I'm a southern gal with a passion for cooking and baking from scratch, the old fashioned way!
I’ve made this nice cozy breakfast bread several times this season. A slice of this bread is absolutely perfect with a cup of coffee or tea on a chilly morning. It is packed full of tart apples, juicy cranberries, and toasty walnuts – with barely enough spiced batter to hold it all together!
You may remember my post about my cousin, the Meat Lady. She is the one who introduced me to this up-and-coming new cut of meat: the flat iron steak. You can read all the details here, but basically meat scientists like my cousin are finding new ways to cut meat so that you can get a really tender steak without having to pay $15 per pound. I got the steak here for about $4, and it was more than enough to feed both me and the husband (right around 16 ounces). The best part, though, is that this steak has the texture, flavor, and irresistible melt-in-your-mouth tenderness of filet mignon. Pretty good deal, huh?
Looking for that perfectly balanced combination of savory, sweet, and snacky-licious? Well, you have met your match. Popcorn bark and pretzel bark are so easy to make – a wonderful kitchen project for kids – and satisfyingly balanced in their combination of sweet-and-savory goodness!
Sometimes, making an appetizer doesn’t have to be as difficult or complicated as you think it does. Try the delicious combination of a log of brie cheese drizzled with honey and topped with toasted walnuts. It’s simple but incredibly elegant. Most of all, the delicate blend of flavors is absolutely mouth-watering. . .
This is a really fun and easy appetizer that never fails to please a crowd! The flaky crescent rolls provide a wonderfully flavorful nest for layers of zesty basil pesto. You won’t believe how simple it is to make these beautiful little treats.
This is a recipe that you can go wild and crazy with . . . substitute your own flavorful fillings and let me know what you come up with! Maybe some pimento cheese? Or some olive tapenade? Alfredo sauce perhaps? Sundried tomato pesto? The possibilities are endless, so get creative!
