This burger has a delicious combination of ingredients with a Tuscan flair. We combined the ground beef with crumbled gorgonzola cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh garlic and parsley and a bit of balsamic vinegar. We served the burgers on bakery-style buns with a slice of tomato, melted fontina and a slice of prosciutto. Pickled sweet banana peppers and parmesan-oregano dusted potato chips replace more traditional pickles and french fries.

You get something that is deliciously sweet and creamy that is made from real ingredients. Yes, it uses sweetened condensed milk which is processed, but at least it’s made from dairy! And I won’t lie to you by telling you that it is an exact substitute for the flavored creamers that you can buy, but it is a good alternative. I use it every day now and keep extra cans of sweetened condensed milk lying around for emergencies. I always use just regular sweetened condensed milk and half-and-half. I find that the half-and-half gives the creamer a thicker consistency. If you use skim milk it will be very runny and just not taste as good… but yes, you will certainly save in those calories. And word to the wise- find a nice glass container or jar that you can store this in. It gets very sticky from any drips, and it settles while it sits in the fridge, so it always need to be shaken or stirred before using (I always whisk it back up, shaking doesn’t get everything recombined as well).

The butterscotch pudding adds the perfect flavor to these cookies. My chocolate drawer was getting too full, I couldn’t shut it, so I decided to do some cleaning and throw in chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and butterscotch chips. The triple threat of chips makes these cookies insanely good! Don’t hold back, make sure you add in the triple threat of chips!

This is a yummy play on the old drip beef recipe my friend  shared with me years ago, and I made it last week as I was using up some pantry items as part of my pantry purging process.

A little gift of sweet sunshine with a little bit of lemon.

All I can say is that it’s really fun to bless others with food, especially when they’re not expecting it.

There’s just something about Autumn that says share.

These are the highest, fluffiest, tastiest potatoes I've ever had. They can be made a day ahead and refrigerated until ready to bake. This dish is Mom's specialty, and we all especially love the part along the edge of the casserole dish that gets golden brown.

One of our favorites!

Cheese. I need to make this bread with cheese. Like enough cheese to cause a potential heart attack. I want to OD again.”
