Bacon & Onion Finger Sandwiches

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

Here in the deep South, it’s very rare that you attend a gathering where there isn’t some sort of finger sandwich tray. We love our sandwiches down here, but what we love even more is tiny sandwiches that are filled with yummy things like bacon and cheese. What’s not to love? Every good Southern cook […]

Margaret’s Fruit Dip

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

I know I already posted a fruit dip recipe, but this one got such rave reviews that I had to post it also. After all, one can never have too many creamy ways to fatten up delicious, healthy fruit, right? So this recipe comes to you from my aunt, Margaret. Not Aunt Margaret, just Margaret. […]

Cake Batter Ice Cream

Thursday, June 2nd, 2011

We live in Mississippi and when I say it’s hot, it’s friggin’ HOT! We completely skipped past Spring altogether. It’s supposed to hit 100 degrees today, and I would not be one bit surprised if it just bypassed 100 and hit 105! I love living in the South just as much as any good Southern […]

Peanut Butter Cheesecake Swirl Brownies

Friday, May 20th, 2011

Oh my heavens, this is probably one of the most delicious things that has ever come out of my oven! You all know about my crazy obsession with peanut butter and chocolate desserts, right? When I saw this recipe, I knew right away that I just had to make it. Unfortunately I saw it about […]

Favorite Fruit Salad

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

I call this recipe Favorite Fruit Salad, because it’s just that…everyone’s favorite fruit salad. My husband is the only one that I know that has ever tasted this yummy treat and not liked it. But then again, he’s a little weird so that doesn’t surprise me. HA! Anyway, this is another simple dish that you […]

Mississippi Caviar

Monday, May 16th, 2011

Did you guys miss me the last couple of weeks? Sorry for not posting, but at least I have a good excuse. I was in Boston with my little HERO (my son) while he underwent numerous procedures and his 17th surgery. We had access to a kitchen, but needless to say cooking was not high […]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Bars

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

Are you sick of dessert recipes yet? No???? Well, here’s another one then! We leave for Boston again in just a few short days and I’m trying to avoid going to the grocery store and leaving unused groceries here while when we head out, so I’m using up all the stuff in my freezer. Which […]

Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

I won’t deny it. I’m wholeheartedly a chewy cookie person! Don’t give some crunchy dry cookie! Give me the real deal…a chewy, thick bakery style cookie that is melty and gooey! If you fall into the same category as me, you’ll love these little squares. The other day I was in a hurry and was […]

Creamy Fruit Dip

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

In this photo once again, you’ll see those yummy Louisiana strawberries. Can you tell I’m a bit obsessed? All winter long I went without eating my favorite fruit because they were so dang expensive, and now that the local farmer’s market has had them I just can’t get enough! When I was doing Weight Watchers […]

Cream Cheese and Pepper Jelly

Friday, April 8th, 2011

I know this isn’t so much a “recipe” as it is an idea, but it still qualifies to be posted here in my humble opinion. This is one of those all-time favorite Southern appetizers that can be found on almost any buffet table, wedding reception, birthday party, pretty much any gathering you can imagine. I […]
