As I write this post, there is a photo over on the right-hand side of the blog, staring me in the face, right down into the depths of my soul. It's a photo that I am totally not proud of in any way, shape or form. It's a photo that I have GOT to get...

Chipotle, Black Bean, and Roasted Garlic Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes
I love this combination of flavors so much that I've made 4 recipes now using chipotle peppers, black beans, roasted garlic, and sweet potatoes, trying to find the perfect way to use them on the blog. I've tried taquitos, soup, and quesadillas, but the recipe that really let all of the tastiness shine was Chipotle,...
Crock Pot White Bean Chicken Chili
We're half-way through September and we've got out feet firmly planted in soup season, which makes me a happy gal. Is there anything better than slurping up a big bowl of broth-bathed meat, noodles, and veggies? That was a rhetorical question-- the answer is yes. Yes, there is, by a margin. Her name is Chili. The...
Maple Bourbon Brown Butter Peach Pie
I'm firmly convinced that there is no better dessert in this world than Maple Bourbon Brown Butter Peach Pie. Yes, I said it. I, the fruit skeptic, the haphazard baker, the Thanksgiving-dessert-skipping monster (seriously, who turns down a slice of warm apple pie?!) made this pie twice in one week. It was just that delicious. And...
Bacon Bourbon BBQ Chicken Kebabs
You want bacon recipes? I've got twenty. But who cares? No big deal. I want mooooooooore... I once thought that recipes including bacon were pretty straight forward. You'd just fry up some meaty goodness in its own fat, crumble it up if you'd like, and mix it in. Then I found out about Bacon Jam,...
Skillet Scalloped Potatoes
Put some cheese-covered carbs in front of me, and I get weak in the knees. You could serve up pasta with Parmesan, mac and cheese, or crusty bread with melted mozzarella, and I would dive in face-first with reckless abandon. Cheesy carbs of any sort are just my thang... but the true obliterator of any...
Guinness Beef Stew with Cheddar Herb Dumplings
Rich and hearty Guinness Beef Stew is a classic that you'll find at pubs and family dinner tables all across Ireland. This version features ultra-tender meat, deep flavors, and Cheddar Herb Dumplings that will make you swoon. It's the ultimate comfort food. It's been cruelly cold and frosty for the past couple of days up...
Tomato Bacon Bisque
Many years of disliking tomatoes and an unfortunate encounter with Campbell's canned tomato soup had me thinking all this time that any variation of the stuff wasn't for me. However, this year I decided that I was going to push myself to try things I usually wouldn't, because taste buds change and yadda yadda, so...
Skillet Pumpkin Cornbread with Cinnamon Maple Butter
As you may or may not remember, I finally made my way down to North Carolina this past summer to visit my cousin Ashley and her fiance Evan. I came back missing my cousin more than ever (isn't it funny how seeing someone after a few years actually makes missing them worse?) and also missing...
Buffalo Chicken Corn Chowder
Depending on how long you've been hangin' 'round here, you may or may not remember my Buffalo Chicken Extravaganza last year. Basically, when the Super Bowl was drawing near, I went absolutely balls-to-the-wall, full-speed-ahead into buffalo chicken territory. Afterwards, I vowed to lay off of the buffalo chicken for about a year, and I almost...
