Eggnog Pumpkin Pie

Posted by Roxanne on November 22, 2016

My mom is a master pie baker. She can toss together a piecrust in no time and add the most scrumptious fillings that easily are blue ribbon winners at the fair. She taught me early on not to mess with tradition. Her tradition on pumpkin pie is that it is pretty dang hard to beat the recipe on the Libby’s® 100% pumpkin can. You know your mother is always right and she didn’t miss the mark on this advice that she passed on to me. Each year around this time, that is the recipe that I faithfully followed and the results were 5 star.

Fast forward a few years and I had the privilege of traveling with the Southern Living Magazine Cooking school throughout the south.What a great gig that was and I could write a book on the many adventures that we enjoyed while traveling and cooking our way through the South. One Fall Cooking School Season, we presented a new spin on pumpkin pie. [Read more…]

Cheesy Corn Cornbread

Posted by Kathy on October 25, 2016

There is just something about fall. If you know us, it is the season for us to be out and about at shows and holiday events to meet you and talk about our Slow Cooker Cake Mixes. This year, it is also the season for us to finish a new cookbook. Whew!

We have had the most beautiful, mild fall—with warm, sunny days. The weather is kind of a tease, or a maybe it is just hiding what is to come. We know cold, snowy days will come soon enough. To chase that chill, and to enjoy a bit of comfort at the dinner table, we turn to lots of soups, stews, chili, tacos and everything warm for dinner. It seems when days get busier, a bowl of soup, like Roxanne’s recipe last week, or this Texas Style Soup seem perfect. Chili, like this one, is the ideal dinner for any fall night.

But what do you serve with chili? This Cheesy Corn Cornbread is the yummy, easy answer. [Read more…]

Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Posted by Roxanne on October 10, 2016

Soup! It’s what’s for dinner more days than not when the temperature begins to plummet and the busyness of October, November and December appear. I’ll be honest, the temperature doesn’t even need to plummet for me to enjoy a delicious bowl of soup. There are as many great tasting soups as there are books written about the subject. I tend to enjoy the same few over and over. [Read more…]
