Three-Cheese Pimiento Cheese

I haven’t always been a fan of pimiento cheese spread. For whatever reason, I didn’t care for it, but in the past few years I’ve given it another taste. I find the homemade versions are almost always the best. I made a lightened up…

I’m so excited to share these cupcakes with you. They turned out absolutely amazing and are the perfect dessert for Fall. Last Friday was Shannon’s birthday (you know her from Bake.Frost.Repeat.) and I asked her to send me her top choices for a birthday…

Chicken & Three Bean Chili Verde

You know I have never cooked with tomatillos. Never. How have I gone this long without doing that? Maybe that’s why when I was flipping through the latest Southern Living, I stopped on this recipe for Chicken & Three Bean Chili Verde. I really…

Blueberry Pecan Crisp

You know how I love desserts. Love, love, love them. I have an incurable sweet tooth. While I’m a huge fan of chocolate, I also have a soft spot for fruity desserts. Mostly the ones you see this time of year like cobblers, pies,…

Cheddar-Jalapeno Cornbread

Last week I intended to make one recipe of cornbread. This Bacon-Scallion Cornbread to be exact. The smell while it was baking was so intoxicating that I decided to whip up another batch. But this time, I chose to make it’s spicier cousin Cheddar-Jalapeno…

Curried Green Lentil Soup
Main Dish Soups & Stews Vegetarian

Curried Green Lentil Soup

All I’m craving lately is soups, stews, and chilis. It might have something to do with the massive amounts of cornbread I made last week (see Bacon-Scallion Cornbread) or it’s just that time of year. A big pot of something awesome cooking on the…

You may have noticed I’m a big fan, make that huge fan, of Goo Goo Clusters. Nashville’s very own chocolate confection that’s been around for 100 years. Last month, Goo Goo celebrated its birthday around Nashville in style. Several restaurants paid tribute to the…

Bacon-Scallion Cornbread

Bacon. Scallion. Cornbread. I almost feel like that’s all I need to put in this post, along with its picture. I read those three words and I’m already pressing print for the recipe! This time of year, with the weather being cooler, I long…

Pasta & White Beans with Broccoli Pesto

When I think of pesto, I think of the traditional version with basil (or another kind of herb like this mint version). It never dawned on me that you can really make all kinds of pesto…like broccoli pesto! This was so new to me…

Sweet Potato Chile Mac
Main Dish Pasta Pork Side Dish

Sweet Potato Chile Mac

I was such a ball of nerves making this recipe. Which is kind of ridiculous since I find cooking so therapeutic. I’ve been burned before with a pumpkin mac & cheese recipe, so I feared this Sweet Potato Chile Mac dish might lead me…

German Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned my love affair with pecans before. They are in my top five list of food weaknesses. If I’m using them in a recipe, you can count on me eating a fair amount of them while I’m baking. I’ve…
