Cooler weather is upon us and that means time for slow cooker/dutch oven cooking. This is one I use with my dutch oven. I stumbled upon it and have tweaked it to make it all mine. No doubt there are ways to make this healthier... and probably easier... but it is so yummy as is!GATHER:6 strips of bacon, diced1 small onion, chopped2 cloves garlic, chopped1/4 cup + 2 tbsp floursalt & pepper, to

With the new fall crispness in the air, I have been thinking about cool weather recipes. Corn bread is a favorite of mine and I have tried several different recipes before finding one my family loves. So tasty and delish! Serving this up for dinner tonight with a big pot of veggie chili. Yum!!GATHER:1/2 cup butter2/3 cups white sugar2 eggs1 cup buttermilk1/2 tsp baking soda1 cup corn meal1 cup

Ever since reading last month's issue of Real Simple I've had comfort food on the brain. This recipe is my ultimate favorite comfort food item. It meets all my qualifications- easy to cook, warm and filling, melt in my mouth delicious and best of all, it brings back memories of my childhood. (Oh, and it goes great with mashed potatoes, which is a must!) My dad is the cook in the family, but I

I must admit, I have always been one to love the simplicity of the box mix. Especially where brownies are concerned because, really, you just can't go wrong. Easy to make, good tasting, less clean up. What more could you ask for?Well, y'all I have been forever ruined for the box mix. This brownies recipe is horrifically fattening, and I am sure there are many ways to make it healthier. But

I found this delicious recipe in a recent issue of Everyday Food Magazine. Let me tell you, it is a crowd pleaser! Gooey cheese with a nice crunch from bread crumbs.

This is one of my favorite throw-together-because-I-have-no-desire-to-stand-over-a-stove-all-afternoon-recipes. Scrumptious flavors, and a surprisingly hearty dish. This is another one that would be great accompanied by some corn bread! :)GATHER:1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained1 1/2 cups frozen corn, defrosted1/c cup chopped green onions3 tomatoes, seeded and chopped1 avocado,

I am in love. I found this fabulous cookbook at my library a few months ago and I just keep rechecking it out. Guess it's time I got my own! This Fettuccine with Zucchini is a delicious recipe that I pulled from this cookbook out of desperation one night. It is now on regular rotation at my house. Simple. Fresh. Light. A perfect summer dish.GATHER:1 lb fettuccine2 tbsp. butter2 cloves of

My sweet tooth was in full swing this weekend while at a friends Going Away party. These delectable looking creatures were sitting before me and I wanted to eat every last one. I managed some restraint and instead came home and made my very own batch! :)I am sure this recipe has been done numerous ways, but this was how I did it. And y'all, all I have to say is Yum!GATHER:for filling...1 8 oz.

I don't bake. I cook- and I love to cook, but I don't bake. My friend Sarah loves to bake and in the past (the way, far away past) we whipped up a few cakes together. Now that I'm baking solo I stick with a box mix. (Gasp! I KNOW- outrageous!) That is, until yesterday. You see, my grocer put blueberries on sale, 2 for 1, and I adore me some blueberries. It is also picking season here in

This is a summertime favorite in my household. When it's too hot to turn on the oven, throw these yummy ingredients together in a bowl and, voilà! Dinner is served. Of course, you can always add some grilled chicken for a meaty take.GATHER:1 head of green leaf lettuce, finely chopped¼ cup fresh cilantro1 avocado, diced½ pint fresh strawberries, diced1 cucumber, diced1 cup sharp cheddar

I am not a soup lover. In fact I have several, um, "yucky" experiences with soups and therefore I tend to stay away from them. However, there are just some days that require a warm and cozy meal. Yesterday was such a day. As I was making out my weekly menu and grocery list, the weather turned ugly. Dark clouds, howling wind and pelting rain against my window. I decided that it was a perfect

I grew up eating meat loaf. It was one of my mom's 10 go-to recipes. In order to get my brothers and I to eat it she added a cup of salsa to the mix. Anything with salsa is yummy in my book. I had planned to cook mom's version several times, but my hubby's grimace every time I mentioned it kept me from trying. He was not a meatloaf fan, at all. That is, until I came up with this little
