Warmer weather always makes me want to bring out the grill. I found this recipe for Pineapple Chicken Bites and couldn’t wait to try them. You cook them on skewers; you guessed it, on the grill. Pineapple is one of my favorite fruits to eat and cook with. You use pineapple juice in the marinade for this recipe. These Pineapple Chicken Bites, like a lot of the recipes I make, are really easy to cook, but flavorful.

I love trying out fajita recipes, mainly because I love fajitas. This recipe for Chicken Fajitas calls for half of a packet of fajita seasoning. I like my fajitas a little more subtly flavored and I’ve found that using the entire packet makes the meat over seasoned for my tastes.

This recipe for Blackberry Breakfast Cake actually began as Blueberry Breakfast Cake and it can be used with almost any fruit. This would be a great hostess gift or an easy breakfast for when you have company. The cake is soft and crumbly without being dry and has a slight kick that could only be accomplished with buttermilk. It really is one of my new favorite recipes.
When I was a kid, my family lived in Florida. Thinking about those years always conjures up memories of food. Fried okra from the Geneva gas station, fresh oranges, crab cakes, shrimp scampi and, one of my favorites, boiled peanuts. If you’ve never had boiled peanuts before, you’re probably thinking: “Tara, why would I boil […]
I decided to give this recipe for Hot and Sweet Drumsticks a whirl. I was a little skeptical about the apricot preserves and I had to make a quick trip to the store to pick up a jar, but boy was it worth it. I don’t know what kind of magic is in that little jar of apricot preserves but I’m not asking any questions. These drumsticks were fantastic, sweet with a spicy kick. I highly recommend them.
