Peach Tarte Tatin

Easy Individual Peach Tarte Tatins

Summer is admittedly not my favorite season. I know legions disagree with me on this, and that’s okay. Individual Peach Tarte Tatins, warm with vanilla ice cream, make the long, hot summers totally worth it. See, the thing is, I have curly hair. Like seriously curly, big, unruly, frizzy-if-you-breathe-on-it kind […]

Beer Battered Onion Rings

Crunchy Beer Battered Onion Rings

Onion Rings in a light, crunchy beer batter are soooo good. I will take an onion ring over a french fry every time. Well, almost every time. If there’s a chocolate milkshake involved, then I’m all about dipping those fries. But, I digress. Onion rings are my favorite fast food […]

Roasted Corn Mashed Potatoes

Roasted Corn Mashed Potatoes

Roasted Corn Mashed Potatoes! I get it, this one’s divisive. When it comes to mixing your corn and your mashed potatoes, the debate has gone on for decades. It’s good, I promise. This is corn and mashed potatoes for grown-ups. Of course creamy and buttery, or why bother? The nutty […]

Funnel Cake

Simple and Delicious Funnel Cake

Some days are better than others, folks. Some days are Funnel Cake Day!!! I have a deep and abiding love of funnel cake. As a kid, I counted the days until the annual fire department carnival, mostly because it was the nearest source of funnel cake. It’s my one must-hit, […]

Corn Dogs

Fun and Easy Corn Dogs at Home

Carnivals, state fairs, amusement parks, the boardwalk at the beach, all of the most fun places in a child’s world, and you can find corn dogs at every one of them! They’re a classic for a reason: they’re kid-friendly, easy to eat, and have the everything’s-more-fun-to-eat-on-a-stick factor going for them. […]

The Best Fried Apple Hand Pies

The Best Fried Apple Hand Pies

Apple pie is All-American comfort food at it’s best. Fried apple hand pies are all of that, in a portable, deep-fried package. For me, these little hand pies are a classic summer fair food and connected to all of the good, carefree memories I have of eating them, still warm, […]

Friend Green Tomatoes

Classic Southern Fried Green Tomatoes

Summer weather is winding down up here on my mountain, and it’s not too long before frost comes to my garden beds. It always breaks my heart to see those tomatoes that won’t have the time to ripen, but there’s no way I’m letting them go to waste! That’s where […]

French Toast Muffins

French Toast Muffins with Bacon

It’s back to school day in our house! My guys are starting their first and last years of high school today, and I’m still trying to figure out where time went. One place time did NOT go is into our morning routine. The 6:30 bus pickup is brutal, and doesn’t […]

Creamy Tomato Risotto with Ricotta

Creamy Tomato Risotto with Ricotta

I love risotto so much. It’s delicious and comforting, a bowl of warm happiness. It’s also very versatile, there are so many options for flavors and it can be paired with nearly any proteins or vegetables. Creamy tomato risotto has to be at the top of my risotto favorites list. […]

Getting Ready for Baking Season

Software Edition Now that fall is here, it’s time to get ready to bake! I love this time of year. I love the sights, the smells, and very definitely the flavors of fall. Getting to the good part of fall baking is easier and a lot more fun if you […]
