cooking is my super power
Southwestern Sweet Potato Soup is like a loaded baked potato soup but with a sweet and spicy kick! We are totally on a Southwest or Southwestern flavor kick lately. My family loves Mexican flavors and food so much that I’ve been trying to branch out and bring those flavors to pretty much any recipe I…
This Spiced Pear Tea Fizz recipe was created in partnership with Milo’s Tea. All opinions are my own. Growing up my mom always had a gallon-sized jug of iced tea in our fridge. So at the holidays, and especially for Thanksgiving dinner, my drink of choice is iced tea. I’m partial to unsweetened tea over ice…
Classic chicken and dumplings gets a tasty makeover with a little heat in this Southwest Chicken and Dumplings Recipe. So many people have made and loved my recipe for classic chicken dumplings. It’s sometimes overwhelming to me! Since that recipe is so popular I decided to take it in a different but still delicious direction…
Really Good Pumpkin Bread is made in one pot and employs the unusual method of cooking the pumpkin to concentrate the flavor before baking. After reading a recent issue of my America’s Test Kitchen magazine, I could not wait to try this recipe for their Really Good Pumpkin Bread. As quick breads go, this one is…
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Oscar Mayer Bacon. All opinions are 100% mine. Bacon Party Dip in a Bread Bowl is a crowd-pleasing and holiday-worthy appetizer for bacon lovers. How many times have you shown up to a party, especially during the holidays, to find a ubiquitous bread bowl…
This recipe yields a truly moist and delicious turkey meatloaf and it’s made with 99% fat free ground turkey meat. Ask my son about burgers and he’ll tell you his favorite burger is a turkey burger. Which is so funny to me because I hardly ever make turkey burgers! Though when I do they are…
I made a major upgrade to a classic recipe with this Cheesy Pimento Broccoli Casserole. Green bean casserole is so popular on Thanksgiving, but I’ve always been partial to broccoli. Probably because I like broccoli to eat steamed or roasted better than I do green beans. So if I’m going to slather a vegetable in…
These pumpkin spice whipped icing cupcakes are even better than I could bake at home and they’re perfect for serving at a Pumpkin Carving Party or any other gathering in the Fall. This post is sponsored by Rich Products/Bettercreme® Whipped Icing. All opinions are mine alone. I’ll be honest, I’m not a fan of purchasing frosting,…
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Chili combines the best flavors from both chili and pulled pork for a hearty meal that’s also perfect for tailgating. Thanks to the Ohio Pork Council for sponsoring this post. All opinions are mine alone. October is National Pork Month. But I don’t need a month to remind me to put…
A three-cheese blend and buttered pasta are mixed in with a veggie and meat-filled tomato sauce to create The Best Lasagna Soup. I’ve been on a soup kick lately. This happens once the weather finally turns cold for the season. One of my favorite things to do (when I have time) is to shop the…
