Pies

Kentucky Highway Pie (sometimes known as Kentucky Derby)

Who am I to turn down a piece of pie? Dione had a bake off during the NFL playoffs and shared. Oh how I love when you announce you MIGHT start a diet and how really good food comes your way. This comes from Dione's mama, perfectly handwritten like the good ole days. Enjoy! Unbaked… Continue reading Kentucky Highway Pie (sometimes known as Kentucky Derby)

Cookies

Peanut Butter Balls

My friend Jen brought these to my cookie party, and it originally came from my friend Allison. Love a recipe that is good enough to get passed around!

Crockpot Green Enchilada Soup

It's rare that a friend (thanks, Kerry) sends out a recipe that I follow exactly.   This is a great soup to warm your bones.  The spice is perfect, the consistency is perfectly creamy, and the end result is memorable.  Using mild green enchilada sauce is genius, as it is not spicy.  Enjoy this mix… Continue reading Crockpot Green Enchilada Soup
