With one look at this title, I knew the recipe would be a winner. Let's be honest: bacon + cheddar + bread? Who in the world could go wrong with that? I couldn't have found this at a more perfect time with the start of football season and knew it would be a great game day snack. I also had so much success with Rebecca's General Tso's Chicken that I was already imagining how we'd devour this bread. And devour it we did!View Post →

Fall is here and that means it's pumpkin season. I love cooking and baking with pumpkin and I am always looking for new ways to use pumpkin in the kitchen. I recently stumbled upon this recipe for Pumpkin Cornbread from Tasty Kitchen member Tracy (sugarcrafter) and immediately added it to my "must try" pumpkin list. I made vegetarian chili for dinner one night and decided it was the perfect time to whip up a batch of Pumpkin Cornbread. View Post →

Healthy snack options mean, well, it means options. And options are good, especially when we're heading into the holiday season, packed with all flavors of goodies at every turn. Yes, having healthy and tasty options in your repertoire is always a good thing. This recipe for Baked Sweet Potato Fries submitted by Tasty Kitchen member Caitlin is one of those options. Sweet potatoes are packed with carotenoids, vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, and baking the fries, as this recipe calls for, keeps the fat down. Good for snacking, or as a side dish, these Baked Sweet Potato Fries are satisfying to the max. Simple too. Let me show ya.View Post →

Canned jalapeños? Yes please! What could be better than enjoying the fruit of our summer labor on a cold day in February? After making a batch of Rebecca's Candied Jalapeños, I know one thing for sure: there is no way I've canned enough jars to make it till February. You may be wondering what Candied Jalapeños taste like. It's a wonderful mix of sweet and heat. I made my first batch with the seeds and membranes included and it was SPICY! The tangy, savory sweet flavor of the syrup knocked my socks off. In short, Cowboy Candy is delicious and totally addicting. View Post →

BLT Pizza might just be my most recent favorite dinner. It’s super easy to prepare and only requires a handful of ingredients but leaves everyone at the dinner table satisfied and happy. I haven’t always been a big bacon fan (I know, something was obviously wrong with me) but recently I’ve decided it’s totally necessary in life. The idea of eating all these classic sandwich toppings on a pizza is just kinda awesome. It’s a winner with both kids and adults and your friends and family will be begging for more!View Post →

Every September I always have at least a few green tomatoes dangling in the garden. This is always a good thing because while ripe juicy red tomatoes are wonderful, green tomatoes are much more of a delicacy for me and hard to come by any other time of year. This was the perfect time for me to make this Fried Green Tomato recipe by Stephanie of Cookin' Cowgirl.View Post →

I may be a chocolate girl, but peaches will always have my heart. They bring me back to my true Southern roots! And though I love a good slice of gooey chocolate cake like the rest of them, if given the choice I will always choose peach cobbler for dessert. Sweet, juicy peaches topped with sweet biscuits and served with vanilla ice cream. It doesn’t really get better than that, folks. It really doesn’t.View Post →

  Really quick ice cream. Like, zero to sweet, frozen goodness in under 15 minutes. NOT too good to be true! When I saw Ice Cream in a Bag by Tasty Kitchen member whatthedogate (Donna) I wondered why I had never tried this before. I thought it might be a fun project to do with [...]View Post →
