*UPDATE – See this post about our new eating habits.(7/10/11) One Sunday morning I was sitting in church and happened to look up to see a Hardee’s sign. It said “NOW SERVING NEW CARAMEL BISCUITS!” Say what? Do you know that my concentration went out the window? All I could think about was a caramel biscuit. How could that NOT be heaven on a plate? I don’t even remember if I clapped my hands or put something in the offering….I was in a trance. So, of course I had to inquire about this phenomenon. I asked on Facebook if anyone had tried one. I got several responses….some liked them, some hated them. And then came the challenge. “Stacy, you could make something better than that.” CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! It’s like getting double-dared in school; you have to do it….you won’t sleep until you do it. All the kids will call you a weenie. I am not a weenie – I made the caramel biscuit. And I was right – it IS heaven on a plate. So, here’s Stacy’s version of the Hardee’s Caramel Biscuit. [Read more…] |
Gingerbread Pancakes with Apple Slaw
***UPDATE – See this post about our new eating habits. (7/10/11)
We eat a lot of pancakes in this house……a lot. However, I am not going to apologize about it. Pancake recipes just call to me. I’m still surprised that this is only the second one I’ve posted on here. Beware, there are more to come. I just love pancakes – they are so fast and easy and there are about a million different variations. I’ve made Gingerbread Pancakes for the past three years, but this recipe is different. It has Apple Slaw with it. It shouldn’t be a surprise to you by now that I love apples and apple recipes. For example – check out this doozy. The original recipe was for a gluten-free version, but I changed it up a bit to make it regular. To see the gluten-free recipe, go here. The Apple Slaw just makes this an extra-special recipe. It would be great to serve on Christmas morning…..unless you’re still exhausted from putting together all the “Some Assembly Required” toys. Some assembly? Yeah – right. If that’s the case, then you might just eat a Christmas tree Little Debbie cake. It’s Christmas – no one cares if you eat cake for breakfast. [Read more…] |
Bundt Pan Frittata
***UPDATE: See this post about our new eating habits. (7/10/11)I’m notorious for finding different uses for things in my kitchen……it keeps me from buying all sorts of what-nots to crowd up my cabinets. I saw this recipe on Saveur and had to try it. Frittata in a Bundt pan?! Not to mention that I just like saying Bundt…..there are so many fun kitchen words. Have you seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding? “Oh! It’s a cake!” Not this time, baby.

Saltine Toffee
*UPDATE – See this post about our new eating habits.(7/10/11)
I’m sure you’ve probably had cracker candy. It’s delicious! It’s a perfect balance between sweet and salty. Barry just loves when I make a batch. I love to make it too because it’s just so dang easy! Plus, people oooo and ahhhhhh over it like you’ve spent a great deal of time on it. I just love fooling people like that! It makes me giggle…..I giggle a lot. Let’s giggle together! Then afterwards we’ll jiggle together. [Read more…] |
Ode to Thanksgiving – Pumpkin Spice Bars
*UPDATE – See this post about our new eating habits.(7/10/11) Ya know, I don’t like pumpkin pie…..at all. However, when I really think about it, it doesn’t make any sense. I love everything in it – but I don’t like the pie. Ew. I’ll have a cookie, thanks. I realize that my logic is flawed. I like these bars…..I like the pumpkin dip…..but not pumpkin pie. So, this is my Thanksgiving alternative to Pumpkin Pie. Yes, we’ll still have Pumpkin Pie, but I’ll eat these instead. Let’s make some spice bars! [Read more…] |
Ode to Thanksgiving – Sweet Potato Praline Swirl
I LOVE sweet potatoes. I can’t think of a single way that I’ve had them and not liked them. So, when I started thinking about a side dish to post, I knew it would be sweet potato related. I didn’t want to post a traditional casserole recipe, so when I saw this one from Taste of Home I knew it was going to be the winner. And boy, is it a winner. Shew! Even Annie gobbled this down. I can tell it’s going to be a fight for the leftovers……unless my dad is here. He doesn’t like sweet potatoes. One time I made sweet potato fries and he said “Are these sweet potatoes?” I said “Noooooooooooooooooo dad.” He ate them. Man, I am such a liar. [Read more…] |
Ode to Thanksgiving – Pumpkin Pie Dip
*UPDATE – See this post about our new eating habits.(7/10/11)
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday; Barry’s too. It’s a nice, relaxed day when you just sit back, eat until you think you might have to go to the emergency room, and watch football. I’m not really a football watcher, but I do look forward to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. But we’re looking forward to buying tickets for Liverpool FC matches so we can watch the games live. So, in honor of my favorite holiday, we’ll dedicate this week to Thanksgiving. I’ll cover an appetizer (today), a side dish, a bread, a dessert, a centerpiece, and place cards. What fun! Have some fun with me….and you might want to look into renting a dolly. |
I knew this recipe was a winner when my brother-in-law enjoyed it. Let me just take a minute and tell you about Brian – usually when I cook something and I ask him if he wants some he says, “maybe later.” That’s code for, “not ever gonna happen.”When I made this the first time he was eating and eating it…….and he LOVED it! We’re talking about a man who won’t eat anything unless it also includes ketchup and/or cheese. We were all chowing down on it before the main meal. When the meal came, I was full of dip. Oops. To make this, you’ll need pumpkin puree (go here to read how to make your own), powdered sugar, cream cheese, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, ginger, and cookies. You can tell it’s for Thanksgiving just by the ingredients! |
Jelly Biscuits
I love cooking breakfast…..I love EATING breakfast. If you don’t eat breakfast, you’re really missing out. Really. I’m not a liar. Now, I love sweets for breakfast. I am tickled pink with a bagel and banana. Barry, on the other hand, likes a hearty breakfast. If I want a hearty breakfast, I cook it for dinner. Biscuits are usually on the menu – homemade or canned. We like them both…..do you know what makes a biscuit even better? Cinnamon Sugar. Doesn’t cinnamon sugar make everything better? Preach it! Anyway, I came to a happy medium with this recipe – I had my sweets and I served it with eggs so Barry would be happy. I’m a peace keeper. This recipe is so easy you’ll start making it all the time. Whew! [Read more…] |
Yoplait Smoothies
When I first started my blog, I became a member of My Blog Spark. This is a program for bloggers that allows them to take surveys to see if they qualify to test certain products. I was invited to join when I was asking companies for coupons to give out to you guys. I finally qualified to do a test! I was so excited! Annie and I danced around the kitchen. She had no idea why, but she sure did enjoy it. Yoplait wanted me to try out their new frozen smoothies. They sent me two coupons for free smoothies and Kitchen Aid sent me a NEW BLENDER to try them out on!!!!!!!!! Thank you My Blog Spark! Y’all have read previous posts and know how I feel about my blender. Yuck. Let me just tell you that my new blender kicks butt! I love Kitchen Aid! Now I love Yoplait smoothies too! So, let’s make a smoothie and test this new puppy out, shall we? [Read more…] |
Easy Ground Beef #5 – Beef and Potatoes
This is a good ole recipe. One for those people (aka – men) in your life that only eat meat and potatoes. Hi Daddy! It calls for a topping of brown gravy. Barry always sings “Gravy Love! My Gravy Love! I need ya, oh how I need ya love!” That’s how we feel about gravy in this house. You can put brown gravy on anything and instantly make it a delicious dish. Heck, I like eating it straight out of the pan with a spoon. I am not ashamed. Don’t point fingers because I know you do it too. So, let’s make this last ground beef recipe for the week and please all our men folk. [Read more…] |
