This garlic bread is the garlickiest garlic bread you’ll ever meet. Should you want to repel vampires, this is the recipe for you. Do you see those rich, gold swirls of color in the bread? That’s garlic and olive oil. Have you ever seen a garlic bread that was so infused with flavor that you…
Happy Monday-after-Halloween! I feel as if that should be today’s official title – or alternately, Happy-Monday-After-The-Time-Change-Who-Else-Forgot-to-Change-a-Clock? We forgot to move Princess’ clock back, so she woke up at 4:40 and started getting ready for school today!!! OOOPS! Yeah, we kinda “blew that”…. That’s the picture we used for her Student Council President campaign poster 🙂…
This cheesy spicy black bean avocado dip might be one of the easiest, and most versatile recipes I’ve ever made. I love food that’s a hot mess. Food that is spreadable, dippable, and just makes you feel happy when you eat it. Hot mess food is rarely pretty to look at, certainly doesn’t…
I don’t know if there’s an official chocolate season, but I think the entire month of October leading up to Halloween, and probably November and December and January… well, let’s just call it October through February shall we? Chocolate season is October through February. That’s a lot of chocolate, y’all. A lot of chocolate…
Happy Monday! You should start your day off with some of these Rum Soaked Banana Nut Muffin Bites – they’re scrumptious! How was your weekend? Did you eat anything delicious? I feel I should go ahead and apologize to your waistlines, because this week’s features are all sweets. Really incredibly delightful, decadent, delicious sweets.
Can we talk a little about kitchen magic? The kind of magic that occurs when you take basic ordinary ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, and spices – but what happens once those ingredients are combined is anything but ordinary; it’s kitchen magic. I firmly believe that banana bread and banana nut muffins are made of…
There’s nothing as wonderful as coming home to spider monkey hugs; and cuddles on the couch that include hand holding and hearing “I love you, mom. I missed you, mom” repeated over and over again. I had the most incredible time in Utah at the Better Blog Retreat this weekend, but there’s nothing like coming…
Do you have a snack that whisks you back to the sticky fingers, smudged faces, gap toothed smiles, full bellies, and pure happiness of childhood? Caramel Corn is one of those foods that immediately takes me back to baseball games, county fairs, rodeos, and lazy afternoons sharing bowls of sticky caramel coated corn with my…
Do you remember your first Chex mix? I vividly remember the first salty, crunchy handful of Chex cereal mixed with pretzels and spices. It was intoxicating and completely addicting. Playing with Chex cereals to create different mixes, blends, holiday recipes etc… is something that I find great pleasure in, and I’ve been known…
Happy Monday, y’all! Did you have a delicious weekend? Did you make something incredible and share it with friends and family? There’s a lot going on behind the scenes of A Southern Fairytale right now, and one of these things is an incredible redesign with a new PERMANENT logo and easier functionality for the website….
Happy Monday, y’all! A cool front hit our corner of Texas this weekend, and it had me in baking, pumpkin, slow cooker mode. We’ve made Pumpkin Pie Cake Doughnut Bites, black bean pumpkin chili, and slow cooker roasted chicken. Next up – more chili, taco soup, apple spice cake, some cobblers, and light chicken poblano…
What cookie takes you on a trip back to childhood? What cookie whisks you back to flour coated faces, sticky fingers, and snatching barely cooled straight-out-of-the-oven-still-too-hot-to-eat cookies? One bite of an Oatmeal Scotchie sends me straight back to my Granny’s kitchen. Straight back to fighting with my brothers over pouring, stirring, mixing, spoon licking, and…
