This is one of my all-time favorite sweets around the holidays: sweet, decadent chocolate fudge. My mom has been making this around Christmas for as long as I can remember, and since I've lived down here in Texas I've taken on making it on my own. Surprisingly, it's...
Here is a really tasty, sweet dip recipe that I got from my mom. It's a great alternate to caramel or peanut butter for dipping apples in, but could be eaten with lots of other dippable things as well. We recently served this at a brunch (with apple slices), and it...
If you're looking for more perfect-for-fall recipes, I've got one for you right here. I originally found this on a recipe card from Taste of Home magazine, but modified it for the size of my slow cooker (2.5 qt.) and specific veggie preferences (the original called...
We hosted a brunch this past weekend, which gave me the perfect opportunity to try out both the new oven and these two recipes my aunt passed along. Whenever she hosts a family gathering, you can bet that one morning will feature a tasty breakfast casserole. So I...
I've already shared super easy slow cooker tacos, and today it's time for another unbelievably easy dish. What kind of Texan would I be if I didn't make something BBQ once in awhile? This BBQ pulled pork is quick to throw together and ridiculously moist. It's easy to...
This originally appeared as a guest post over on Eat Enjoy Live. Today I'm going to share with you one of my favorite desserts - Texas Sheet Cake! This is a dish I fell in love with long before I moved to Texas. My aunt (who has always lived in Michigan, go figure)...
Prepare yourself for the easiest and tastiest fish recipe ever. It's adapted from a recipe in one of the boy's cookbooks (Esquire's Eat Like a Man). We've made this twice so far, and thoroughly enjoyed it both times. It's also a good excuse to use that oft...
Today I have an easy and tasty recipe for you. It's only got 5 ingredients, but packs a pretty tasty punch. And it might get you addicted to Craisins if, like me, you munch on some out of the bag while making dinner. Seriously, I'd never had them before, and now I...
This is what we made for Easter dinner. The boy got it into his head that he wanted to try cooking duck, so duck is what we cooked. Prior to this, the only time we had cooked with duck was a red wine based stew, and that only need some duck legs, not a whole bird. So...
Today's post comes from Carly, one of my wonderful sponsors this month. Check out her tasty recipe below, and then go say hi! Hi, I'm Carly! And it's that time of year here in Florida: strawberry season! Pie Ingredients 6 cups fresh strawberries...
