Bacon Cheddar Mashed Potatoes – the perfect side dish for every meal! These potatoes are loaded with sour cream, cheddar cheese, bacon, and green onions! So if you follow me anywhere, you know I was in Austin at BlogHer Food all weekend. It’s a conference for food bloggers where we all talk about what…

Creamy Dill Cole Slaw
Heeeeey guys! On our road trip home a few months ago, we discovered that my 4 year old absolutely loves coleslaw. I don’t know that he had ever tried it before but we were at a seafood restaurant in Orange Beach and he pointed to a bowl of coleslaw on someone else’s plate and said,…
Cherry Bourbon BBQ Sauce
Cherry Bourbon BBQ Sauce – delicious sweet and spicy barbecue sauce made with fresh cherries and Bourbon! Perfect on grilled chicken! Happy Monday, y’all! How was the weekend? Fantastic, I hope. I had a very busy weekend. Finished New Girl. Took some naps. Caught a lot of Pokemon. Definitely not ready for Monday! But I…
Sausage and Cranberry Cornbread Dressing
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Hillshire Brands Company. All opinions are entirely my own. How do you take a holiday from good to great? I’m pretty content as long as I have my family, my dogs (#crazydoglady), and really yummy food. I make pretty much the same meal…
Twice Baked Red Potatoes
This article has been compensated by PAM Cooking Spray. All opinions are mine alone. #PAMCookingSpray One of my favorite things about this time of year is the anticipation of the holidays and holiday meals. I’ve had a forever long list of Thanksgiving menu ideas on my desk since August. Last year it was kind of…
Carrot Casserole with Crumb Topping
I was compensated by Nielsen-Massey Vanillas for my time in developing this recipe and post. All opinions are my own. Have you started thinking about the holidays yet? I cannot even believe how fast the year has gone and I feel like fall totally snuck up on me! I had big plans to be super…
Easy Apple Butter
Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Ours was good. Found all the Lay’s Do Us a Flavor chips. Spoiler: the Truffle Fries one tastes just like sour cream and onion chips. Laaaaaame. However, the Reuben one? Amazing. I also decided that it’s too hot in Texas. I’d really like to go anywhere with snow right…
Mexican Rice
We’ve officially been in Texas for 2 months. And that’s nuts. I simultaneously feel like we just got here and that we’ve been here for 10 years. Overall, I don’t hate Killeen like everyone said I would. Seriously, everyone I came in contact with told me how bad it would be. I still meet people that tell me…
Cilantro-Lime Cauliflower Rice
I don’t know if I’ve ever told you guys but I really don’t like rice. I don’t dislike rice but it’s not something I’d choose to eat. The exception being Mexican restaurant rice and even then, I mix it into the refried beans because… that’s just the way it should be done. Oh, and any kind…
Funeral Potatoes
Happy Veteran’s Day! I hope you’re enjoying a well-deserved day off. I wanted to talk to y’all about something today. I think I’m going to skip posting Thanksgiving recipes on the blog this year. I’ve done them in years past and cooking them and then eating them for days afterwards… it really takes away the magic…
Cheesy Quinoa Bites
I have been trying to get on a Monday – Thursday posting schedule for months now but it seems like every week something happens that just messes everything up. My blog went down Monday – my apologies if you were in dire need of a muffin recipe or something and couldn’t reach it – and…
Caesar Pasta Salad
Caesar Pasta Salad – the perfect barbecue or potluck side dish! Pasta with bacon, tomatoes, olives, Parmesan cheese, and caeser dressing. It is really simple and comes together in less than 20 minutes! I made my husband cook pretty much every meal this past weekend. Even though it was his birthday weekend. And I totally…
Zucchini Fritters
A few weeks back Brandy contacted me about being a part of a cookbook review for Faith’s new cookbook, An Edible Mosaic. Stoked doesn’t begin to describe how I felt about this opportunity. An Edible Mosaic is a Middle Eastern cookbook which is my alltime favorite cuisine but it’s not something I ever really cook at…
Baked Sweet Potato Chips
Happy Hump Day! How’s about a giveaway to make this Wednesday a little less painful? I was recently sent a mandoline slicer as part of the OXO Blogger Outreach Program. I was pretty stoked about it because I’ve wanted a mandoline forever but those dang TV chefs had me completely scared of them. I mean seriously,…
Sweet Potato Casserole
Ahh, sweet potatoes – the most important part of Thanksgiving! I love sweet potatoes anyway but the Thanksgiving sweet potatoes are even better with all their brown sugar and pecans and extra extra butter. This version is a pretty standard sweet potato casserole but the amount of topping is so great that it actually becomes like…
