The Best Cranberry Orange Muffins

Cranberry orange muffins are incredibly moist, packed with cranberries, enhanced with a splash of concentrated orange juice. CRANBERRY ORANGE MUFFINS BAKER STYLE These cranberry orange muffins have all the styles of a bakery muffin, a delicious streusel topping, vibrant cranberries, and intense orange flavors.  They are bursting with the best flavors of the holidays. These cranberry muffins are my favorite muffins.  When I'm at the grocery store or a coffee shop, my first choice for a muffin is always cranberry and orange.  My second choice is a chocolate chocolate chip, who doesn't like chocolate chip anything. Cranberry orange muffins have the purest flavor of almost any other muffin.  I want to taste the authentic taste of orange juice and fresh cranberries, not artificial, as the package says, "Cranberry Orange flavor." Talking about the authentic taste of orange juice, well, that is why I use orange juice concentrate in this recipe.  Remember, it is concentrated,

Pineapple Chess Pie

Pineapple chess pie has  all the ingredients of a traditional chess pie except for adding a small can of crushed  pineapple. PINEAPPLE CHESS PIE {Granny's Recipe} When I think of some of the pies that my Mother would make during the holidays, I think of this beautiful  Pineapple Chess  pie, which is  rich and delicious. Isn't it funny how we remember certain things about our Mother's traditions? About one week before the holidays, Mother would set up a dessert table. Do you remember when there were  card tables? Beside her buffet, she would lay a pretty tablecloth on a card table, and as she made the desserts, she would place them on the table, ready for guests to enjoy. As a little girl growing up, I always thought, "That is just what I am going to do when I get married "Have a Dessert Table." Well, I kept my plans, which I did about one week before the big day. Now that I am a grandmother, I love to see my grandchildren's eyes light up when they get

A Southern Classic! His and Her Sweet Potato Casserole

His and Her Sweet Potato Casserole  brings two Thanksgiving traditions together. Creamy, smooth sweet potatoes are crisis-crossed with toasted marshmallows and a crunchy pecan topping. Scrumptious!! SOUTHERN SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE Southern Sweet Potato Casserole starts with baked sweet potatoes peeled and creamed in a food processor with brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon to get that velvety smooth texture. It is  indeed simple to make with few ingredients, perfect for the holidays.   His and Her Sweet Potato Casserole is the perfect sweet potato dish. Half of our family likes the marshmallow topping, and half likes the crumble topping, so last year, I came up with the idea of serving one dish with two variations. It was such a hit that I decided to make it again this year. The miniature marshmallows toast beautifully alongside the crumble topping, and the smooth texture of the sweet potatoes just melts in your mouth. Two Thanksgiving traditions in one fabulous dish!

Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Blossoms

Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Blossoms, sometimes called No Bake Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies or Hershey Kiss Cookies, have all the pomp and circumstance of the l egendary  Peanut Butter Blossom. NO BAKE PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOMS No Bake Peanut Butter Blossoms are homemade candy made with crunchy rice cereal, creamy peanut butter mixture, and a chocolate candy kiss.  Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Kisses took me back to when I visited my sister at her house for Christmas. I still remember looking in each Christmas tin she had her goodies in until I found them. Oh, with the peanut butter mixture and the chocolate kiss in the center, you could quickly go to "Yummieville" (a sugar coma, you might say)!
