Cheeseburger Tacos

We all know typical tacos are made with ground beef, lettuce, tomato, cheese, salsa, and maybe some sour cream on top, right? Well, here’s another take on the traditional taco—how about a Cheeseburger Taco? I found this recipe when I did a review for the cookbook The Taco Revolution a few years back. There are all…

Chocolate Chip Muffins

When you’re in the mood to bake some muffins, these Chocolate Chip Muffins are a great choice! They’re nice and cake-y with lots of chocolate chips in every bite! In fact, they’re so chocolatey, you don’t need a glaze on this muffin because it’s plenty sweet all on its own.

Brown Sugar Shortbread

I’ve made shortbread before, but not brown sugar shortbread—until now! If you’ve never tried it yourself, I can tell you that it’s really good! It’s rich and buttery like the Scottish Shortbread I made during the holidays, but there are a few differences from that recipe—this Brown Sugar Shortbread is baked in one 9″ round…

Loaded Baked Potato Soup

I’m a big potato fan, so I’m not sure why it took me so long to get around to making this Loaded Baked Potato Soup! I’ve ordered this kind of soup many times at restaurants and each time I did I thought, “I really need to make this myself!” So here it is, finally! It…

Cranberry Nut Cream Cheese Bread

I really like making quick breads in the cold weather months because, while they’re baking in the oven, my kitchen gets a little warmer and cozier. The aroma of something baking also adds to the coziness! So I made this Cranberry Nut Cream Cheese Bread—I’ve never made cranberry bread with cream cheese in it, but…

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

I like trying out and making different flavors of hummus. I had bought red pepper hummus many times and thought I should finally try making it myself! This Roasted Red Pepper Hummus has a great flavor—roasted red peppers are blended with tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and other spices.

Hot Cheese and Bacon Dip

This is a great time for making a yummy, cheesy dip, with all the game-watching going on! Even if you’re not game-watching, you may want to make a nice hot dip just to snack on! Like this Hot Cheese and Bacon Dip that’s baked in a bread bowl! It has onion, green chiles, garlic, and…

Lentil Soup with Bacon

I first made this soup on a very a cold, cold, cold, cold day a few years back and it’s definitely a hearty soup that will warm you up! On that particular day, I had some lentils, and I found a soup recipe over at MarthaStewart.com that not only had lentils, but bacon, too—and that sounded really good!

Chocolate Chip Cranberry Nut Bars

Today has been a cold, snowy day and what better way to spend it than doing some baking? I had some fresh cranberries in my fridge and I thought it would be yummy to make something with cranberries and chocolate! There’s a recipe over at OceanSpray.com that I modeled my recipe after. I added some…

Heirloom Tomato Soup

I like eating soup in the cooler weather—it’s great having a hot bowl of soup on a cold day, isn’t it? It just warms you right up! A friend of mine had shared this Heirloom Tomato Soup recipe with me from Taste of Home a while ago. It’s a really delicious recipe and just about everyone…

Salted Dark Chocolate Coffee Bark

On chilly mornings, I like to have a hot cup of coffee to start my day (with cream). I don’t like black coffee or sugar in my coffee, but I love having cream in my coffee! Apparently you can do so much more with coffee, as I discovered when I reviewed Cooking with Coffee a few…
