The reason why the word "best" is in the recipe is because this dish always converts the brussels sprouts naysayers by first bite. Deconstructing the sprout by serving it in loose leaf form helps those who compare the little vegetable to "mushy alien heads."

While perusing Pinterest, I kept coming across "Hot Chocolate on a Stick". I had never heard of such a thing. But, I am so glad I found it. It makes a delicious cup of hot chocolate. We are really enjoying these. They would make a nice gift for someone... if they make it out of the house!

Cranberry Salsa
Cranberry SalsaI admit I used to only serve cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner because of the bright colour to add a little umph to the plate. Now that I make cranberry salsa, it's all about the amazing sweet, salty, spicy flavour! I get asked for this recipe ALL the time. I hope you enjoy it, too!

New York Cheesecake
New York CheesecakeCheesecake is not something that I usually think of as being "thrifty", to buy or to make. I must have had cheesecake on the brain because my pinterest page has about 5 or 6 recipes that I have added in the last few weeks. I took advantage of a sale on cream cheese this week at $1.19 a package. When I calculated the ingredients cost, this was less than $8 to make! It is one of the best cheesecakes I have ever tasted. It is so creamy and smooth. There is no graham cracker crust, but you could make one if that is what you prefer. I could have gone either way. I made a strawberry sauce to go over the cheesecake, but it didn't need it. It was perfect the way it was. It was well worth the effort. I will definitely be making this again, when I can find another great deal on cream cheese.

Hot Vanilla Mix
Hot Vanilla MixLast year my mom gave me a tin of hot vanilla latte mix from a coffee and tea chain. It was delicious, but we can't afford such an expensive habit. By chance I found a similar recipe, made a couple of changes and it turned out very similar. My husband loves this. This would make a great gift, tucked into a can with instructions.

Homemade Rustic Pumpkin Pie
Homemade Rustic Pumpkin PiePumpkin pie is one of the few pies that I love! We got a huge pumpkin from our garden this year! So I thought it would be cool to take on the daunting challenge of making a pumpkin pie from scratch. My favorite part of tasting and enjoying warm pie on a cold fall evening. Nothing says fall like pumpkin pie! : )

Whipped Chocolate Truffle Candy Bars
Whipped Chocolate Truffle Candy BarsThis recipe is a copycat recipe of a Three Musketeer bar. I didn't think it tasted exactly like one but it was better! The filling was a little softer, and it was more like an airy soft truffle. My 5 year old tasted one and said, "Mommy, this is the best thing in the world!". My 12 year old took a bite and immediately said, "Mom! You're making these again, right?". The recipe was so simple with minimal ingredients. I will be making these again, for sure.

Tahini-Free Hummus - in a serving dish
Tahini-Free HummusTahini can be on the expensive side, difficult to find, and not get used as often as other staples in the kitchen. For me, personally, too much tahini makes my throat itch (unfortunate!) Here's a way to make a delicious hummus by substituting peanut butter for tahini!

A plate of chicken and vegetables.
Crockpot Chicken with Potatoes and CarrotsVery little prep time and really tasty. The chicken is cooked without the skin, so it is healthy as well.

finished salmon
Pistachio and Cream SalmonI love this salmon recipe. It takes such little effort to make this completely gourmet dish. The crunchiness of the pistachios atop the cream sauce covered fish will make you go "Mmm!" every bite. You can always swap out the pistachios with any type of nut and it will still work brilliantly.
