Recipes
I know. I know. As you are reading this recipe, you are thinking, “My GOD, what is that woman trying to do to her family and guests with all of that cream, cheese, cream cheese and (gasp) cheese food?” In my own defense, I have to tell you, this began innocently enough many years ago- …
This post sponsored by Bertolli. BUONE FESTE! No. 113 – Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!!! (Where did I learn that? – you will see). Imagine my Tuesday evening: The Time: 5:30 pm. I am Starving (or at least my stomach is saying so very loudly). I have made NO plans for dinner. I haven’t …
Eat the soup! EAT THE SOUP!!! For years I have said, “But, I don’t like Chicken Noodle Soup!” You know the kind I’m talking about, the weak broth, the stringy worm-like little nothing noodles and the tiny pieces of stringy overcooked chicken that are something akin to wet burlap. Yuck. I don’t like it. However, …
Who me? Don’t mind me. I’m just sitting over here munching on my Carolina Christmas Beans just like I’ve been doing for the past couple of days. I thought we might need an alternative to Green Bean Casserole – I mean, I LOVE Green Bean Casserole – but, I’m a little tired of it, aren’t …
Why? Why oh why would I post a recipe for the perfect roasted turkey on the day AFTER Thanksgiving? Am I just being mean? Am I dense? Did someone hit me in the head while I was Black Friday shopping? Is my calendar a day off? Nope. The issue is that 99% of the time …
This post sponsored by Bird’s Eye. Have you ever thought about this? My oldest child (almost 28) loved to be rocked until he was about 3 or 4 years old. At some point, I have no idea when, he didn’t ask to be rocked any more. There was a “very last time”. One day, he …
You might not like me after I say this. I know we are right around the corner from, the Absolute Penultimate Final Pumpkin Holiday of the year, but honestly I can’t even look at another can of pumpkin, pumpkin cookie, pumpkin pie, pumpkin latte, pumpkin….. I can’t. Are you with me? I’m over it until …
I know, I know. It happens to me too! Sweet Hubby doesn’t come home until 6:30 or later. I get off of work at 5:30. I have to pick up the teenager from play practice at the high school which is 15 minutes away from here at 6pm. That means we are all rolling in …
Can we talk for a minute? Isn’t it a shame that comfort food takes such a beating? I mean, here we are on the cusp of one of the greatest comfort food holidays of the year and folks get so judgy. I mean, think about it, we could potentially be faced with mounds of heaping, …
I hope you won’t mind me running a little far afield from talking about the recipe for pumpkin pie with a pecan drizzle here, because frankly I’m starting to have a little bit of an internal freak out. I know that I am supposed to be spending these first few words alluring you with the …
I know, I know – in a world of respectable accomplishments, like the ones you people are doing every day, this seems like the itty bittiest of things to be excited about. However, in MY life, this is a BIG THING. It is HUGE! I have pulled off a dog-gone close recipe for a Pumpkin …
Eggs in Purgatory. What does that even MEAN?? I know, right? I can’t figure out why such a delish dish should be called anything but “Eggs in Heaven”. The name really is bothering me … Not enough that I refrain from eating said egg, but, you know, it bothers me…. some. Today’s post is sponsored …
Occasionally, dinner time around here resembles an episode of “Chopped”. We had one of those nights this week. Halleluiah and DANG! Sometimes those mystery ingredients can turn out a pretty darn good dish! Let me introduce you to Lamburger Gouda Mac.
I am having a ridiculous love affair. It seems so silly to talk about it here, but I thought if I just talked it out a little, then maybe my cravings might lessen and we could all be a little happier, right? That’s how it works? Once you name a thing, it becomes less of …
This Easy Fast Holiday Side Dish Sausage and Rice is perfect for the upcoming holidays, when company visits or for when you need a quick dinner dish! This simple TWO ingredient dish represents everything that was tough about my childhood. OK. I might be stretching it a little. You should check it out though. Just click …
What is better on a cold rainy morning or cool cloudy evening than a stack of hot waffles drenched in a sweet apple cinnamon topping? Uhhhhhh…… nothing! Well, I know that my hubby was hoping that I would make a Kale Cranberry Granola for his breakfast – but instead he had to deal with rich, …
This post sponsored by HH Greg and Kitchenaid. Have you ever met a Super Heroine? I have. I have known her for most of my life. We even roomed together in college one year! I am going to introduce you to her in a few moments along with my Pumpkin Snickerdoodle 10,000 Cupcakes and GIVEAWAY …
A few years ago, I entered a chili contest and I LOST! I DID! To say I was devastated is NOT an exaggeration! I have a reputation to uphold! I am nearly famous in my (own mind) ( – errrr – I mean…. ) tiny town for my annual Halloween Party in which I serve …
This post sponsored by Ragu. To celebrate fall, I’m throwing a mouth party that will allow you a little more couch time – how is that for a favorite comfort food?! In this new take on a traditional dish, Chorizo Mouth Party Lasagna Rolls uses Ragu Pasta Sauce and introduces Mexican Chorizo to Spanish Serrano Jamon and …
