Do you love Red Lobster? It's our "date night" place and we really like the biscuits that come with the meals. Well, these Copycat Cheddar Bay Biscuits adapted from The Slow Roasted Italian are BETTER than the ones at Red Lobster. I'm not kidding. My husband raved over … [Read more...]
Cool Veggie Pizza-Church Cookbook Series
I liked this Cool Veggie Pizza so much, I made it twice in the same week! Granted, I may have been influenced by the fact that I didn't get any pictures of it the first time (how does that even happen anymore?) but it really was good enough to eat twice. I found this … [Read more...]

White Corn Salad-Church Cookbook Series

Day 284: Sliced Baked Potatoes
To be perfectly honest, these are getting a thumbs down from me. I think this is one of those pins that has circulated Pinterest many times and seems like a great idea, but it turns out to be a bit of a letdown. I didn't follow any specific recipe, but this pin is similar to … [Read more...]
Day 229: Berry Bliss
When I pinned this, I wasn't even sure what board to pin it to. (I know, I just ended that sentence with a preposition, but rewording it to say "upon which board to pin it" just sounds pretentious. Anyway, is it a side dish? A dessert? A snack? I did end up putting it on my … [Read more...]

There really has to be a better name for this dish. My brother said I should have described it as a really moist corn bread, because trying to explain it didn't sound appetizing. He was pleasantly surprised and pronounced it "delicious" at our Thanksgiving dinner. But I did … [Read more...]
