If you would like to show off your cooking prowess on Easter with a super-easy, yet outstanding recipe, Grandma's Brisket will take the prize. This brisket is tender, juicy, and flavorful, and is complimented with warm rolls and a salad, or vegetable side dish. This recipe also bakes well in an oven bag for easy clean-up. Keep sealed for two hours, then open the bag for the last hour until done. If you don't want the added corn syrup from the ketchup, substitute with organic ketchup and it still...
It's Spring, the season that welcomes back salads each year. I usually don't post recipes with kale as an ingredient, as folks stop reading when they see the word "kale". But getting this super-food down is so much easier with this recipe. This salad is sweet, salty, tangy, and crunchy; you won't even notice the kale. Because kale and cabbage don't get soggy, this is a great make-ahead meal. Once tossed, place your salad in a mason jar with a tight lid, and take to work for a great lunch. Pair t...
Lyonnaise Potatoes (sliced potatoes cooked with onions) are as beautiful as the name. Sticky, caramelized onions fried alongside golden crispy potatoes, and topped with buttery garlic and parsley. I grew up eating this dish in the South, and it was often served at both breakfast and dinner meals. We didn't know the fancy French term at the time, but fried potatoes and onions are an easy, inexpensive, and amazingly good dish to go with cornbread and garden vegetables, meats, or served alone with...
You know those recipes you read, and think: "This can't be good - it's too easy." This is one of those deceiving recipes, but it is absolutely terrific. If you have ten minutes to prep, your slow cooker will do the rest of the work in four hours. This soup is hearty, and pairs well with a plate of your best cornbread. Several years ago, I picked up a tip regarding minced onions. Of course, nothing beats the flavor of a fresh onion, but when you need to speed things up, my friend told me to...

In the South, deviled eggs are the side dish everyone loves to see on the dinner table. But if you're the cook, you know deviled eggs are time-consuming and a little messy to prepare. This dish takes all the fuss out of deviled eggs so you and your guests can get straight to the fun of eating them. It's also adaptable to your own deviled egg recipe, so experiment the first time around. I have included my changes as well. Enjoy! Ingredients: 5 whole Large Eggs ½ cups Mayonnaise 1 teaspoon...
You don't see lemon paired with coconut often, nor do you see a simple, elegant cake assembled so easily with crushed shortbread cookies and ice cream. And here's the best part: the shortbread can be substituted with your favorite sugar cookie, ginger cookie, or lemon cookie. If you do substitute, choose a cookie at least 2 inches in size, so it will line and fill the border of your springform pan. A note about springform pans: these are amazing pans to have in your cooking arsenal, and...
As a child, friends and I loved Velveeta Dip. Back then, it was a can of Rotel, and one block of Velveeta cheese melted in a pan on the stove, and we were set for Saturday night movie snacks. Because we could make dip and chocolate oatmeal cookies, we considered ourselves to be excellent cooks. (laughs) This dip version is the grown-up version of my humble cheese dip from childhood, and it makes a terrific Super Bowl dip as well. You can also substitute Nacho Cheese Dip instead of Velveeta, or...
This recipe takes cast iron to the center of the table with a delicious, satisfying meal, all in one skillet. Cooks may also substitute vegan sausage for the chorizo, and the taste is still terrific. This recipe pairs well with a plate of warm corn tortillas, fresh avocado, and your favorite homemade salsa. Enjoy! Ingredients: 1 poblano pepper 1/2 pound fresh chorizo or bulk spicy pork sausage 4 cups frozen O'Brien potatoes, thawed 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/...
Now that Christmas meal prep is behind us, I'm sharing a simple, quick side dish for all you busy cooks. This dish is rustic and delicious with no fuss. It also plates beautifully, and highlights one of the lesser-used Winter squashes. I enjoy cooking with acorn squash for its ease of handling and versatility. Want a savory acorn squash instead of sweet? Drizzle with olive oil and add your favorite savory spices. Don't have a crock pot? Roasting acorn squash in the oven is just as easy. Place...
by Ken Stewart According to a January 2020 Loneliness Index survey from the Cigna health company, 61 percent of adults in the United States report they are lonely. That’s a seven percent increase from 2018—not to mention a pre-coronavirus lockdown figure. In April, research group SocialPro found that one-third of U.S. adults are feeling lonelier than usual. And now the holiday season has arrived, which is often a major trigger point for anyone prone to feelings of loneliness due to distance or missing someone. With all those odds stacking up...
I've always loved good tamales, but I've never attempted to make them the traditional way. Apparently, there's an art to getting tamales just right, and this dish is a delicious-tasting substitute made right in your crock-pot. This Tamale Pie is so good and hearty for a family meal. I enjoy recipes that can be adapted for different dietary restrictions, and you can easily substitute Gluten-Free cornbread in this dish. There isn't much heat in the original recipe, so if you enjoy spicy tamales,...
Using a muffin tin is a great way to make these delicious potato stacks. Nothing tastes better than a crispy-on-the-outside, creamy-on-the-inside stack of thinly-sliced potatoes topped with parmesan, salt and your favorite herbs. Enjoy! Ingredients: 3 teaspoons butter 2 teaspoons Parmesan cheese 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon thyme leaves salt freshly ground black pepper 8-10 gold potatoes, cut into 1/16 inch slices Directions: Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt butter and brush your muffin...
In light of next week's most delicious holiday, I'd like to share my family's most-loved Thanksgiving recipe. Mrs. Ruth Phillips Bumpas was an amazing cook at my childhood church. I grew up eating the best Southern food prepared by the ladies in that church, and Mrs. Ruth always made the dressing for every get-together, church function and social event. This recipe has traveled far and wide by family members who have adopted it as their own Thanksgiving dressing recipe. Happy Thanksgiving,...

Thinking about big, juicy candied apples for Halloween? Delicious, and so festive, these treats make an impressive Fall presentation. That's a lot of apple-dipping for a crowd, when it's much easier, and yields more treats, to dip slices instead of whole apples. This recipe is fun for the little ones to assemble, much easier for them to eat, and once they're cooled, make a beautiful presentation in the form of lollipops. The ideas are endless as to how to display these treats, but nothing...
There's nothing quite like the smell of homemade bread baking in the oven. Whether it's a soft loaf of sour dough bread, my grandmother's Friendship Bread, or a simple loaf of sweet bread like this amazing chocolate banana bread, Autumn is the perfect time of year to bake your loved ones something special. This chocolate banana bread comes together in about 15 minutes, and boy, is it good. Dense, rich, and topped with a velvety chocolate glaze, this one definitely belongs in your recipe box....
When I need to feed a small crew on week nights, I reach for this tamale casserole dish. Super-quick, super-tasty, and a great way to get a meal on the table for a small crowd. I used GF cornmeal mix in my dish, but you can certainly use regular corn meal for optimal flavor. You'll also want to add a little heat if you like your tamales spicy. Enjoy! Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1 can (15 ounces) black...
It's finally here. Fall is upon us, and I'm ready to make soup! This is one of my favorites, and I have adapted it to my tastes. I included the changes I make below if you would like more tips. One change I want to mention is the substitution of sweet potatoes for white potatoes. I generally add chopped Yukon Gold white potatoes, but if I don't have any on hand, I can truly say that sweet potatoes are just as delicious in this recipe, and make a great healthy alternative. A full meal in a pot, t...
My favorite season of the year is just around the corner, and I look forward to all the wonderful things Fall represents: pumpkins, apple cider, candied apples, cozy sweaters, brilliant foliage, crisp air, hayrides, and of course, delicious food. I love this cake for its simplicity, and the fact that most ingredients are already in the pantry. The cast iron skillet gives this cake a rich, crisp texture, and rustic display. This cake is delicious topped with figs, berries, and chopped...
Food is a memory maker, and there's nothing more adventurous than trying new food from a different culture. This recipe brings back fond memories of a trip I took with my grad school professor and classmates. We spent three weeks in-and-around Mexico City, soaking up the rich and beautiful history of the Aztec nation. The class was The Conquest of Mexico, an in-depth study of Cortes' victory over the Aztecs. Our trip was so exciting; adventurous tours of the Aztec pyramids, the pre-Colombian...
Nothing says a perfect marriage like peanut butter and chocolate. As I get older, I'm constantly working on ways to make my childhood favorites healthier so I can continue to enjoy them guilt-free. With only seven ingredients, this alternative is an easy, quick way to have delicious Nutter Butter cookies made with no processed sugars. This recipe comes from Half-Baked Harvest. If you haven't discovered their website, you will find many of your old favorites altered to a healthier version with...
Here's one for the busy moms now that school is back in session. Kids love cheeseburgers and pasta, so they will love this dish. This recipe can be made simply like the kids enjoy their food, or a spicer variation like the adults like it. (Both variations below.) Either way, it's a crowd pleaser for everyone. Enjoy! Ingredients 8 ounces uncooked penne pasta 1 pound ground beef 6 bacon strips, diced 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed tomato soup, undiluted 1/2 cup water 1 cup shredded cheddar...
I spend a lot of time with my friend, Deb, in the kitchen. This usually generates conversations about recipes, brands of food, and cost-of-items at the store, versus cost-to-make at home. Deb makes a delicious cold-brewed mocha latte that's hard to beat! At less than fifty cents per serving, its a great alternative if you can't get to your local barista. Deb also used the Great Value brand coffee, and I was skeptical until I tasted it. The drink was so rich and delicious, it was hard to tell...
I've loved the combination of chocolate and peanut butter my whole life. Some things just go better together; I'd say these two companions are at the top of that list! These bars are easy, decadent, and will put smiles on faces quickly. Made with ingredients in most Moms' kitchens, your friends and family will thank you for making something so similar to that "other" peanut butter/chocolate candy they all love. This recipe is easily adapted to a vegan diet with some research for vegan...
