These will be a hit at your Christmas party … Read More

I have been wanting to make sweet potato biscuits for quite some time and when I saw a facebook friend share a recipe for them, I decided now was the time to try them. I am so very glad that I did! These were amazing!! So moist and flaky and tender, everything a biscuit should be. Plus they had the fall flavor factor with the sweet potatoes. And don't worry, the sweet potatoes aren't … Read More
I'm always on the lookout for a new cranberry sauce recipe as my husband loves the whole berry canned kind. I loved the cranberry pear relish that I made last year and while my husband liked it, he was missing the more traditional kind. So this year, I thought I would try a more traditional version. This was really great and had such a great consistency and flavor. I added a little too much … Read More

It has been such a huge blessing to not have to worry about cooking dinner, not to mention so fun getting to taste everyone's food! One of our friends brought us an apple crisp and it was so wonderful I asked her for the recipe. When my neighbor gave me a big bag of apples from an … Read More
When Adam & I got married, I started getting more into cooking & baking. I spent endless hours watching food network and scouring cookbooks & magazines for recipes. One cookbook I received as a wedding present was the Blue Willow Inn Bible of Southern Cooking, so I thought that would be a great place to find a solid recipe, and I was not disappointed. I came across a recipe for … Read More
My friend made us this one dish chicken & veggie bake and let me just tell you it was incredible. It seems unassuming, but it is packed full of flavor. The best part is you only use one dish and you bake the chicken & the veggies all together, which makes it so easy! Every bite was mouthwateringly delicious! One Dish Chicken & Veggie Bake Ingredients: 4 chicken breasts 1 1/2 … Read More
I have had a few versions of this dish at church potluck events in the past. It's always so delicious but usually made with the canned cream of chicken soups. When I found this recipe where you make your own cream of chicken soup from scratch, I knew I had to try it! This was so creamy and such an easy meal to put together. I love that you can make the chicken mixture ahead of time and then … Read More
I don't really care for traditional whipped mashed potatoes. I know, I know, that's crazy some would say! It's just a consistency issue for me. The same reason I don't like grits or meatloaf. However, I do love smashed potatoes that are chunky and have a better texture. We love to get loaded baked potatoes at restaurants but I don't make them that often at home. I thought it would be great … Read More
