Though it sounds disgusting unless you’re from the South, or happen to love black-eyed peas, this dip is quite the crowd-pleaser; it also makes a wonderful party dip because it is so different from the usual appetizer fare.
MFR (Rinnie) emailed me for the recipe (which confirms that it’s good!), so I thought I’d just include […]

Last night, a few of our good friends met for our regular Monday night “meeting.”
It originally began as a “Youth Leader” meeting, and all the youth leaders from UPC were invited for a time of food, fun, and “catching up” on the youth news from the week.
Oh yeah, and we watched “Lost.”
Now that Paul is […]

Okay. So I’ve never been much of a “Food Network” watcher.
I mean, what’s so thrilling about watching someone else cook, right?
Plus, these food shows usually make really difficult recipes with really obscure ingredients from really hard-to-find food specialty stores and require really specific kitchen equipment that I don’t have and don’t want.
But the other day, […]

Since MFA (Anna) likes my recipe selections, and “the guys” can’t get enough of this one, I’ve decided to include this very easy, very good appetizer/dip.
Robin Hinchberger (a friend from Butler, PA) gave it to me, and called it “Hot Wing Dip.” I’ve since seen a few other variations under different names.
It sounds strange, […]

First, let me tell you that this photo is NOT a picture of my black bean nachos.
Mine have, oh, I don’t know…maybe 5 times as much cheese as the ones shown?!
Second, the reason I’m posting this recipe is because it was requested by a good friend.
Third, I think this may be the easiest, and healthiest, […]

An IRL friend, Anna, asked me this morning what the verdict was on the Truly Ugly Cookies.
According to our guests, the recipe for Iced Butter Cookies is a keeper.
The ladies and I decided, however, that it is very much a girlie recipe, suitable for wedding receptions, baby showers and teas. While the men in the […]

I love peach cobbler. I always have.
I look forward each year to Summer, when Georgia peaches are widely available at the grocery store. It makes me happy to round the corner at my Publix and find a gorgeous array of fuzzy peaches just waiting to be picked, bought, peeled, sliced, and made into sweet cobbler.
Yum.
The […]

For our LIFE group tonight I’m making the fabulous chocolate cake that MFK (my friend Kelly) introduced me to several weeks ago. It’s delicious. REALLY delicious.
The best thing about it is that you probably have every ingredient that you will need to make it in your pantry right now.
The recipe is on the back of […]

I’m making Paul’s favorite yellow cake today in honor of his birthday tomorrow (and since we’re having company tonight.) The recipe calls for Eagle Brand milk. MMMmmmm!
If you don’t happen to know what Eagle Brand milk is…well first let me say, “Man, are you missing out!” Eagle Brand milk is sweetened condensed milk that comes […]
