bacon & rosemary chicken.....pretty damn good. Found some bacon in the freezer, some rosemary in the garden. Only change I would make is to not stir the bacon bit into the sauce. Rather, sprinkle over top

white chocolate raspberry (blueberry) cheesecake cookies. Made these with blueberry Jiffy mix b/c our ghetto Kroger only had blueberry. Texture of these is amazing.

chocolate chip expresso bars...excellent flavors. I can't believe I'm saying this but I might cut the chocolate chips down to 1 c.-1 1/4 c

made these and they are so good...next time i will use double stuffed oreos.

Fried Green Tomatoes... Really good and apparently fool proof since I didn't screw it up. Served with a comeback sauce.

Like it says in the category, Tried and True.

white chocolate butter bars...a huge fan favorite...my only comment would be to leave them in longer than the directions say to. Second time I made them, I bumped the oven up to 350 and still cooked about 10 minutes longer than the estimated 30 minutes

Emily Wanless somebody made these using chocolate cake and peanut butter chips and said it was equally as good..just an FYI

creamy mushroom soup...made without cream. 2nd time I made it I substituted pam for EVOO, chicken bouillon & water for broth...couldn't tell the difference. One of my favorite soups for lunch. Hearty without being heavy.

pumpkin spice rice krispie treats...made multiple times, great find. First bite brings you back to why you loved rice krispie treats...then the pumpkin spice hits you and you go, "hmmmmmmm, what is that?!?!"

Butterfinger blondies...highly recommend if you like butterfingers...or if you don't

Emily Wanless made these little puppies last night @Megan Ramsay...would HIGHLY recommend them...easy and quick, worst part is making yourself purchase crisco!

Profile picture of Megan Ramsay

Megan Ramsay Oh yea, I can easily see how buying crisco is cringe worthy but it sounds like these are worth it. I LOVE Butterfinger anything!

Rainbow sprinkles cake bars...just okay, nothing to write home about unless you are looking for something rainbowy

oreo pudding cookies...I use this recipe to make a cookie cake (careful not to overbake, which is easy because of the color of the cake...sorry katmo!)

Pumpkin and cream cheese bread. 100ish calories for 2 slices!!! Make it if you want something that tastes like 100ish calories for 2 slices....otherwise, I'd pass and make the full blown version

Made this and thought it was pretty good...becca thought it was a little dry, but didn't dunk it in ranch per my suggestion. If you are hesitant to make your own bread, I think this is a good practice/warm up option
