Buckeye Fudge

Buckeye Fudge  is a creamy peanut butter fudge layer covered with a thick layer of chocolate ganache.  This is the best way I can describe it.  Two amazing fudge flavors stacked on top of each other.    Like Christin says, peanut butter and chocolate, "What's not to love! I have heard of Buckeye Candy before, but I have never made it for some reason.  I  can't imagine why.  I first became aware of the Buckeye Fudge version from Christin over at Spicy Southern Kitchen . As soon as I saw this fudge on her website,  I wanted to make it, and I knew it would be perfect in our  Christmas treat boxes. It is absolutely the best fudge. It is close to becoming my favorite fudge, with my Mother's Millionaire Fudge being my favorite.

Jennifer's Tiger Butter Popcorn + Living Letters for Kids Book 1

Tiger Butter Popcorn is a twist on the popular tiger butter candy you see in all the candy stores in the mall, just as rich and scrumptious.    This summer, we celebrated the birth of our  ninth  grandchild. I am continuing a series of posts with my daughter's favorite food, which we served at her baby shower. 

Chocolate Mocha Muffins with Reese's Peanut Butter Chips

I love a cup of coffee in the morning with a chocolate muffin.  They just seem to go together. Coffee with chocolate gives me that extra boost of energy I need to get moving.  I usually eat half of the muffin for breakfast and then finish the rest for a quick afternoon snack.

Honey Pumpkin Cornbread

The sweet, earthy flavor of honey and pumpkin puree compliments the iconic Southern cornbread beautifully. HONEY PUMPKIN CORNBREAD This pumpkin cornbread, lightly sweetened with honey, is rich and moist and has plenty of pumpkin flavor.  It's the perfect accompaniment to any side dish for soups, stews, and chili, not to mention a must on your Thanksgiving table.    When October comes around, I start thinking of all the pumpkin recipes I can make.  Last year, I wanted to make Honey Pumpkin Cornbread but never got around to making it.  For me, making any kind of cornbread other than the traditional is stepping outside of the box, but I must say, it is absolutely delicious. I couldn't decide whether to go all from scratch or use a self-rising cornmeal mix. I always like to use a whole can of canned pumpkin puree. It seems that if I don't, the rest of what I don't use gets thrown away, and I can't stand to waste anything. This recipe is more like a sweet cake-l...

Homemade Chicken & Rice Soup

Homemade Chicken & Rice Soup  reminds me of the days when I would open up a can of Campbell's Chicken and Rice Soup for a quick meal.  Yes, I like Campbell's soups and still eat them on occasion, but I love homemade soup.  The aroma it gives off while it is cooking is comforting in itself. I like to simmer up a big pot and freeze it in quart containers to have for lunch or a late supper. You can thaw it out in the microwave or set in the refrigerator the night before, and you can have it ready in as much time as it takes to open a can and cook it.
