I am making some vanilla simple syrup today. My kids love to use it in their coffee and we ran out a few days ago so, join me as I make more! This vanilla syrup recipe is so easy and you don't have to use it just in coffee. You can use it to flavor teas and cocktails too! Use your imagination and I'm sure you can find dozens of ways to use it.

Today I am making pepper powder with all of my frozen peppers. They are taking up too much space and now I want them in jars. I have habanada peppers, tabascos, serranos, and jalapenos. I grew every one of these peppers in my garden. I'm learning tons of ways to preserve food from the garden this year and this is just another one to add to the many ways I can keep food from my garden from going to waste. I can't wait to season my food with this new pepper powder!

In this video, Granny makes what she calls Krystal Burger Realness. It's a recipe made with puff pastry, ground beef, cheese, onions, pickles, and mustard. This puff pastry burger is her daughter's favorite, and it's become a regular on the family dinner rotation. Not only does it make a great dinner idea, but it also is great for a teen get together, kids party, or any time you want a quick snack.

Tonight we are making an appetizer/snack that is in every restaurant on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. It's a Creole Smoked Tuna Dip. Everyone loves this dip, even if they don't like tuna! Take this dish to your Holiday get-togethers and the guests will go crazy over it! It's a breeze to make, taking less than 5 minutes and it can be very inexpensive too as you probably have the ingredients in your pantry already.

I didn't feel like cooking today, so I got this pork butt on sale, and the thing nearly cooked itself!
Some days cooking is the LAST thing we want to do and today I'm going to show you how I made a complete meal in one pot and let my oven do all of the work. This was almost an effortless meal! Easy and cheap too.
