Pumpkin Crisp

September 3, 2020 by Debbie 19 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 18 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.

Old Fashioned Sausage Gravy

August 12, 2020 by Debbie 8 Comments

Old Fashioned Sausage Gravy is a southern staple usually served with a flaky Buttermilk biscuit. This creamy gravy can be whipped up in minutes and is hearty enough to be served for any meal of the day. This was the first type of gravy my mother taught me to make. When I learned I really didn’t cook, so basically if a teenager can make this anyone can. This gravy was dished up on a regular basis when I was growing up , I had two older brothers and we all loved it. My mother didn’t make homemade biscuits but we sometimes had this served over toast and even a big dollop on some hash browns. This old fashioned sausage gravy is a must when making my Southern Buttermilk Biscuits.

Caramel Ganache

August 4, 2020 by Debbie 16 Comments

This caramel ganache is rich, creamy and so versatile it can be used in many ways. From drizzling on cakes to dipping apples slices in it . I came up with this recipe after having a little experience while working my other job when a recipe called for not 1 , not 2 , but 3 ice water bathes for different fillings for a cake. Using the one ice water bath for this recipe is not big deal, lol. I recently had to alter this recipe because the chocolate company I got caramel from went out of business, it was a very sad day for me. After a little experimenting this recipe came together great with easy to find Kraft Caramel candies.

Slow Cooker Pumpkin Butter

July 31, 2020 by Debbie Leave a Comment

Pumpkin spice lovers will adore this easy five ingredient Slow Cooker Pumpkin Butter. It’s like pumpkin pie in a jar without the guilt , then smeared on toast. I was not introduced to this wonderful condiment until I was an adult . No, I didn’t live under a rock before then . Growing up in Southern Louisiana the food was always wonderful but our typical fall food did not include a lot of variety. My mother doesn’t like pumpkin anything so I was convinced I didn’t either . Fast forward to the adult me ..I love all pumpkin desserts . I still love my old faithful fall favorites like Pecan Tassies and Sweet potato pie but I now include Pumpkin anything in my fall food. When I discovered pumpkin butter and it was a condiment ..life changing . I could have a taste of pumpkin pie almost everyday without actually eating pie.

Cinnamon Butter

July 30, 2020 by Debbie Leave a Comment

This three ingredient cinnamon butter is simple but so delicious, it has the perfect balance of sweetness and spice. A hot southern buttermilk biscuit straight out of the oven with this freshly made cinnamon butter on it is just pure heaven in my books. My little obsession with cinnamon can be out of control at times , I even sprinkle it in my coffee. I have bought many brands and many types , Siagon Cinnamon is the best hands down. It is rich and fragrance and really gives anything you make with is a punch of cinnamon flavor. Most grocery stores have some type of brand , it is a little more expensive but try it once and you will be hooked.

Southern Buttermilk Biscuits

July 29, 2020 by Debbie 13 Comments

There is nothing more comforting than a good old fashioned hot Southern Buttermilk Biscuits slathered with soft creamy butter. Biscuits are the bread of the south and growing up at my grandmother’s house there was rarely a meal that biscuits were not a part of . Just a platter of biscuits and butter placed in the middle of the table . I’ll be honest , when I was young I had no desire to learn to cook biscuits. I mean the ones from the can are good, Right? They are acceptable in a pinch but homemade are always better.
