My love for a pumpkin roll and bread pudding is the inspiration for the recipe. The flavors of fall spices in the tender pumpkin roll cake and the sweetness of the cream cheese frosting are the beginning of an epic bread pudding. Pumpkin Roll Bread Pudding The bread pudding takes on a whole new level of deliciousness using a pumpkin roll cake cut up into cubes, and to add more richness, a pumpkin puree custard is poured over all the cubes. It is served with the Ultimate Custard Sauce, made with a secret ingredient.

Air Fryer Fried Green Tomatoes
These air fryer green tomatoes deliver a crunchy outside with a smooth succulent inside. The perfect summer food you will ever devour. Fried Green Tomatoes The air fryer is the perfect way to cook fried green tomatoes. I like to call them healthified fried green tomatoes. To finish them off, you can sprinkle a generous drop of coarse salt, salty capers, or a few drops of hot sauce. To make air fryer green tomatoes, start with medium size unripe tomatoes. I like to use light green tomatoes that are pale green and have a little pink coming through the skin. They are not quite so sour. Don't make the mistake of choosing green heirloom tomatoes. Green heirloom tomatoes are fully ripe tomatoes, a different variety of tomatoes. I love combining self-rising cornmeal and panko for the coating, and of course, don't forget to double dip to get the most delicious, crunchy outside, divine.

Southern Sweet Iced Tea Made in A French Press
Southern Iced Sweet Tea Made in a French Press is a quick and easy way to make tea using tea bags or loose tea since it strains automatically after steeping. SOUTHERN SWEET TEA A French press is not just for coffee; it is so adaptable even for Southern sweet tea. I love sweet tea, and the stronger, the better. When I think of a French press, I think of making strong coffee, but one day, I thought, why not tea. I have used my French press to make my tea for the last couple of years. I pour the boiling water over the tea bags, let them steep for 4 or 5 minutes, and pour in my tea pitcher with a cup of sugar. This summer, though, I have been adding the sugar to the French press, pouring the hot water over it, giving it a couple of stirs, adding the tea bags, and then pushing the plunger down just below the water to steep, oh my so good.

Crisp Blistered Okra Recipe
Crisp Blistered Okra Recipe is a simple and fast okra dish that is crunchy, flavorful, and not at all slimy. Some like it better than fried. There is nothing like fresh okra in the summertime. I love okra any way you can cook it, but blistered okra could become my favorite way to eat it. This okra is super easy to make and takes very little prep work. What keeps the okra crisp and does not release its juices which can be gummy, is to not add any water (liquid) when cooking the okra. Another tip is to heat the avocado oil, firing hot but not burning, and then add the okra. This renders the crisp outside to the okra and a tender inside. This is also how I cook mushrooms, which makes a great compliment to the okra. Once the okra is cooked, stop stirring it. Continuing to stir the okra will change the texture of the okra, which is why it is best to cook the okra just before serving. The seasoning is straightforward, salt and pepper...
