5 Ingredient Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

May 23, 2016 Amanda Plott

Another busy weekend behind me and I couldn't be looking forward to next week anymore than I am! My little girl will be out of school and done with her dance for this season; giving me a much needed little break. With the last few days, weeks, and months all blurring together, I needed something easy and light to toss together after milling around the store today for my weekly shopping trip.

I decided some homemade hummus would hit the spot perfectly. I've made my share of hummus before, but hadn't yet dabbled with a roasted red pepper variation which happens to be one of my favorites to buy...

I love my coffee. I seriously couldn't imagine a morning going by without a cup of my favorite joe to pick me up and get me moving through my day. This morning I was feeling even more indulgent and decided to take my morning coffee to the next level by pairing it with some delicious and decadent quick Raspberry Sweet Rolls.

These aren't your ordinary plain-jane sweet rolls either. Not only are they super easy to whip up with a handy-dandy little trick with crescent rolls, but I also amped them up by adding a cream cheese mocha drizzle over the top as the hero of the show.

Trust me, these aren't nearly as much of guilty indulgence as you might think either - just a perfectly awesome mocha filled sort of indulgence...

Thick & Hearty Pizza Sauce

Mm... this sauce is thick, rich, and very hearty with bold pieces of sautéed onion and garlic littered through it. It's absolutely perfect for dipping, but would be just as amazing atop some 3 Ingredient Pizza Dough, or in any other place that you would use a typical pizza sauce...

Tortellini En Brodo (Broth)

I'm honestly... exhausted today as I write this. My little girl was up the most of the night with a cough. I tried everything I knew to do and nothing seemed to soothe or calm it. Finally, sometime in the wee hours of the morning I grabbed her up and brought her in bed to cuddle up with me.

After a good hour of wiggling and squirming she finally settled in and we managed to get 2-3 hours of sleep before the sun peeked in. Amazing how the cough went away once she was snuggled into me. Sometimes you just need your mommy...

This is a super fun and simple salad that combines some of my favorite traditional summer flavors together in a rather unique way!...

Happy Birthday to me!

Okay, so my birthday isn't today - it's tomorrow. But, I won't be around my computer for a day or two since I'll be busy bikini-ing it up at Schlitterbahn (the local water park.)

Work hard, play harder. ..
