Peanut Butter Brownies

Monday, April 4th, 2011

Yum, Yum, Yum! When I say that I have a ridiculous amount of cookbooks, I truly believe that even that comment is an understatement. I just love them, what can I say? I read them cover to cover just like other people read biographies or romance novels. Almost every single night I end my night […]

Strawberry Pretzel Salad

Monday, March 28th, 2011

Yep, you guessed it! This is another recipe straight from my famous Mae Mae! I’m sure that you are now catching on to how great of a cook she really was. I remember, with this salad in particular, she’d go through phases. She’d make it over and over for a couple of weeks and then […]

Pimento & Cheese

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

Not many things are as Southern as Pimento & Cheese. I know around here every family has their own variation of the classic spread. Our family’s version is from none other than my Mae Mae! I know you’ve all heard alot about her, but you just might as well get used to it because a […]

Mexican Pinwheels

Monday, March 21st, 2011

I originally saw these little babies posted on a friend’s Facebook page, and I just knew right away that I had to try them! Thank goodness she was kind enough to share the recipe with me, and allow me to share it with all of you. This recipe comes from a sweet girl named Brandi […]

Corn & Green Olive Dip

Friday, March 11th, 2011

Let me just admit this and get it over with. I’m a green olive addict. If there were a Olive Overeaters Anonymous program somewhere, I’d need to be the first person in line to sign up. I love it so much that I can eat them just straight out of the jar…and I love them […]

Fruit Pizza

Thursday, February 24th, 2011

Not many people nowadays are lucky enough to meet their great grandparents but I was. Actually, if I remember right I knew four of mine and treasured each and every second I had with them. I remember them so fondly, in such loving ways. Well this recipe reminds me of one of them…my great grandfather. […]

White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

Monday, February 7th, 2011

I am probably the world’s BIGGEST chocolate chip cookie fan on the planet. I could literally live off of them, and I go into withdrawals if I go longer than a couple days without one. Due to this serious addiction of mine, I’m always making fresh cookies (from scratch, of course) to ease the cravings […]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Paradise Bars

Thursday, February 3rd, 2011

OHMYGOODNESS! If you love the ever-popular peanut butter/chocolate combo as much as I do, then these little bars of heaven are for you. I found this recipe one day while at my moms house. When I’m over there I usually pull out some of her old cookbooks and go through them while we chat. When […]

Chess Squares

Friday, January 21st, 2011

Lord help me, I am rendered completely weak when it comes to resisting these little treats. I bought the ingredients to make them back during the holidays, but with all that was going on somehow I forgot to actually follow through. So when I remembered I had all the stuff I just couldn’t help but […]

How could you not love these delicious little balls of yummy goodiness? I am so excited about sharing this recipe with you because […]
