I wish potatoes weren't so demonized. Are they the best carb in the world? No. But are they cheap, filling, and still full of essential vitamins and minerals? Absolutely. Potatoes deserve to be in your carb rotation, even if you do so sparingly. They don't deserve to be demonized and left out of the kitchen… Continue reading Pot Pie Baked Potatoes

Pecan Pie Brownies
Can we talk about how expensive pecans have gotten? I have NEVER seen them this high. I get inflation and all that jazz, but pecans were getting into the "too pricey for me" index years before inflation hit. I don't get it, either. They're ABUNDANT here in the south. Heck, I have a pecan tree… Continue reading Pecan Pie Brownies
Pork & Apple Cottage Pie
The last time I posted a recipe for shepherd's pie, someone from England commented and said it wasn't a shepherd's pie. Instead, what I had posted, was a "cottage pie". So I researched both of the recipes to see if there truly is a difference. It's really just semantics. I found out both terms are… Continue reading Pork & Apple Cottage Pie
Butternut Squash Pie

Do you know where your cherished holiday recipes are? That's what I'm here for---your cherished family holiday recipes, or the lack thereof. I'm ready… Continue reading Butternut Squash Pie
Mini Sweet Potato Pie Bites
Are you a sweet potato or a pumpkin pie fan? Pumpkin pie seems to be the clear winner, with most people making or buying the dessert for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Sweet potato pie, though, started gaining more popularity over the last few years thanks to the famous Patti LaBelle pies you can buy at Walmart.… Continue reading Mini Sweet Potato Pie Bites
Brownie Pie
September means the start of pie season. I guess you could have pie anytime you want, but don't you normally eat a bunch of pie in the fall/holiday months? I love a good pumpkin pie (the marshmallow pumpkin pie I made last year is AMAZING) and pecan pie also has a special place in my… Continue reading Brownie Pie
Homestyle Chicken Pie
You did not read that title wrong. This is chicken pie. Not chicken pot pie. Is there truly a difference? Barely. This chicken pie lack vegetables and a round shape, and those are about the only things that differentiate it from chicken pot pie. I made this because it sounded right up my husband's alley.… Continue reading Homestyle Chicken Pie
Cheeseburger Bake
I'm an avid collector of cookbooks. I'm not picky, either. I'll collect old cookbooks, new cookbooks, cookbooks from recognizable chefs, obscure cookbooks, church cookbooks, cookbooks that are falling apart...you name it. My FAVORITE cookbooks to find in the wild, though, are Gooseberry Patch cookbooks. Gooseberry Patch started in the late 80's as a mail-in recipe… Continue reading Cheeseburger Bake
State Fair Watermelon Pie
There's no bigger foodie paradise than the state fair. You can find a slew of delectable options at the fair. From the classics (smoked turkey legs and lemonade) to the bizarre (beef sundaes and deep fried crickets), the fair is truly America's mecca of food. Every state has unique food options, but I think the… Continue reading State Fair Watermelon Pie
Peach Pie Fruit Salad
There's an overabundance of fruit in my kitchen right now. I'm obsessed with eating fresh fruit in the summer. There's nothing more refreshing on a hot summer day than biting into a juicy slice of watermelon or grabbing a handful of fresh strawberries. I'm particularly fond of fresh mango and peaches. Unfortunately, peaches come at… Continue reading Peach Pie Fruit Salad
