I'm back! I had a wonderful vacation over Christmas with my family. We took the kids to Disneyland, Universal Studios, San Diego Zoo and SeaWorld. We loved it and I completely miss the warm weather. I told Lance that if he dies first, I am relocating to the warmer climate for winters. So legit. I missed the blogging world, as I don't have internet on my phone (gasp!) so I was out of the loop for about 2 weeks. It was so nice to just focus on my family and enjoy ourselves.
Last time on TTT, there were some mighty tasty looking recipes shared. I know lots of people are trying to eat healthier for their new year's resolutions, but my motto here on Mandy's Recipe Box is "a balanced diet is a dessert in each hand." Truly. So you'll have to look elsewhere for those light recipes. I, personally, will be getting back on track with Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and going lighter on my portions, but I'm still gonna enjoy my food!
Here are the 3 recipes that I'm featuring today...
from Creative Kitchen
The picture says it all.
from Gluten Free Pantry
I've recently discovered my love for squash, so this looks mighty fine!
from Meg's Everyday Indulgences
Never heard of it! Now I want to go make some of this and Vanilla Sugar.

I am so glad to hear your vacation was fun. Being unplugged sometimes is so refreshing. LOL! I absolutely agree with you about a dessert in each hand!!! Best motto EVER!!!! But if I do that I end up with a bigger blogger butt:-) So healthy eating it is!!!! Thank you so much for hosting!!!
Glad to hear your vacation was awesome! Love the motto too! And orange sugar? who knew! I already make vanilla sugar...but now I'm thinking orange and lemon would be awesome too!
Thanks for hosting! Glad to hear you had a great vacation!
Welcome back!
It's wonderful to hear that you had fun and enjoyed your vacation.
Blogging is great but there is nothing more important than family :)
I'm using vanilla sugar all the time, but I'm curious about the lemon and the orange sugar.
Welcome back! I'm glad you had a good vacation - sounds like a fun one! Thanks for hosting again this week.:)
Welcome back Mandy! You were missed. So glad to know you enjoyed a great (& busy!) time away. Being 'unplugged' really is a great change - especially when you're getting to spend quality time with family. I linked up 3 favorite recipes and can't wait to check out others here. Thanks much for hosting.
Mandy,
Sounds like an AMAZING vacation!! Living in South Florida, we are Disney fanatics! Our 3 girls love it as much as we do.
Thanks so much for featuring my peach clafoutis this week!! What an amazing surprise when I showed up to share Tex-Mex Migas this week.
I do agree with the unplugged time. Such a blessing. The internet can be such a love/hate affair don't you think?
