Cinnamon Bread Pudding

Bread pudding has been one of my favorite desserts since I was a child. It’s not fancy and is typically only made when I have leftover biscuits, buns, or bread that need to be used. But it is one of the most satisfying dishes in my repertoire. Today, I changed up my normal bread pudding.…

Black Forest Tart

Although I usually make the traditional favorites on holidays, this year included a few new offerings as I branched out to explore new recipes. One big hit was a Black Forest Tart made using a gluten-free approach. The presentation is impressive, but the recipe is simple and easy. Grandson Seth said, “It’s one of the…

Halloween Boo-Bark

I’m always looking for something that’s a quick and easy treat to put together for a holiday. This Halloween Boo-Bark is the perfect project to do with your kids or grandkids. All it takes is milk chocolate or white chocolate almond bark and any variety of candies or salty additions you want to use. You…

Why Grammy Cooks

When I was a little girl, some of my earliest memories include standing in my own Granny’s kitchen on the farm and watching her cook. Before the age of five I understood where food came from because I helped gather eggs, watched Granny churn butter, and helped her make applesauce. She did things the old…

Fried Green Tomatoes

It’s the end of summer and the end of tomato season. Someone needs to tell our tomato plants! When you have lovely, big, green tomatoes on the vines, you don’t want to waste them. Make green tomatoes something to celebrate by whipping up a batch of that old southern classic, Fried Green Tomatoes. INGREDIENTS: 2…

Toasted Coconut Cheesecake

I just celebrated a milestone birthday and, as a reward, decided to try a new recipe I’ve been dying to make. Some recipes have to wait until a special occasion – you have to have plenty of help eating it to make it worth the effort. I found this recipe on Delish and it looked…

Blackberry Swirl Cheesecake

It was no surprise that coupling blackberries and cheesecake was a winning combination! This recipe came from the Food Network. INGREDIENTS: Crust-1-9 ounce box chocolate…

Smoked Apple Brined Pork Chops

These are the best pork chops I’ve ever had. My husband is a big fan of Malcolm Reed (HowToBBQRight). These were his recipe and they’re easy, moist and flavorful. They’re also really pretty! INGREDIENTS: 6, thick-cut bone-in pork chops For the brine:64 ounces apple juice1 cup brown sugar1/2 cup kosher salt1/2 cup BBQ rub (we…

SMOKY JALAPENO POPPER MAC & CHEESE II

I love all of the fabulous grilled and smoked meats my husband makes. They are always the centerpiece of our year-round meals. However, the quality of the side dishes that go along with those offerings make them even more special. This particular one I originally found via HeyGrillHey.com and then I altered it to suit…

Cherry Rhubarb Jam

Traditions come in many forms and are associated with many specific times and places. Cherry Rhubarb Jam is a recipe that touches on each of those. My mother-in-law had rhubarb plants in her yard and each spring she would make her delectable Cherry Rhubarb Jam. I don’t know where she got her original recipe -…
