Fruity Danish {Totally Tasty Tuesdays}

I shared these yummy little treats last week over at Mangoes and Chutney, but in case you didn't wander over there, I'm posting it here for the rest of you. These take no time at all, well, except to bake them, but even then, it's quick. Unless you stand there at the oven, waiting for them to get done baking because you can't stand the wait. Then, ok, maybe they take a while. You will gobble these right up.

2 tubes of refrigerated breadsticks
1/3 c. melted butter
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 c. pie filling of your choice
1 c. powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp. water

Separate breadsticks into sections but leave coiled. Place on a greased cookie sheet. Brush generously with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Make an indentation in the top of each and fill with about 1 Tbsp. pie filling.

 Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Combine powdered sugar and water; drizzle over warm rolls.

Joey's Kicked Up Rockin' Guac with Lime + Tomatillos

Party worthy guacamole with lime and tomatillos

Treat yourself. Make this guacamole tonight. I beg you. You'll go loco over it. Trust me. It's the tomatillos and fresh lime juice that nudge this gluten-free vegan guac recipe into super favorite status-- which, by the way, is why I am excavating it from the dusty archives. In case you missed it.

Because there seems to be some partying goin' on this weekend. You already know how I feel about football. But who am I to deny that my Nachos Fabuloso, Quinoa Taco Salad, and Lime Chicken Tacos wouldn't be some seriously tasty game peeping food? Not to mention my vegan Hot Artichoke Dip, Jalapeño Lime Hummus and Baked Grape Tomatoes with Basil Cornbread Crumbs.

Need even more Super Bowl recipe inspiration? If you're weary of ho-hum chili, and Mexican bean dip, try these Turkey Sweet Potato Enchiladas, my Cranberry Buffalo Roast Stew, Roasted Hatch Chile Stew or this family favorite Roasted Corn Chowder with Chicken and Cilantro. Break out this make-ahead Red Potato Salad Spiked with Horseradish, or my Green Chile Tortilla Bake with layered corn tortillas and cream cheese.

Party on, gluten-free guys and gals.

Review with CSN Stores

I have another great opportunity to review a product of my choice courtesy of CSN Stores. They are a wonderful company. They have so many things to choose from. My kids would love a wooden swing set and there is a great selection over there.

Here's what I've decided to review...

This cute collander and...

 These Le Creuset dishes in violet. They didn't have a picture of mine, but it's the same.

I cannot wait!

P.S. They have launched a new store called Joss & Main. Super cute stuff. Go check them out.

Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread

 I am sharing a quick bread recipe that tastes a lot like Amish Friendship Bread. I love this because it tastes so great but without all the work of the Amish Bread. We ate this loaf up in a few hours. That's saying something in this house. And it wasn't even all me that ate it!
