Sour Cream-Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake

We love coffee cake around here.  Can you think of a better way to start the day?  Black coffee, sweet cake…it’s all we need.   I’ve tried many, many coffee cake recipes and this is definitely up there as one of my favorites.  I love the topping and the glaze.  The cake is also sturdy, but very moist, a plus in…

Bloody Mary Soup

I was thinking the Baked Eggs in Bread Bowls needed a sidekick, especially if you are making them for brunch.  This is the perfect partner to stand next to those cute little bowls. Served in a coffee mug, what could be better. But if you love a good Bloody Mary, this will give you all the flavor, minus the alcohol.  Topped…

18-Carrot Cake

While the name of this cake is 18-Carrot Cake, there are not eighteen carrots in here, nor does it refer to gold in any way, Alton Brown just liked the name. I make carrot cake all the time and I even make carrot cake cupcakes when I’m shorter on time.  And every year, I make a different recipe for no…

Creamy Baked Fennel

I have always loved fennel and the licorice taste that lingers around while eating it. Funny thing, I despise eating black licorice, I mean I almost gag at just the thought of it. But I love fennel in the worst way.  Especially in soups.  I truly think it is one of those spot on flavors that I just REALLY LIKE. …

Bert’s Southern Fried Chicken

Over the weekend, fried chicken was on the menu.  When I thought about making fried chicken I turned to the queen of Southern and fried herself, Paula Deen.  Honestly, I trust this woman’s chicken, it always looks so fabulous and crispy on television. Anyway, I pulled out her book to find this lovely recipe.  I’m not sure who Bert is…
