Lemon Buttons
While I love to cook, it is no secret that I am not a fan of baking. I CAN bake, it just isn’t my favorite thing to do. It is more of a science that cooking. With cooking I can experiment and throw whatever suits my fancy together and add a pinch of this and [...]
Orange Glazed Carrots
This is a favorite side around here. We just love it beyond what words could describe. It is super easy to make and is also really quick for those nights when you need to throw something together for the family or to impress unexpected guests. I ALWAYS keep several cans of carrots on hand just [...]
Strawberry Bread
When I make this bread it gets really quiet around my house. That means I make it often! Quiet around this place is SACRED! Usually there is a dull roar. But a roar none-the-less. And at times it is louder around here than a rock concert. So if I make something where everyone just sits around [...]
Iron Skillet Pork Chops With Muscadine Glaze
Recently when I was at the National Cornbread Festival I came across a booth that was selling Muscadine Juice. Not wine…JUICE! I was so thrilled…and then I tasted it. OhhhMyStinkinHeck, that is the best stuff I think I have ever put in my mouth. As a kid I can remember being at my grandparents house [...]

Happy Mardi Gras!!

mardi-gras

At one point in our lives we all took a family vacation to New Orleans. Now, it wasn’t at Mardi Gras time and we thought it would be a fun family time…boy were we ever in for a shock. It doesn’t matter at what time of the year you go, New Orleans is a party town. A young Tate (he was probably around 8) got a large education. He learned all about the female anatomy during that trip. You should have seen his face at every corner we turned. And the human statues…they are just CREEPY. Of course this was all before Hurricane Katrina hit and I can’t say how things are this day and time but I would never recommend going to New Orleans for a family trip. We stayed one day and moved on. We weren’t looking for park model homes, just a nice family vacation in one of this country’s most famous cities…what we found was a park alright, a park for adults. However…

…My friend Chef Lewis LOVES Mardi Gras. He kept telling me about this dip that his Nana Mary makes that is out of this world good. It is a Mardi Gras tradition at their house each year and he wanted to share it with all of you to celebrate this Fat Tuesday:

This is a Naw’lins classic for your Mardi Gras party

10 OZ. Mint Jelly
4 Oz. Prepared Horseradish
8 Oz. Block of Cream Cheese

Apple Cream Cheese Danish

It is hard to beat a good cheese danish. Unless it is an APPLE Cream Cheese Danish!

Yummy!!

And I highly suggest that you try it while it is still slightly warm. Be prepared, this dish is addictive. It is hard to stay away and it never lasts very long in my house. I made it once to take to a friends house after they had a death in the family and when I went in get it to deliver I found half of it gone. Darn kids!

One of the great things about this is that you can use different fruits or no fruit at all! It is very versatile.
