Cranberry Orange Cheesecake
If you need a great dessert option for a Christmas Party or family gathering, look no further! This cheesecake is the perfect combination of tart/sweet flavor and WOW factor. I often hear people comment about how difficult it must be to make a cheesecake from scratch and in my opinion that couldn’t be further from…

Ode to OTIS
Please enjoy this story from Jim! One of the sad realities of life is the passing of loved ones, and it is with true sorrow that I must announce that Otis, our prize bull, has left this world. Actually, he was our only bull. At the time of his passing, he was roughly 5 &…

Well Looky There
Typically what you’ll find here is recipes. Or food talk of some persuasion. Ever so often though, something pops into my head and nags at me until I spill it out on the page- thus allowing my brain to slip back into food/recipe mode where it’s most comfortable and probably most appreciated. Especially around dinnertime.…

Not so Intuitive
When I originally shared the recipe for this great Fresh Honeycrisp Apple Cake I had never actually taken the time to put the recipe in typical format (ingredient list followed by instructions) and I received lots of questions about details- things like “how do you toast the pecans?” and ” what if the batter seems…

Poblano and Shrimp Corn Chowder
People occasionally ask if a recipe I post is original to me. I suppose they’re wondering if I envisioned it, wrote and tested, then published it. If that’s the case, the answer is probably uh, not really. While I’ve certainly followed those logical steps of recipe development before, most of my recipes are original simply…

Speedy Dumpling Soup
I spent a lot of time yesterday making cupcakes. Lots of cupcakes. And you would be correct if you also assumed that I spent a lot of time yesterday taste- testing cupcake batter, cupcakes, and frosting. Please don’t judge. This is what I do. By evening, though, I had consumed my fill of everything sweet…

Hello!
Obviously I’ve been on a bit of a blog haitus- so Hello! How’ve you been? I thought I’d take this opportunity to post a fun recipe from a few years ago. I looked for several weeks for my King Cake recipe, finally locating it on my very own blog (well, my original blog Mudpuddle). I…

Meet the Freezalator
We have an appliance in our house called a Freezalator. You can’t order one online. You can’t find one in stores. Freezalators are just born. They appear (at the most inconvenient times) in your kitchen and they really never leave. Several years ago when we bought our wonderful home, a very nice, almost new refrigerator…

Hey Hey Etouffee
One thing I learned while living in South Louisiana is that those folks know how to have fun! If it’s not a crab boil, an oyster feast or a crawfish festival, your next door neighbor has made a gumbo and insists that you and the kids come over “right now while the rice is still…

The Devil’s in the Details
We’re talking fun and entertaining and all things food-related, and we’ve made it on the alphabet train to D. It’s already April and we’ve been basking in the warmer/milder weather that precedes the almost unbearable heat of summer. Outdoor get-togethers with family and friends are here at last. If you’ve ever attended a family reunion…
