on Feb 08, 2012, Updated Aug 30, 2023 22 Comments Is it a sign of the times? I remember growing up Mama would fix biscuits for breakfast a whole lot more than she would waffles. Maybe it’s because my Daddy preferred it that way, but regardless, waffles weren’t served nearly as often at her table as they have been at mine since I’ve grown up. But, maybe I should start right now and change that situation....

How to Make Tagliatelle al Ragù This recipe uses a very underrated pasta, in my opinion: tagliatelle. If you were comparing it to another pasta, it is similar to fettuccini. But tagliatelle is thinner and slightly wider comparatively. Combining this delicious pasta with a homemade ragu sauce, your taste buds will soar! Italian pasta dishes are one of my favorite comfort foods. If you like Italian dishes, like I do, then try my Creamy Roasted Red Pepper and Sun-Dried Tomato Bucatini, Easy Chicken Cacciatore Pasta, and Linguine Puttanesca!...
I’m pretty sure that the number one thing I’m MOST excited about for 2015 is moving into our new house. I’m excited about it for a number of obvious reasons (bigger house, nicer area, lots of property, etc.), but what makes me absolutely giddy is the thought of hosting dinner parties. I could barely cook a chicken breast when we moved into our current house three years ago. The idea of hosting a dinner party seemed completely ludicrous!...

Well, you see, last year, I really wanted Cinnamon Rolls for breakfast when my sister and niece stayed over for the weekend. The only problem was, it was already breakfast time when I thought of them. So, I was inspired to make Cinnamon Biscuit Rolls instead!...

on Apr 18, 2012, Updated Oct 05, 2021 26 Comments Okay, so remember that Frozen Fruit Salad that I talked about the other day?

on Jun 20, 2017, Updated Sep 03, 2023 46 Comments Summers always mean cobblers around our house. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but fresh peach cobbler probably gets the dessert vote most often from my family. Since I’m from Georgia, I’m kind of partial to Georgia peaches. Their heady scent completely envelopes you as you walk into the grocery store, the farmer’s market, or even up to the back of the farmer’s pickup truck alongside the road....
Remember how I said I was super sick of Greek food? Yeah, well, I’m over that. I have improved the flavor of a simple pasta and chicken dish. You see pasta and chicken is pretty standard fare. Most people would add a creamy white sauce and call it a day. However, I always need to have 37 different flavors per dish in order to satisfy my highly demanding palate. This is why you see olives + tomatoes + onions + garlic + lemon zest + oregano + spices....
on Sep 04, 2023, Updated Sep 16, 2023 6 Comments Hot honey has become a favorite variety of hot sauce over the past few years.

on Aug 17, 2013, Updated Aug 23, 2019 11 Comments Well, over the years, I’ve found that some ways of melting cheese just work a whole lot better than others. At least in my opinion. For instance, my family loves cheeseburger steak with mushroom and onion saute on a regular basis. We also love burgers cooked on the grill and cheesy chicken dripping with pico de gallo. But, I’ve found that just tossing the cheese onto the burgers at the last minute on the grill can leave the cheese not exactly perfectly melted....
How to Make Linguine Pasta with Prosciutto Step #1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Step #2: Place a skillet over medium-high heat and lay half of the prosciutto pieces in the pan so that as much of the meat as possible is touching the skillet. Lay the remaining half of the prosciutto on top of the first layer, perpendicular to the first layer of meat. Placing the meat in the pan in this criss-cross fashion helps keep the pieces from sticking together....
