My inspiration for Gold Medal Dark Chocolate Pecan Pie is that I am kind of obsessed with old school recipes. I recently came across this 1953 advertisement for Betty Crocker’s Chocolate Brownie Pie, which was originally published in House & Garden magazine. It sounded like my kind of pie (gooey brownies in a pie crust, anyone?), so I set out to recreate it. The first test-run tasted pretty good, actually, but
Perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Day, and even Easter Sunday, these Yam Good Sweet Potato Sticky Biscuits are so versatile! I usually serve these as a sweet side item for a holiday meal, but this recipe also makes a fantastic dessert–just add some vanilla ice cream on top! My personal preference–and it’s more of a necessity on some mornings than a preference–is to warm up a few leftover Sweet
It’s high time for a zesty chicken recipe! I admit that I am quite obsessed with the flavors of Mexican chorizo sausage, which I have featured in recipes here, here, and here, but I want to reassure you that I do eat chicken, too. In fact, roasted chicken drumsticks and thighs are my easy go-to meal when I need to quickly feed a household of boys (husband included). Enter, Sweet Fire Chicken
This recipe is a deliciously dark chocolate Brownie Crunch Ice Cream Cake that takes me back to my childhood. Back in the day, my mom would stop by our small town Dairy Queen to pick up an ice cream cake for a special occasion. She would serve it up to her (adorable) children, and then we would celebrate! Dairy Queen filled their ice cream cake with some sort of crunchy
Things have been a little loco around here lately with the kids out for summer, our move into a new home, and a fun-filled family vacation in the Florida Keys. So I was thinking, why not add a little something different to my dinner menu to go with all this crazy? Introducing, ¡Loco! Fried Rice with Mexican Chorizo Sausage! ¡Loco! Fried Rice with Mexican Chorizo Sausage has all of the
This potato salad recipe is kind of a big dill. Remember your granny’s old fashioned potato salad? This is that–but all dressed up for a night out. You could call this dill potato salad fancy. But fancy in the sense of Reba McEntire’s 90s hit, Fancy. You know which song I’m talking about. That poor, coming of age country girl who slides into that satin dancin’ dress to “start movin’ uptown”
Edgar Allan Poe‘s gallant knight may not have ever found his elusive land of Eldorado, but I’ve got something better for the poor old chap– Eldorado on a plate! That’s right, these El Dorado Enchiladas are the edible city of gold. A plateful will have you, and that very determined knight, singing gaily once again. If you actually clicked on the links above, then you may very well be a
Beach days, pool parties, boat trips, and barbecues are what Florida living is all about. When summertime weather heats up, you’ve got to find ways to cool down. Okay, skinny dipping in the pool is quite refreshing, but if your neighbor Duckie is (coincidentally?) trimming his hedges again this weekend, you might want to go for this Cherry 7 Up Salad instead. Fluffy and fruity, my Cherry 7 Up Salad is a Pretty in Pink Summer

These Caramel Macchiato Brownies are filled with Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa and real ground espresso. They’re dark, bold, and rich. Just how I like my man. Lucky for me, my husband fits all three criteria at least once a year (usually in late summer on a boat somewhere in the Florida Keys, when he’s had a few rum and Cokes, and after I just got my nails and hair did due to a month-long gig he worked in May). I cherish
