Sweet Potato Casserole

This is the Best sweet potato casserole I've ever tasted.  It's soooo delicious I could eat the whole pan by myself. Well, not really, but only because it makes a big pan. This is one of those dishes that my whole family loves on Thanksgiving. They would revolt if I ever so much as threatened not to make it.

It's very rich and good and sweet.  If you don't like a sweetened sweet potato casserole this is not the one for you.  If you're used to the standard recipe with  marshmallows melted on top, oh baby, you won't believe what an upgrade this recipe is.

This recipe will nicely feed 12-15......and they will all be very happy you made this for them.  :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Sweet Corn Casserole

This delicious sweet corn casserole has quickly become a family favorite. It's really delicious! The 8x8 casserole barely feeds our family of 4, but, frankly, I'm afraid to double the recipe because if  I make a 9X13 I think I will scarf it down myself! I mean it!!!

This is beyond simple to make. The hardest part is getting the stuff from the grocery store! Then all you have to do is melt some butter and throw a few things together in a bowl then pop it in the oven. Easy Peasy!!!

If you want to feed a crowd you can easy double or even quadruple the recipe. It's great for family dinners or take it to share at a potluck and become the hit of the party.

This is definitely going to be on our Thanksgiving table!

Caramel Apple Blondies

I have been on a crazy apple baking kick. For some reason, I just can't get enough delicious baked apple goods. I have been trying a lot of new recipes in my insatiable desire for apple yumminess. This is my latest discovery. Wow! Let me tell you, these blondies are killer amazing. Seriously! I've baked them for the last two consecutive nights and the whole fam is fighting trying to get their fair share! It's amazing we aren't all 600 pounds with the way we've been going!

This recipe is originally from one of my favorite sources, Southern Living. Then the gal who writes the blog, Half Baked, decided to up the ante of crazy deliciousness and crown them with a KILLER caramel glaze. Are you kidding me!

I've decided to use a modicum of restraint and not bake another batch tonight. I'm just afraid one night will probably only be as long as I can last before I whip up another batch! I guess I'll have to keep having protein shakes for dinner for awhile! LOL

Spice Rubbed Pork with Blackberry Port Pan Sauce

I love everything about this recipe.  The flavor of the pork, rub and sauce together are wonderful.  I make the rub and put it on the pork in the morning, then, dinner's a snap.  The pork cooks quickly and the pan sauce is simple to throw together while the pork rests.

Santa Fe Chicken Stew

This recipe is another family favorite.  It is hardy, healthy and a complete meal in one bowl.  I call that a moms dream come true  It is also full or great nutrition.  In high school, both of my kids, would devour  this.  Hubby loves it.  My son (mista pickey) would even heat up a bowl of left overs for lunch. This recipe was originally given to me by my dear friend, Deb.   I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine!

Pumpkin Pie Bars

These are delicious bars of goodness that have all the flavors of the season.  The butterscotch crumb topping adds an extra layer of yumminess.

I like these better the day after they're made straight from the fridge.

They're perfect for potlucks, tailgating, half time at the football game.....well they're perfect just about any time!  The recipe make a generous 9X13 inch pan so you have plenty to share.

Chicken Tetrazzini

This is it! My fav, favorito, FAVORITE comfort food. Whenever the weather has been cold for too long, or I'm feeling blue or things are super stressful, this, is where I turn. A super creamy chicken and noodle casserole. I know it's a simple dish but somehow it transcends all that and just makes darn near everything better.

Good news! It's quick and easy to fix and will feed a family of 6. Now, for the one little piece of info that some foodies might object to....the sauce is made with canned soup. Oh, for heaven sake, get over it! There's absolutely no shame!!! Yes, I can and do, make a similar casserole entirely from scratch and it's delicious. But guess what, it ain't this pan of lovin' from the oven!
