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 …

My version of Lemon Poppyseed Bread is SO darn good. It goes wonderful with coffee, or by itself, or on a plate with an extra dollop of whip cream. There is really nothing wrong you can do to this bread.

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 …

Last weekend we went to Longhorn’s Steakhouse for dinner. It was fabulous! The commercial on T.V. for their newest entree — Longhorn’s Parmesan Crusted Chicken would make my mouth water every time I saw it.

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.

As my family and I hunker down for what the weather calls “a bad winter storm”, we anticipate the wonderful, creamy dessert that we will get to make once the snow hits — Homemade Snow Cream!

Pioneer Woman Restaurant Style Salsa is amazing and full of delicious salsa flavor. Tastes just like what you would get if you went to a Mexican restaurant. Read on to learn how to make this easy salsa recipe for yourself. My family and I love salsa. However, we don’t always like to go to the …

If you know my family, then you know how important breakfast is around here. Our newest breakfast creation that has become my favorite is Breakfast Pizza! Never heard of? Well, read on and you will see just how scrumptious this pizza is!

I was at the store the other day and liked to have had a cow (that’s Kentucky slang for throwin a fit) when I saw the cost of a round loaf of bread to use for a bread bowl. Almost $5.00! What???? I was NOT going to pay that price for some bread! I knew …

Ya’ll know how much I love Paula Deen’s recipes. Yesterday, I was watching her on Food Network, and she made a Candy Snack Cake! Being the little baker that I am, I decided to make it myself, and look how it turned out!

I have had many people email me asking for me to post my Butterfinger cake recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family. In fact, my family loves it so much I have to make it several times a month!

My delicious Southern Cream Cheese Noodles are a hit anytime I make them. Did you know that cream cheese can make just about any dish taste delicious? One of my husband’s favorite noodle dishes is so simple and easy to make — Cream Cheese Noodles.

My daughter loves homemade hot chocolate. She takes her cup in the kitchen and experiments with different added flavors. 

Yesterday was our first day of just letting loose for the holidays! Look at these adorable pilgrim hat cookies we made. The recipe for Pilgrim Hats came from the Disney Family Fun website.

I am all about making things more frugal. Last night when we were wanting some ice cream, I remembered a recipe that I had seen on the Hillbilly Housewife website for a Homemade Chocolate Shake called Magic Milkshakes. What caught my eye about this recipe was that it did not require the use of ice …

I don’t know if I ever told you about this website or not, but I  love The Hillbilly Housewife! Her recipes are awesome and they are easy, frugal, and taste OH so delicious! I recently made her Spicy Oven Potato Wedges.
