Growing up we always had the pre-made store bought version of Pimento Cheese to put on our Pimento Cheese sandwiches, but a few years ago I started to make it from scratch every once in a while. This is the best recipe I have come up with and the pepper jack cheese gives it a nice kick.
Yeast Biscuits a.k.a. Candy Bread
I’ve always enjoyed the Sister Schubert’s Parker House Style Rolls that you can get in the frozen foods section at the grocery store, but came across this recipe in Southern Living magazine for the exact same thing. These biscuits are amazing to say the least and go great with my homemade apple butter.
Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad
As a kid I never realized that this had to have been my mom’s secret way of getting us to eat our vegetables. This dish was always a requested item at the many family reunions and covered dish dinners we attended growing up. I’m not sure if it was the bacon or the dressing that got me hooked, but I still enjoy this recipe.
Shredded Chicken Tacos
These shredded chicken tacos are seasoned perfectly and will give any food truck or Mexican restaurant taco a run for it’s money (and they’re cheaper to make too).
Roasted Cauliflower and Garlic Soup
The holiday season is the perfect time to try out new recipes and this soup is sure to please the taste buds. This Roasted Cauliflower and Garlic Soup has a smooth texture and a rich flavor.
Cinnamon Sugar Candied Pecans
These Cinnamon Sugar covered pecans are ridiculously good with a perfect blend of sweet and salty tastes mixed with cinnamon and vanilla accents. We love pecans in our house and use them for snacks, salad toppings, and the occasional pecan pie.
Popcorn Cake – Fall/Thanksgiving Edition
Ah, the oh so famous Portaro family popcorn cake recipe. Handed down from generations to enjoy at picnics, family gatherings, and bake sales. This can be made with any color of M&M’s but for this version we used the M&Ms Fall Colors Mix.
Pan Roasted Ribeye with Stir Fry Bell Peppers and Onions over Rice
I’ve been making a variation of this since my days in college. Its super easy to make and is a favorite in our household.
French Toast
This was one of my favorite breakfast meals growing up and still is today. Its quick and easy and always a winner with the kids (assuming they aren’t aware that we have waffle mix in the cabinet).
