Salted Caramel Rice Krispie Treats I went to a family party the other night and my Aunt Cathie made these amazing treats! They were so delicious and I couldn’t stop snacking on them! I absolutely HAD to ask her for the recipe! Turns out she got it from a blog called Pink Polka Dot Creations. We made them at our house right away! These Rice Krispie Treats are so chewy and SO yummy!...
We’ve chosen three amazing cookbooks to focus on over the next three months, each covering a different region of the world, and all going deeper than just a collection of recipes to make for dinner. (Although you’ll want to do that as well!) Instead the cookbooks, and the authors behind them, show us how these recipes have evolved and flourished under the care of those who’ve passed them down and around their families and communities....
Did you make English muffin pizzas? Or bagel pizzas? A tortilla pizza is the same thing, but made with a flour tortilla, or “wrap” as they are called in some parts. Easy peasy! Want to make your own tortillas? Try this recipe: Homemade Flour Tortillas A cast iron skillet works best for the stove top, as it has a more even distribution of heat and holds the heat well. Once the tortilla is bubbly, sprinkle on the cheese first, and then spread with sauce....
This casserole takes all the joy of the twice baked potato—a creamy, fluffy potato base packed with gooey and tangy cheese, salty bacon, and fresh scallions—and transforms it into the ultimate make-ahead dish. Choosing Your Potatoes I will never tell you that there is a wrong potato (all potatoes are wonderful), but there is usually a right potato for the twice baked potato job and understanding a bit more about them can help you choose correctly....
Cowboy Caviar There are few things that hit the snacking spot like a big pile of chips and something yummy to dip the chips in. Of course, chips on their own are great too. But whether it is salsa, bean dip, warm cheese, it makes those crisp, corn chips even more delicious. That’s where this Cowboy Caviar comes in. It’s so simple! We make a big batch of this for game days, potluck parties, or movie nights and it’s always the first bowl cleaned out!...
But then all you have to do is scoop out the seeds, score the inside, dot with butter and brown sugar or maple syrup, and bake. To eat you can cut them in wedges, or keep them in halves and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. How to Shop for Acorn Squash Acorn squash are winter squash. When shopping for them, choose squash that feel heavy and have blemish-free and mold-free skin....
This Bourbon BBQ Meatloaf takes advantage of all the modern meatloaf tips and tricks, and it completely delivers. The meatloaf is tender and juicy, sliced thick, and it also makes a great leftover sandwich the next day. I recommend adding a little of the Bourbon BBQ glaze to the meatloaf right as it finishes baking, but also serve plenty on the side for people to drizzle on their slices....

They’re kid-friendly (have you ever met a kid who didn’t like drumsticks?) and they even come with built-in nifty handles (so you can eat like King Henry VIII).

To this day, If I were forced to choose my last meal, of all the tasty, tantalizing treats I have enjoyed in my entire life, hands down, my first and last choice would be my grandmother’s fried chicken. My grandmother knew how much I loved it and spoiled me. When I lived far away and flew home to visit, it didn’t matter what time of the day or night I arrived—2:00 p....
You can guess which one I prefer. Why Roast Beef Tenderloin is Ultimate for Entertaining Here is a perfect example of the latter—a beef tenderloin roast. Imagine a filet mignon, but as roast, one that you slice to serve, tender like a prime rib, but lean. Yes, it is a rather pricey cut of beef; it is not an everyday roast, but one for a special somebody or occasion. My friend Kathi showed me this way of preparing beef tenderloin the other day....

This is a dish that I’ve never had outside of my own home. My father claims that there are restaurants in Minnesota (where he grew up) that serve spareribs and sauerkraut. But I certainly have never seen them as a menu item here in California. Too bad, too! This is a perfect dish for a cold winter day. We serve them over boiled potatoes with ketchup. The sweet tang of the ketchup is a perfect complement to the savory spareribs and potatoes....
The roasted tomatillos add a unique tangy flavor to the creamy avocado base, and the heat from the jalapeños and serrano peppers gives this salsa an elevated taste.

How To Keep Apples From Turning Brown The sliced apples will oxidize and turn brown pretty quickly. No one wants brown apples even if they are covered with caramel, chocolate, and candy. To slow the oxidation, squeeze some lemon all over the apples as you cut them. Over time the apples will turn brown—there is no stopping it—so if you plan to serve these at a party, we recommend waiting until you’re ready to serve before cutting the apples....
