It’s hearty and very fall/winter-ish; it would be great on a Thanksgiving table. It involves wild rice, greens, caramelized onions, a nutty cheese and breadcrumbs and it makes a spectacular amount of gratin. When we make it at home, we reheat it for a few nights as a dinner side-dish and everyone inhales it. It’s warm and filling and I hope you will love it too.

This may sound strange, but don’t judge until you’ve tried them. I made them for our Super Bowl Party in January and they were a crowd favorite! Everyone kept saying, “HOLY COW… what is in these?!!?!” and my response surprised every. single. one. of them. Nobody could believe it was a 3 ingredient appetizer!

Easy: Check.

Savory: Check.

Bacon: Double Check!

Everything is better with bacon. Am I Right?!

Yum!

This recipe is from the January 2012 Southern Living magazine.  I made a note to try this back in January, and I am kicking myself for waiting so long.  This was SO DANG GOOD!  I mean really, really, really good.  I want to eat this every day! This makes enough for about 6 people.  We ate it for dinner and I ate leftovers for lunch.  It was just as good reheated.  I could eat this every week.  I can't stop thinking about it!  Make this ASAP; I promise you will love it!

This is moist, flavorful, slightly crunchy chicken. This is so flavorful and delicious! The chicken was so juicy and it was super simple to whip up.

The corn is just bursting with sweetness this time of year. There is no reason not to head to the nearest farmer’s market, grab some fresh corn, and make this simple dish for dinner tonight. No reason at all, quit arguing, don’t make me ground you.

This is the iconic, beloved, comfort food of England: crispy cod or haddock and crunchy French fries with the traditional accompaniments of creamy, briny tartar sauce and malt vinegar.

Cute as a button... and tasty too! These are a simple, bite-size appetizer. I like to double the amount of filling to make sure there's plenty for each little 'mater.

 I made this bread slash cake slash cake slash bread right before I left on vacation. So I had to like, eat a lot of it so it wouldn’t go to waste. And about halfway through, I just started scraping at the bottom with a fork, devouring all of the caramely and sugar-crusted bananas.

This was a wise, wise choice my friends. For once, I did something right.
