Candy Apple Pie

It’s such a cliche, but seriously, a slice of this pie is probably as close as you can get to a slice of heaven. Words can’t describe it… You must taste it for yourself.  Maybe I should be calling it OMG Pie! A pie that needs to...

Beef Bourguignon

Beef Bourguignon, beef Burgundy, beef stew… whatever you may call it, who doesn’t love a steamy bowl filled with it on a chilly night?  This hearty version is full of wholesome veggies and loads of burgundy.

TFT Poshtail

Turkey? Check. Cranberry Sauce? Check. Dessert?  Check.  And the cocktail?  Check. Happy Happy Thanksgiving!  You are so welcome!

Rockin’ Sloppy Joes

Sloppy Joe to me suggests a juicy, sloppy, spicy sweet satisfying sandwich. Slow-cooking is in session… a selection from my one of my favorite cookbooks: Better Homes and Gardens, The Ultimate Slow Cooker Book

Homemade Cracker Jacks

No need to “buy me some Peanuts and Cracker Jacks…”. I made a batch of my own! Don’t forget to add a little toy prize in the middle of it all!

Stout-Battered Onion Rings

I don’t make onion rings too often… but this recipe is my go-to for now on.  Crispy, and full of flavor. The way an onion ring should be!
