I found this recipe in the Cooking Light September 2007 issue. The recipe is from Jean Patterson, and it was originally published by Cooking Light in September 2003. It was good, but probably not something I’ll make again. I still prefer the classic banana bread.
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour (about 9 ounces)
3/4 […]
This recipe comes from Best-Loved Slow Cooker Recipes, and this recipe is the reason I bought this cookbook. It didn’t disappoint either. I deviated from the recipe to make it my own, and it was delicious. It’s thick, filling, and tasty. The great thing about this soup is that you can […]

If you love tiramisu, you’ll love this cake. It’s super easy to make, and you don’t have to worry about finding lady fingers or mascarpone cheese at your local grocery store. This recipe comes from the Betty Crocker Cookies, Bars and Cakes magazine, but I changed it up a bit.
Ingredients:
CAKE:
1 box of […]

We had quite the fest today. Rather than list all the recipes in one post I’ll post each recipe separately. Since our kids have been born this is the first Thanksgiving we’ve celebrated with just us. It was probably one of the best Thanksgivings ever! The food was fabulous too!
We (more accurately, -s) smoked 2 chickens for our Thanksgiving dinner. They were unbelievably delicious. One was marinated overnight in our favorite spicy bbq sauce and the other had a dry rub. Both were fabulous, but my favorite was the one with the dry rub. The dry rub gave the chicken […]
This is another one of those recipes from my grandmother. The entire extended family makes these rolls and the entire family loves these rolls, and whenever I make them it makes me think of my grandma. In my family, no holiday meal is complete without these rolls. They are delicious!

This is quite the festive salad and goes great with any holiday meal. I got this recipe from one of those recipe cards in the produce section of the grocery store.
Ingredients:
1 large or 2 small ripe pears, seeded and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1/4 c. dried sweetened cranberries
3 c. salad greens
1 TBSP. balsamic vinegar
1 TBSP. […]
Stuffing vs. Dressing: Stuffing is cooked in the bird and dressing is cooked outside the bird. This here is my grandmother’s recipe (with a few alterations by yours truly), and Thanksgiving without grandma’s stuffing isn’t Thanksgiving at all. This recipe has been passed down from my grandmother (haven’t a clue where she originally […]
I love homemade cranberry sauce, and rather than go the traditional route, we opted to make a cranberry sauce with a kick. It was delicious, and our 2 year old loved it!
Ingredients:
1 bag of fresh cranberries
1 c. sugar
1 c. liquid (juice one orange and add enough water to make 1 c.)
zest of 1 orange
1 […]
This recipe comes from the Cooking Light, October 2007 issue. It was pretty good, and the kids liked it. -s said it tasted like red beans and rice, which he likes, but he likes his spicier. So if we make it again, we need to buy regular Tobasco sauce for him to […]
