Wow your guests with this “scrumpdillyicious” cheesecake. The crust is made with vanilla wafer crumbs and butter, which alone is delish. Now add a layer of caramel, a generous sprinkle of chopped pecans, amazing chocolate cheesecake batter and it’s ready to bake. If you want it to be extra fancy, decorate it with dollops of […]
Spunky, spicy, smokey, meaty chili bursting with the flavors of a plethora of peppers. Top if with grated cheddar, chopped onions or my favorite…bacon crumbles ! Serve it with a big wedge of corn bread of a slice of warm beer bread, slathered with butter. A word of caution…have a glass of milk ready to […]
There’s nothing that warms the heart more than a good old Southern dish known as Chicken Fried Steak & Gravy. Don’t let the name fool ya! There’s no chicken in this dish. You take some cube steaks, bread it with flour, buttermilk, egg and some seasonings and roll it in breadcrumbs. Then you fry it…just […]
Hummingbird cake is very popular in the South. It’s a moist cake, made with bananas, pineapple, pecans, coconut and cinnamon. Top it off with cream cheese frosting and you’ll feel like you’re on a tropical island. This recipe was given to me by a lady I worked with many years ago. Penny (RIP) was from […]
Nothing’s better than a hot bowl of soup, chock full of veggies and chunks of beefy goodness. This recipe was given to me by my youngest brother, who lives in a warm climate. His recipe calls for fresh veggies, which are available in his part of the country year round…no so in my neck of […]

After trying several recipes (some were really gross), I came across this gem. It comes […]
When I was a little girl, we got to choose what we wanted for dinner on our birthday. My choice was either spaghetti or stuffed green peppers. Because there were 12 people in my family, Mom would make 2 trays of these. She would line up the peppers along the sides of the pan, would […]
Who doesn’t love a scrumptious dinner made in less than an hour? Sweet potatoes and chunks of chicken, lightly seasoned and roasted to perfection. But that’s not all…it’s sprinkled with cheese for a taste that’s divine. Who would have known a few simple ingredients tossed together could result in a dish fit for a Queen!
Love, love, love cooking shows. One day while changing channels, I saw Rachel Ray on the screen. On that particular day, Rachel was sharing some 30 minute meals…my kinda stuff. I decided to try this recipe, and I must say…it is “DELISH”. I’ll admit, it took me longer than 30 minutes to prepare, but I’m […]
My youngest son loves salad, and while surfing the web, he came across this copycat recipe of a salad served at a famous chicken sandwich restaurant. I don’t know who published it originally since he shared it with me about 5 years ago,and I do like to give credit where credit is due, so thank […]
