I love this time of year…I truly do…but I think we can all get burned out on Chili, Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, and all things pumpkin spice. We still crave comfort food, and filling hot dishes…we just yearn for something different. I know I do. Which was why I looked at the container of Ricotta cheese sitting in my refrigerator and thought “I’ve got something big planned for you little buddy! No red sauce tonight. We’re kicking things up around here!” So we did…I think you’re gonna love this new recipe as much as the folks at this Nest did.
Who loves the crisp golden Corn Dogs at the fair, or the mall? I do, I do! It was one of my favorites as a kid. I still love a good corn dog with a healthy dose of mustard. The key word there is “good”! I recently had a little friend over to visit and all he wanted was a “corn dog”. So I dusted off my family cookbook and whipped up a batch of homemade corn dogs. He declared them “good”! I couldn’t agree more. Plus…They’re the perfect Halloween night snack!
If you love Ribs year round like we do…have I got a recipe for you! Seriously some of the BEST ribs that have ever passed by my lips. I can’t take credit for the recipe. This recipe hails from Jen over at Carlsbad Cravings…one of my favorite food bloggers. I’m not sure I would have thought to combine honey buffalo sauce with ribs…so I’m glad I stumbled onto her delightful combination. I made a few adjustments to suit our tastes…but I give all the credit to Jen for these babies! You’re gonna want these in your life!
I know I keep raving about Fall! I can’t help myself. I don’t know if it’s the anticipation of getting together with family and friends for the Holidays, the Holiday baking, or if it’s everything that goes with the season. Football, Falling Leaves, Pumpkin patches, and Apples. That’s right… Fall means Apple Season! I love Apple Pie, Caramel Apples, and this wonderful Apple Cobbler! It’s simply the BEST! Kinda like this time of year.
There are few comfort foods that touch the soul and remind you of childhood like Chicken Noodle Soup! I’m talking about a thick hearty chicken noodle soup like Grandma used to make. Where the smell of it cooking wafts through the house and wraps around you like a warm blanket on a cold winters day. THIS is THAT soup!
Looking for a cute classroom Halloween Treat? Well…Look no further! I’m turning Potato Crisp Snack packs into darling bats, cute Frankenstein’s, lovable pumpkins, and goofy one eyed monsters. This is a fun treat the whole family can make and one every little ghost or goblin will love to receive.
Hawaiian Haystacks have always been a favorite at this Nest. However, the other day I was craving Mexican and got to thinking…What if you changed out the steamed rice for Spanish rice…and involved salsa and avocados! Sounded like a FANTASTIC idea to me…and it was!!!
One of my favorite side dishes when having Mexican Food is the rice! I love a good Spanish rice. Especially if it is packed with the warm flavors and spices of true Mexican food. A few years ago I came up with this home style version that is so easy and so flavorful! So much better than what you find at your local restaurant. I bet you have the secret ingredient in your cupboard right now!
