Home style Chicken and Dumplings

Not sure if anything screams comfort food ( in a well bred southern hospitable way) more than chicken and dumplings. And don't forget to throw in the biscuits baby!
$15 for a big potful.
Again, major steal peeps... That could feed your whole family for a lot less than dinner at Cracker Barrel, depending how many children you have and your level of comfort neediness that day :P

Pralines with Bacon
I know, I know, people are overly obsessed with bacon right now and need to chill. But listen to this...

Pecans? Yes
Caramel? Yes
Buttery goodness? Yes
A salty, savory compliment that perfectly balances those sweet rich flavors? YAAAASSS

As you can see I have reasonable supporting facts for my cave in to the bacon fad. Don't quite agree? Perhaps you need to order some and conclude your own scientific opinions.

$15 for two dozen

06/02/2015

You know who you are. You know who I am. Lets deal.

$15 for a 9x13 tray
Customizable!

Broccoli, Jalapeño mac and cheese. What better comfort is there than gooey, meaty cheesy goodness? And CARBS. Your best frenemy. Of course for the picky people you can just get it without the add ins. $15 for a big ol' 9x13 pan! "Hey, wait a minute, Isn't that way cheaper than a restaurant but equal or higher quality?" Very perceptive my friend...

Well I see that we are all going to be trapped in outhouses enjoying the gray weather and rain for pretty much The rest of the week if the forecast is accurate for once.... Three things I love to do most when it gets gloomy is
1) read an old book
2) buzz around the kitchen
3) eat comfort food
Don't those just sound lovely all meshed together? You know, you could make that happen... Check out the "rainy day specials" and order up, to help you get some delicious deals and help me keep my hands busy! ;)

MMM... Snappy gingers! Don't you just adore that warm buttery spiciness??

Ginger Snaps....

Although I nearly died making these last time from inhaling too much ginger and gagging up a lung, I have to say, it was all worth it in the end when a spicy warm aroma filled my kitchen and I was crunching away on a half a dozen cookies. Order today to get your holiday cheer on!

Russian Tea Cakes/Snow Ball Cookies...

I have still yet to discover why for some reason this seems to be a cookie held in awe by most people. Often popular at Christmas, why not order a few and give a great gift while simultaneously unlocking the secret yourself? Available with pecans or walnuts.

Chewy Salted Caramels...

I used to think, eh... Caramels are ok... NO. You don't know what caramel is until you have tasted one of these buttery gooey candies. Stop lying to yourself about what caramel tastes like, try one today.

You know those creamy sweet mints you could always get from the restraint, and now they never seem to have them anymore, just those boring red and white peppermints? These, my friend are like the good old days.... Rich, chewy, melt away candies. Did I mention they're perfect for parties too?

Butter Mints...

Never again will you need enormous handfuls of those little pre packaged mints you stuff your pockets with after a trip to sub way or chick fil a. Introducing my very own homemade (from scratch) butter mints! I think their pretty much the highest power in the after dinner mint hierarchy. Available in assorted colors.

Pecan Pie...

I think it's safe to say my mother can make the best pecan pie you'll ever taste in your life. Passed down through generations and now handed to me this sugary sweet confection is something you don't want to miss out on.

This is not your average snacking/junk food, far from it in fact. This is tiny nuggets of fluff adorned in liquid gold... Air popped popcorn coated in rich caramel has a special ingredient added to make it less "crack your teeth crunchy" and more "party in your mouth crunchy". It's amazing for any occasion: parties, family nights, or breakfast. But it's best when your all alone cramming as much of it as you can in your mouth.
Enjoy plain or with add ins such as chocolate drizzle, nuts, cinnamon or whatever your heart desires! :)

Easter is one of THE CUTEST dessert seasons!! And I'm itching to do something fun back in my kitchen again. Stay tuned for idea uploads, or don't wait for my procrastination to end, and check out blogs and pinterest to give me a suggestion. If sweets aren't your thing, let's talk savory... How about a lovely Easter roast with creamy mashed potatoes and steamed veggies ??? Mmmm..mm. MMM... I'm being tortured just thinking about all this lusciousness!

Seriously? This cake is filled with milk chocolate chips and topped off with a creamy fudge AND peanut butter sauce. Chocolate cake just got taken to the next level!

01/15/2014

I never thought I was capable of making deliciously soft and buttery cinnamon buns like this. I. Was. Wrong. Even if it did take me 4 hours to make them I'd be willing to do it again if only for YOU to taste something so perfectly wonderful.

12/31/2013

The ever going debate between which is better, cakes or pies... WHY CHOOSE? make the right choice, just get both. Cakes and pies are like the sun in an orbit of special occasions... Everything revolves around them basically. So whether you have a holiday, party or just want a little something sweet around the house, these indulgences below are sure to satisfy you sugar cravings.

P.S. All cakes and icing are interchangeable. If you see a particular icing you think you would like better on a cake ( ex. vanilla cake with blueberry cream cheese frosting instead of caramel butter cream) feel free to specify that in your order.

12/31/2013

Ok you nutella freaks, I've searched for something to give you and here it is, Nutella fudge with sea salt. I can't think of any other dessert that is more "pure" for you than this... Unless your idea of dessert is scooping it right out of the jar?

12/30/2013

Of course Desserts are not limited to the world of cakes and cookies! There are so many other delicious options waiting out there for you to enjoy. This is album includes a few of those tasty creations, ranging from classic to creative.

12/30/2013

Look at how adorable these are! All the things you love about pecan pie and fudge combined into one little perfect bite. Warning, as of now I haven't attempted these yet so I don't know what they're like, BUT how long do you think you'll be able to resist that photo? You're breaking down already... I can see it in your eyes.

12/30/2013

Nothing like being in the house with too many desserts, (yes, I just said TOO MANY DESSERTS) and not being allowed to make more for fear of gaining 15 pounds. Hhhmmm, Something is wrong with this picture. Someone better help me out and order something, so I can get back in that kitchen!!

12/10/2013

Oh good heavens.... This is happening. Today. Cinnamon and sugar pretzel bites with creamy caramel dipping sauce. Someone get the smelling salts, I think I just passed out from sugar shock.

Nutella cheesecake bites...

Hey, need a napkin for some of that drool you got there?Combining two of Americas most popular sweets, these creamy delights are fast becoming a family favorite!

11/25/2013

Please don't tell me you're one of "those people". The one who always brings a plain old pasta salad to every social gathering... No more! How about Spicing it up with a little Grecian twist next time?
