Southern Sweet Potato Pie

October 20, 2020 by Debbie 1 Comment

This southern sweet potato pie has just the right amount of sugar and spice, then is baked to perfection . This pie is a staple in the South during the holidays and even takes the place of pumpkin pie on some dessert tables. Growing up my mother did not make pumpkin pie during the holidays. This was our pie of choice along with Pecan Tassies. This decadent pie is over looked many times during the holiday , but a really don’t know why . The funny thing is if you love pumpkin pies you will adore this rich and creamy pie. The opposite isn’t always true ..weird but true. I haven’t figured out if it’s a flavor or texture thing. This pie is like mashed sweet potatoes but held together slightly with a little spice, a little different from it’s holiday pie cousin. If you love the OTHER holiday pie you must check out my Pumpkin Pie Supreme, how you can make a plain pie really extra.

Apple Pie Monkey Bread

October 6, 2020 by Debbie Leave a Comment

Apple pie filling sandwiched between tender cinnamon rolls held together with a gooey brown sugar glaze. This Apple Pie Monkey bread is the perfect breakfast for a special occasion. Who needs a special occasion? This decadent monkey bread is perfect anytime ! I feel like I have made this 556 times , ok a little exaggeration on my part. When I was developing and tweaking this recipe I made it three times, which is pretty normal. Baking time needed adjusting and techniques and photographs taken. My SD card that stores all of my photos literally fell apart and all of my photos were lost. I quickly remade several of my recipes that the photos were lost to but this one was the one I really didn’t mind making over again. Just the smell of it baking is intoxicating .

Pumpkin Crisp

September 3, 2020 by Debbie 20 Comments

This Pumpkin Crisp has a pumpkin pie type filling and a spicy buttery crisp topping. Easier than pie this will soon be a fall favorite served with whipped cream or ice cream. While I love pumpkin pie a crisp is much easier not only to make but this recipe can serve a crowd. I have made a ton of crisp in my kitchen, when I was playing around with making an Apple Crisp I incorporated crushed ginger snaps in the crisp. While I loved it on my Apple Crisp it just wasn’t right and I knew this would be a good combination for pumpkin. Boy was I right , I could have eaten this whole pan. Fall food is my favorite and I have a special place in my heart for pumpkin.

Creamy Mashed Sweet Potatoes

August 29, 2020 by Debbie 14 Comments

These creamy mashed sweet potatoes are savory and slightly sweet. They are rich and buttery , the perfect side for all occasions especially a holiday meal. I just love sweet potatoes cooked just about anyway there is . Believe me I just adore Candied Sweet Potatoes and sweet potato casseroles but sometimes I want something not so sweet , these babies are the winner. Growing up we never had a holiday that didn’t consist of a sweet potato pie and some other type of side dish but I never really thought I would like a savory sweet potato. It turns out I adore the natural flavor , I could literally eat this entire pot of sweet potato goodness.

Cinnamon Apple Crisp

August 18, 2020 by Debbie 17 Comments

This cinnamon apple crisp is full of warm juicy apples and topped with a buttery oat crunch. This is the perfect dessert for any time of year for those apple lovers . I adore anything with baked apples , especially a good apple pie but they are so much work. Apple crisp are so easy anyone can make them plus there is no dough to mess with and most importantly you don’t have to wait for it to cool. I have made MANY crisp in my kitchen and this method by far is my favorite. A warm apple crisp with a scoop of ice cream is just the perfect dessert for any occasion. The only thing that could make it better is possibly a little caramel ganache drizzled on top..super fancy !

Easy Fish Tacos

August 17, 2020 by Debbie 20 Comments

These Easy Fish Tacos are packed full of seasoned flaky fish in a hearty warm tortilla. They are topped with cabbage, avocado, cojita and Chipotle Crema(Don’t skip the crema), even those not too sure about fish tacos will love these . Have you ever tried fish tacos? Don’t be scared they are such a treat . I have an obsession no matter what city or restaurant I am bound to try either shrimp and grits or their fish tacos, I have an internal love for both. After trying so many I have made quite a few at home. For this recipe I used some red snapper I had on hand but basically any white flaky fish will do. For those of you that don’t like “fishy” fish white flaky fish tends to be mellow with a very mild flavor.

Chipotle Crema

August 15, 2020 by Debbie Leave a Comment

This chipotle crema is made with Mexican cream and chipotle sauce . This is creamy and has a kick from the smoky chipotle sauce. The chipotle sauce is rather spicy but the crema is mild and it really helps mellow it out . I created this crema to drizzled on my Easy Fish Tacos but it can be drizzled on just about anything. It would be awesome on a taco salad, or topping a chili or soup.
