I want to preface this by saying that I am NOT a wine connoisseur in any way shape or form.  Most of the wine that I would consider to pair with swine would be that of a pork tenderloin or perhaps a nice cut of pork chop.  But, NOT bacon!  However, there are a few suggestions of wine by Kendra Anderson.  What I did find interestingly yummy was the thought of bacon candy and yes, it exists and the

I have made my own peanut butter cups before (recipe link below), but not in shapes to commemorate a holiday.  These peanut butter eggs from Taste of Home are darling and will brighten up your holiday table this year.  You can include the family when making them and start your memories of Easter 2014 early!

It's not too soon to be thinking about Easter, April 20, it comes early this year. What will you do to make coloring eggs different, more challenging or eggs-citing? Ok, overused play on words, sorry.  How about tie-dyeing them?  It will be a little more work and could potentially be a bit more messy, but think of the memories you'll be making with your family!

Ok, the middle drumstick does NOT look appetizing, but they taste yummy!  With the recent snow storm and cold temps I started digging through my cookbooks to come up with a nice comfort dinner for my husband when he came in from moving snow.  I've made this before and it's just as good as Thanksgiving dinner, just on a smaller scale and much easier!  Give it a whirl!

What's better than waking up to the smell of a hot breakfast?  Waking up to a HEALTHY hot breakfast that you have brewin' in the crock pot so it's ready when you are.  It's another try and true recipe from Taste of Home, a source you can trust for easy, delicious recipes!

It's cold and flu season (and has been for a while).  We heed all the warnings.  Wash your hands, cough and sneeze into your elbow instead of your hands and stay home if you are feeling ill.  Of course, people are also using an abundance of hand sanitizer, which makes your hands dry out.  But, I found one that is alcohol free that you can make at home from jill at onegoodthingbyjillee.com.  Read M

Ok, they aren't that pretty and my co-host Ken would NOT approve because there is no meat.  But, after my husband's doctor said we should be eating more fruits and veggies, I thought I'd give it a shot.  Although, the credit for this healthy alternative to pizza has to go to the makers of Ragu Pizza Sauce.

I don't know what makes the potatoes and veggies of this meat loaf taste like they were cooked with a pot roast, but it did.  The family LOVED this Taste of Home recipe!  I was bummed because I was going to include a small rutabaggie, but all of them at the grocery store were huge!  It's a yummy, cost effective and yet another way to serve hamburger to your family!

Ok, we've all tried the diet soup recipe and the seven day plan, right?  My first recipe was all water and vegetables and not much flavor.  It was really hard to stick to it.  The search was on to find a tastier cabbage soup recipe and I found it on a website from a gal named Catherine.

My family are huge Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin fans . Unfortunately, we only get them when our bananas go bad.  You too?  Here's the answer to that problem, a way to ripen your bananas faster so you can be a banana baking maniac! Plus, a bonus Taste of Home Banana Walnut Cake Recipe!

Ok, first thing I want to tell you is that the Pampered Chef simple slicer is an amazing product.  It works great, slices wonderfully, and now that I know how to use it, I'll probably use it every time.  Unfortunately, I didn't know how to use it the first time and took a chunk out of my thumb.

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill have lit up the stage for years with their Soul2Soul tour, but have you seen them "heat it up" in the kitchen?  Here's a a sneak peek at their true personality together.   It's cute, candid and will give you understanding why they have such amazing chemistry on stage with their SOUL2SOUL Tour.
