I always keep a can of Ranch Style Beans in my pantry. I tend to "doctor" them up a bit. I finally decided to try making my own version, and it was a success. They are rich in flavor with tomato and chili seasoning. Yes, these are Rootin' Tootin' good beans. The best part is-- you made them yourself, and they're very cost effective, too! What is it with my love affair with beans? Do I dig
Vanilla Salted Peanut Cookies
If you love a combination of sweet and salty, with notes of vanilla, these Vanilla Salted Peanut Cookies are perfect for you. I added white chocolate chips and a topping of sea salt (before baking). The oatmeal adds a lovely texture to the cookie. *UPDATE: I have edited this post to delete my long story about my knee replacement. It's been nine years, and I felt it was no longer
Easy Smoked Grilled Chicken
This recipe is one of the least fussy ways we've ever grilled chicken. The bonus is that it's juicy with a beautiful balance of smoky flavor. The science behind this recipe, simplified, is to brine the chicken in a sugar/salt solution for at least 30 minutes, and up to an hour. The smoking comes from using a small amount of soaked wood chips over charcoal. Our chicken turned out the most gorgeous
Fresh Strawberry Pie and a Buttery Pie Crust
This Strawberry Pie features fresh, uncooked, strawberries. The pie is finished with a homemade glaze, made with pureed strawberries. The glaze highlights the sweetness of the berries. The pie crust is tender and buttery-- and has a secret ingredient that makes this the perfect pie crust. I feel so blessed to live in a rural area that grows some of the best strawberries you can find. When
Enchiladas with fresh tomato sauce
Mexican Entomatadas Entomatadas are a "cousin" to enchiladas. The difference is that the sauce isn't loaded with a lot of chili powder or chili peppers. "Entomatada" means "covered in tomato". This sauce has the brightness and taste of fresh tomato, with a mild amount of seasoning. Traditionally, Entomatadas are stuffed with cheese (and sometimes onion). Can you add chicken or beef?
Chocolate-Orange Marble Bundt Cake
This Chocolate-Orange Marble Bundt Cake is moist with plenty of orange flavor. The chocolate marble complements pairing with orange. This is perfect with a cup of hot tea or coffee for brunch, or for an afternoon snack. My friends, at Tate's Bake Shop sent me a copy of their newest Cookbook "Baking For Friends". That means I can add this cookbook to their "Tate's Bakeshop Cookbook", where I
Southern Style Shallow Fried Buttermilk Chicken
Fried chicken is a Southern specialty. It should be crunchy on the outside, with plenty of seasonings, and be moist on the inside. Quickly shallow fried in vegetable oil, the chicken is then finished in a high heat oven. This chicken yielded a delicious crunchy coating. Best of all, there wasn't a lot of leftover oil to deal with. Served with buttermilk biscuits, you'll be whistling Dixie with
Bacon and Cheddar Biscuits with Maple Chipotle Butter
These Bacon and Cheddar Biscuits are slathered with a Maple Chipotle Butter. These are a tender, buttery biscuit with the salt of the bacon, a tang of cheese, the sweet of maple syrup and the subtle heat of the Chipotle Chili butter. Perfection! About every other month, my husband and I make a point of dining at a more expensive "upscale" restaurant that is new to us. I usually
Creamy and Silky Homemade Mexican Chocolate Flan
You don't have to wait for Cinco De Mayo for an excuse to make this creamy dessert. Flan is one of my favorite desserts, because I'm such a fan of caramel. Don't be intimidated by thinking this is hard to make. Just follow the directions, and you will have a dessert that has the flavors of chocolate and cinnamon, in a golden pool of delicious caramel. Caramel is a sweet treat that makes me
