Hawaiian Chocolate Macadamia Nut Tart

Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie

Bacon Cheeseburger Grilled Cheese Casserole
A baked mashup that’ll stick to your ribs. More or less, this is a casserole that’s made up of a dozen little sandwiches with a filling that’s reminiscent of a sloppy joe but flavored like a very cheesy bacon cheeseburger.

Old Fashioned Homemade Chicken & Dumplings
This recipe was handed down from my husband’s family. It’s a family favorite and you can see from the directions that it is kind of hard to put into a recipe. It’s a lot of work but well worth it. There is never a dumpling left when this is made. I have to call my […]
Easy Skillet Blackberry Cobbler
This recipe isn’t rated 5 stars for nothing, it’s excellent! But, a few changes could be made. You either have to increase the dough or decrease the pan size. I used a 8 x 8 baking pan and the dough amount was perfect. I also added cinnamon to the dough and berries, and vanilla extract […]
