KFC potato salad {copycat}

Hello there! Time for another amazing, copycat, KFC recipe! Everyone went bonkers over my Copycat KFC Coleslaw, and my Copycat KFC Biscuits, so I decided it was time to share another KFC riff. My daughter made up a big batch of Copycat KFC Potato Salad for our 4th of July gathering this year and it…

easy flag cake

Hello, Lovelies! Happy 4th of July! I thought I’d stop by the blog and share a cake recipe with you. I whipped up the cake last night, frosted it this morning, and decorated it right before we ate it. It’s super simple to make, and it’s a show stopper. This would make a pretty cake…

alabama firecrackers

I’ve seen different recipes for this favorite snack over the years and never got around to actually making some until a few days ago. Alabama firecrackers are our new favorite snack. They are so addictive! Alabama firecrackers are spicy, crunchy, and totally delicious. My husband likes to eat them with salad instead of croutons. I…

air fryer mini vegan corn dogs

Have you ever made corn dogs? They’re usually greasy and kind of a hassle to prepare. I decided to give them a whirl in the air fryer and they were not only delicious, they’re super easy to make, and a batch of eight mini corn dogs only calls for 1 Tablespoon of oil! I made…

amish cherry cobblestone coffee cake

We’re experiencing LOTS of snowy weather here in Minnesota… today is day 2 of no school. I always enjoy snow days. I cook up a storm, light candles, sit in front of the fireplace and read (and sometimes I write.) Basically I just try to regroup and do what I want to do whether that…

sweet & spicy garlic refrigerator pickles

  We always have a few jars of different refrigerator pickles in our fridge in the summer! They’re so easy to make and are wonderful with salads, sandwiches, as a burger or taco topping, or just as a relish/side dish. Some of our favorites include: traditional, sweet dill refrigerator pickles, refrigerator zucchini pickles, and easy…

kfc coleslaw {copycat}

I made a huge batch of this delicious “copycat” KFC coleslaw for my granddaughter’s birthday party! It makes a ton, so if you don’t need a vat of coleslaw, you can easily cut the recipe in half. I’ve tried using a food processor to make this before and it didn’t achieve the very specific consistency…

palmer house ice cream

I remember getting a rainbow cone at the Minnesota State Fair every summer ever since I was a little kid. It’s such a pretty treat with all of those amazing colors, but my favorite part of this ice cream is a flavor called Palmer House. Palmer House ice cream was originally created for The Palmer…

patriotic salsa

With Memorial Day weekend coming up I decided to create a recipe for healthy chips and salsa featuring Food Should Taste Good‘s blue corn chips. I made the salsa with red grape tomatoes and white navy beans for the whole red white and blue patriotic theme. It turned out so delicious, and so pretty too!…

cherry cheesecake pocket pies

We love these little, portable “pocket” pies for picnics! Just put them in a container that seals well, and place the container in a cooler filled with ice. The sweetened “cheesecake” component of these yummy pies make them a good breakfast or brunch offering too. They sort of remind me of a cross between a…
