Pumpkin Muffins

October 18, 2017
Pumpkin Muffins

By now, you’re more than familiar with my pumpkin obsession. When I was searching for the perfect pumpkin bread pan a few years ago, I found the most fall-tastic pan from Williams-Sonoma. Attached to this pan, was a delicious pumpkin bread recipe. So, I dug up the tag and turned that pumpkin bread recipe into pumpkin muffins. All too often, I find a delicious bread recipe, wanting to make muffins.…

Rotochick Chicken Noodle Soup: Cooking Through Cravings

October 11, 2017
Rotochick Chicken Noodle Soup

It’s time to take out those crockpots and French ovens; it’s soup and stew season! We love a good slow cooker recipe. Being able to “set it and forget it” is what we love. But we haven’t made a lot of soups. In our latest adventure through Cravings, we made this Rotochick Chicken Noodle Soup…three times! We made this three times because we L-O-V-E-D it! It was everything Chrissy said it…

Black Bean Burger with Chipotle Mayo

September 20, 2017

I just celebrated a birthday and as I get older I realize how the food I eat affects how I feel. As much as I love cheeseburgers and fries, I know I cannot have them everyday. I have two sisters who are vegetarians and one who’s trying to limit the meat in her diet. So you can imagine the pressure I get from them when I blog mostly about non-vegetarian…

Ms. Jackson’s Southern Potato Salad

Ms. Jackson's Potato Salad - LiliesandLoafers

I’ve shared with you before that my love for cooking comes from my mother. My mother cooked almost every night. She would only take a break from cooking if we ordered pizza. Eating out was just something we never did; try booking a reservation for 10 people. All these years of cooking for 10 people and my mom jokes she doesn’t know how to make small amounts of food. Now,…

Tammy’s Homemade Sweet Italian Sausage Red Sauce

Tammy's Homemade Sweet Italian Sausage Red Sauce

Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s homemade sweet Italian sausage red sauce on pasta night. Sunday afternoon, my mom would start the sauce, it would cook for the rest of day and be ready just in time for dinner. Our house would fill up with the delicious scent of the cooking sauce and make us all hungry. It took a trip back home during one of my mom’s sauce…

John Legend's Fried Chicken Wings

Did anyone catch the game the other day? Good because you can fill me on what happened. If you haven’t guessed it, I am not a fan of football. But, I love “game day” food. I love a great dip, mozzarella stick and fried chicken wings. Although I’m not part of the 64% of Americans who watch football, I wanted to find a great appetizer to serve at my Super Bowl halftime…

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love peanut butter. There are a few flavors I could live without, and peanut butter is one of them. If I ever develop a peanut allergy, I think my world would collapse. These peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are perfect for all of my peanut butter lovers out there. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are one of my favorite lunches to date. One day, when I’m running a global company,…
