I love BBQ Lil’ Smokies! There are so many different ways you can fix these. I have used a recipe where I wrapped them in crescent rolls. I have wrapped them in bacon. And one of my all time favorite ways to fix them is with grape jelly! It makes them have this delicious bbq …
Last week while visiting my local farmer’s market, I grabbed a few zuchinni. I had planned on making some kind of roasted vegetable dish, but never got there! 🙂 Instead, I made a delicious zuchinni bread–which has become one of my favorite sweet treats!
One of my favorite things to eat at our local Chinese restaurant is the Chinese Sweet Biscuits that they have. After studying them for a few visits, I figured out that they are nothing more than biscuit dough that has been rolled up and fried and then rolled in sugar. SUPER easy and will be …
I told you I that I was gonna make some Homemade Cheez its! One thing is for sure, this recipe is SO yummy! I have been sitting on this recipe for several months. It comes from an old cookbook that a friend of mine owns. She let me borrow it to look through it and …
This copycat Paula Deen House Seasoning is the perfect blend for just about anything you happen to be making. Goes great on fish, chicken, beef, potatoes, veggies, side dishes and more! I love making homemade seasoning mixes! It never dawned on me until a couple of years ago that it is so much cheaper and …
If you love sweet breads, you are definitely going to love this one for Cinnamon Swirl Bread! I made this using my gorgeous Kitchenaind mixer and the recipe booklet that comes with it.
This past week I tried my hand at making Paula Deen’s Grilled Potatoes. We were having her yummy Puff Pastry Burgers, and I wanted a potato side dish to go with them, so I tried my hand at making these and they turned out delicious!
This is one of the best homemade desserts you will ever make! Nothing beats a hot homemade peach cobbler topped with some vanilla bean ice cream!
As always, my girl Paula Deen knows how to do it up right! When pork tenderloins are on sale at the butcher, I always buy one so I can make this amazingly delicious Herb Crusted Pork Loin. It is SO good and tasty and flavorful!
I first saw this recipe for Cashew Brittle being made on Down Home with Neely’s (yes I am a Food Network Junkie). I knew the minute I watched Gina make this that it was going to be on my “to make” list.
Yesterday I tried my hand at making homemade wheat thins. Oh. My. Goodness. These little guys are SO delicious! Addictive would be a much better word to describe them. And, this recipe are super easy to make.
I was quite proud of my creation today! I learned how to make homemade English muffins! I cannot wait for Stephen to try these in the morning. I plan on toasting the inside like they do at Waffle House and serving it with some sausage and egg on the top!
My awesome homemade corn dogs look just like they came from the store — right out of the freezer section. However. . .they are homemade–as in made from scratch–with the daughter.
These stuffed jalapenos have become one of my absolute favorite finger foods in. the. world. They are so easy to make and they just keep getting better and better the longer they sit!
Kayla is really beginning to show her cooking skills lately! At almost 13 years of age, she knows how to read a recipe, bake from scratch, and almost can cook a complete meal for the family! So excited about that! She made these yummy No Cook Mints just the other day all by herself.
As I write this post, the snow is coming down again! I am so tired of snow ( I think I said that yesterday). On top of the 7 inches we already got, we are getting 3-5 more inches today, so when it starts snowing, I get to baking and today I get to share …
My son is a major chocolate milk drinker. He can go through two bottles of syrup a week ( you know the Hershey brand right?). Anyway, I started looking for a homemade version of chocolate syrup and of course, The Hillbilly Housewife had just the recipe I needed! Have I mentioned how much I love …
I had the pleasure last week of playing with my new kitchen gadget–my tortilla maker! If you do not have one of these, let me tell you, they make the whole homemade corn tortilla process SO MUCH EASIER (and they are delicious and don’t taste like cardboard)!
One of Kayla’s favorite things to eat anytime we go anywhere is Super Easy onion straws. I did not even realize how easy they are to make! Last week, I decided to try and make her some. These look pretty yummy huh?
My husband loves pecan pie. As I told you before, when he loves something, I do my very best to fix it for him. I am not a fan of pecans. However, this pie turned out to be so. darn. good.
I don’t think I will ever buy another round of Little Cesar bread sticks again! I made homemade garlic breadsticks last week to go with a pasta dish we were having and I will say that these were scrumptious. And if you’re feeling adventurous and want to try out something new, you can give vegan garlic …
The next time you have an urge for chocolate pie, try your hand at making a Chocolate Chess Pie. It may be just a southern gal thing, but this pie is SO scrumptious!
I have tried different homemade versions of homemade taco seasoning mix, but none of them tasted “just right”. I couldn’t figure out what it was that was making them taste so bland. But no worries! I kept playing around with it and now I created one that is perfect for just about any protein you …
I discovered a new favorite pie of mine this past week — Key Lime Pie. The tartness of the lime mixed with the amazing flavors of graham cracker crust and whipped cream, it makes this dessert to die for!
Making homemade funnel cake is one of our favorite things to do–and it is SO easy! I used to buy the box of premade funnel cake mix at the store, until I found this recipe online. It works wonderfully well and it is so scrumptious. WARNING–this food is not good for dieters. Just looking at …
I love Chinese food. I could live on it morning, noon, and night. Of course our budget cannot handle eating Chinese out every night, so I had to find a way to make our favorites at home for a small fraction of the cost. One of my favorite things are these delicious Fried Cream Cheese …
Several years ago, my very good friend Annette gave me a ziplock bag filled with a goo and a recipe on a card labeled “Amish Friendship Bread”. Little did I know that this sweet tasting bread would become a family favorite around here.
Since I have been trying my hand at cooking from scratch, I decided to try making a fresh Blackberry pie. I love Apple Pie, and Peach Pie, but didn’t have any of those fruits on hand. I love blackberries, so I purchased some and brought them home! It’s a wonder I had any left to …
This is my all time favorite dip in the whole world. I could go swimming in this stuff! If you are a lover of cheese, sausage, rotel, and tortilla chips, then you will want to make this Sausage Cheese Dip yourself.
This has become our “go to” potato when I want something crunchy but somewhat healthier than the fried version. Here is my recipe for Homemade Potato Wedges baked in an oven.
