Cream Cheese Corn

When I first tried this (right out of the pan) I wasn’t a big fan it really didn’t have any flavor to me. I decided to add a little garlic powder to it which seemed to do the trick. Once the red peppers and the garlic mixed in with the cream cheese it actually had a nice different flavor that was subtle but great. This is not something I would make too often...

Breaded Parmesan Ranch Chicken

This recipe was delicious! We all absolutely loved it. In truth I could have eaten another piece that’s how good it was. I never had a clue that corn flakes could taste so good. The only problem I had with this recipe was getting the breading to stay on. When I tried to turn over the chicken the breading on one side came off, then when I took it out of the pan...

Mushroom Canapes

I really wanted to love this recipe but I wasn’t a fan. At first the mixture tasted just like mayo, but once the onions softened up the mayo flavor turned into a nice onion flavor. All in all I didn’t find this recipe to be anything special. My family on the other hand really liked it and enjoyed having it with dinner. I suppose it’s just a personal choice. I...

Microwave Coffee Mug Brownie

Oh this recipe is sooo good! It’s easy and it’s great to make because you eat it, and it’s gone. When you are trying not to over eat on goodies the last thing you want to have hanging around is a big pan of brownies. This is great because you can make it when you want it, then you eat it! It’s also great because it’s a personal size, fresh, and you can add anything...

Baked Pork Chops with Mushroom Cream Sauce

This recipe is very good. No, actually it’s fantastic! It’s so full of flavor and juicy, but rich oh so rich! I am not a huge pork fan but I decided to give it a try anyway, and loved it. I think the next time I make it I will try it with chicken. I have no doubt this will be incredible with chicken. Although there are more steps to this recipe than I prefer it...

Southern Sweet Tea

As a southern girl I have grown up on sweet tea. I know a lot of people have grown up on hot tea but not down here. Here it’s all sweet tea. I love sweet tea. I love it better than soda and anyone who knows me knows that’s saying a lot. When I found this recipe I was so excited because I forgot how important the baking soda is for sweet tea. It’s important because...

Pink Panties

This is one of my favorite adult drinks. It’s very easy to make and if you like lemonade you will like this drink. It’s delicious and has a nice kick. It’s one of those drinks that you don’t taste the alcohol so I suggest taking it easy because it will hit you before you know it. No one wants to catch you in your pink panties! Ha! Serves up to 6 Ingredients: 1...

Classic Pina Colada

This is such a great recipe! Delicious!! I used the concoction maker to make this recipe and it came out great. I can’t tell you how much ice and water to use because it will depend on the consistency for you but if you add it as you need it you will have a great pina colada. A funny question I got from my neighbor once we made these was.... why aren't they white?...

Strawberries and Coconut Cream

Ingredients: ½ can coconut milk (chilled overnight) 12 ounces quartered strawberries 6 tbsp. sweetened coconut flakes Stevia (as needed) Directions: Chill coconut milk overnight. Washer, remove tops, and quarter strawberries and set aside. To a mixer or using a hand mixer add ½ can of coconut milk and...

(Not So...) Wordless Wednesday: Entero Somewhere Elso

I found humor in this picture because this would be most people I know trying to communicate with someone who doesn't speak English. Ha! I don't think this is going to help anyone, but I thought it was funny that someone would even bother to write this lol. I have known plenty of people who didn't speak English very well but I certainly don't think this would have...

Cowpoke Casserole

I found two recipes that had the same similar concept and similar ingredients but they were both completely different. I loved the idea of both of them so I took what I liked about each recipe and combined them together. What came of the two was an incredible recipe that my entire family loved. The recipe calls for a 9x13 pan which is normally way too much food...
