chicken. Roll then chicken up and wrap the bacon around the chicken. Make sure that the bacon is tucked beneath the chicken so that it is secure. Finally bake for 30 minutes.

S’mores Dip


You will need German chocolate cake mix, a can of sweetened condensed milk, a container of cool whip, and a bag of crushed Heath bars. Bake the cake according to the recipe on the box. Allow the cake to cool for 5-10 minutes then poke holes in it. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the cake, and allow it to sink into the holes. Allow the cake to cool for about 20 more minutes the cover the cake in cool whip. Finally sprinkle the crushed Heath bars onto!

"Cracked out" Chicken Bubble up


You will need 2 cups of cooked chopped chicken, a can of cream of chicken soup, 8oz of sour cream, a cup of shredded cheaper cheese, 1/2 a tablespoon of ranch seasoning, 6 slices of cooked chopped bacon, and a can of biscuits. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the ingredients in a bowl except for the biscuits. Chop the biscuits into fours the place them around the edges of your baking dish. Pour the mixture into your baking dish then cover with the rest of the biscuits. Bake for 25-30 minutes.

Cinnamon roll French toast


For the filling you will need 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, and 4 tablespoons of brown sugar. For the cream cheese topping you will need 4 tablespoons of cream cheese, 2 1/2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 1/4 a tablespoon of vanilla. For the egg mixture you will need 2 eggs, a pinch of nutmeg, and 3 tablespoons of milk. Cut the crust off of your bread the spread the filling onto the bread. Roll up the bread and dip into the egg mixture then place it in a nonstick pan. Finally top with cinnamon sugar and the cream cheese mixture.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
