When You REALLY Want To Make An Impression

Wow. That’s all I can pretty much say about this yummy chocolate cheesecake. This masterpiece is everything you can ask for a dessert, and more!

I am wildly impressed as you should be, too. From the way the chocolate is implemented into the recipe to the tender cream cheese… my heart has been skipping beats since I first laid eyes on this yummy cake.

Isn’t it funny how cheesecake is called a “cake” but looks more like a pie? I think it is due to its richness that it is called a cake. I don’t know of too many pies that are as rich and taste bud tantalizing as cheesecake, especially chocolate cheesecake. You’re really going to love this recipe. Don’t forget to leave me a message in the comments as to how your cheesecake turns out. Enjoy!

This Casserole Is Sure To Be a Hit With Your Family And Friends

I am a Northerner, through and through, but I absolutely LOVE Southern food. I mean, I’d be in complete denial if I were to say that the Southern folks didn’t know how to cook.

From casseroles to amazing entrees our friends from the south were blessed with magical cooking hands. That is why I’m totally on board with giving this grits and greens casserole a shot. It looks unbelievably creamy and it has bacon in it. Score! I think it will make a wonderful addition to my holiday table.

The robustness of this recipe makes it a wonderful addition to any meal. It’s quite filling, so a little goes a long way. I’ve had great success dividing the dish before baking and then freezing it. Simply add the bacon and cheese when you’re ready to do the final baking. I always add a little more bacon when I make this dish (I’ve done 2 practice runs and each time the casserole comes out divine.) My husband and kids are big bacon and cheese eaters so they barely noticed the greens in this casserole. Yay!

Have you ever gotten your hands on an old cookbook and checked out some of the recipes?

I love looking through my grandmother’s cookbooks from back in the day. People seemed to eat so differently during the 50s, 60s, and 70s.

Lots of home cooked meals, no preservatives, and very wholesome ingredients. I wish our society was more like that today! That’s why this recipe for old-fashioned pumpkin applesauce bread caught my eye.

It’s something my grandma used to make and I absolutely loved it! The thing about vintage recipes is that they are generally simple, just like this pumpkin applesauce bread recipe. There’s nothing weird in it and you can certainly pronounce all of the ingredients. That’s always a good thing!

I mean, just look at the back of food packages these days and see if you can pronounce or identify even half of the ingredients listed. It’s crazy! Anyway, I know you and your family will enjoy this moist, sweet bread 🙂

I love pumpkin flavored everything and I’m always sad when the season ends, and it’s Christmas time and flavors change.

I love pumpkin lattes, salted caramel, apple cinnamon and more. I dive right into the fall recipes with fervor and cook, bake, boil and fry away happily as the leaves begin to change color and drift outside my window. It’s simply lovely! Get on your boots and hoodie and head out to the farm to get some fresh apples and of course a pumpkin for this recipe! You can also get canned pumpkin, it’ll still be amazing! I like to stock up on canned pumpkin and keep it on hand because you can even put it in your coffee! Trust me it’s phenomenal.

These doughnut muffins make a great snack or breakfast to grab and go during a busy week. They are super moist and full of all your favorite fall flavors.

I don’t care what anyone says; to me, every season is pumpkin season!

I just can’t get enough of it and that’s why I probably make my friends and family sick (or at least a little bored) with all of my pumpkin-flavored dishes. It’s such a versatile ingredient! It doesn’t really matter if you’re looking for a recipe for dinner or dessert – if pumpkin is involved, you’ll definitely find something.

This one is something I had never made or even tasted before. I don’t even know how that’s possible, since I’ve made so many different cobblers lately. But I had never tried a pumpkin cobbler so it was about time! The recipe was so simple it only took me a few minutes to prepare. I almost want to call this a dump and bake recipe, but since you do need to slightly beat the eggs first, I guess it wouldn’t qualify for a dump cake!

This is probably the sappiest story that I will ever write, but it’s true—pumpkin pancakes saved my heart.

It happened a few days ago, when my boyfriend’s parents suddenly decided to pay their second-to-the-youngest son and her weird girlfriend a visit for the first time. I was panicking. It was the first time that I would get to meet them in person, and my boyfriend wouldn’t be home until the next day because of work. I was the only one there to face the firing squad. I meant the hungry squad. Fortunately, even though there was that little tension, they were really kind. His mom was very sweet and very warm southern and his dad has the heartiest, friendliest laugh. Still, I felt like I was being observed in silence.

We had a nice afternoon. His mom told me a lot of embarrassing childhood stories about him, which was a must-tell whenever you meet your son’s “other half” and we had a bit of a kitchen talk. His Mom insisted to cook dinner for us and I allowed her. She taught me a few things that blew me away. That night, with a serious tone, she asked if I could cook breakfast for all of us. I agreed, of course, and spent the whole night thinking about what to prepare.

I felt like it was a test; if I could feed his son and her future grandchildren. Mom saved me by telling me to make simple pancakes for breakfast, but with a twist. It was then that I remembered how his mother loved pumpkins. The next day, when my boyfriend finally joined us for breakfast, I swear she was extra warm towards me. I even received a warm hug before they left. I swear it was those fluffy moist pancakes that saved the day!

Such a sweet treat for the holidays. These cookies bring back so many memories.

When I was a little girl our church would host an annual Christmas program. After the program, everyone would gather in the foyer for refreshments. There were always plates upon plates of cookies. Peanut butter cup cookies were always there and they were usually made by my mother.

Even though I had been sampling them all day while mom was making them they were always the first cookie I’d grab after the program. I LOVED mom’s peanut butter cup cookies and I still do.

This year, I’ll be making these yummy cookies for myself and taking them to my church’s cookie exchange.

Anyway, I bet you are biting at the bit to get the details of this amazing recipe, right? Without further ado, please hop on over to the next page for the ingredients and instructions. Enjoy!
