Chocolate Covered Almond Coconut Candy Bars {Adventures in Chocolate}
Without a doubt, my favorite check-out isle candy bar is the Almond Joy. Coincidentally, the name I chose for Secret Santa at the office also listed Almond Joy as her favorite ‘sweet’ treat. And since Day #2 is to deliver something sweet I think it’s only fitting that I make these Chocolate Covered Almond Coconut Candy Bars (for her of course).

Orzo Salad with Peppercorn & Balsamic Poached Pears {Share the Love}
I am loving my new star ingredients from Oli+Ve, Blackberry Ginger Balsamic Vinegar. In fact I’ll be back for refills this weekend. Whenever I have the opportunity to cook for a group, small or large, I love to try something new. It’s risky (if it flops) but measuring the mmmm mmm good tells you best whether it’s a keeper or history.

Coconut Almond Shrimp with Sweet & Spicy Orange Sauce
Coconut Almond Shrimp with Sweet & Spicy Orange Sauce. Tonight marks the end of the 4th of July Holiday week. And if you’re anything like me, you’ve been milking it for everything it’s worth. We have spent the last 36 hours on “vacation” at our good friend’s new lake home. Tucked away miles from the hustle and bustle (yet less than an hour from home), sits their beautifully peaceful retreat. We rolled in jet ski adventures, with big laughs, a great dinner, porch sitting, and Breakfast at Wimbledon. Just perfect!
