recipe

A hot beverage will be appreciated this weekend with the snow expected.  Taste of Home has taken a old favorite, hot chocolate and added a tasty twist.  Maple flavoring, mmmmmmm!  Imagine the taste of rich, creamy chocolate coupled with maple flavoring, it will have the skeptics asking for another cup.  (You might want to make a double batch!)

Ok, I honestly almost deleted this recipe...sounded to hard, then as I read through the directions I realized it wasn't.  They look darling and imagine the oohs and ahhs you'll get when you fill the candy dish with Taste of Home gumdrops and say "oh those?  I made them"!

Tis' the season for the flu, colds and being too busy to make a hearty meal for your family.  That's why Taste of Home's Northwood's Beef Stew is the perfect meal!!!  It's comfort food made in the crock pot so you come home to the smell of a home cooked meal!

I was just asking my husband what I should do to spice up the sweet potatoes this year.  I hate to just bake em', throwing the usual handful of marshmellows on top.  Then, I saw Reba McEntire's recipe for Praline Sweet Potato Casserole, fantastic!  Not only will I have a tasty dish, but it is now a conversation piece too!  I'll share so you can enjoy too!

Looking for that WOW factor to impress your friends and relatives?  Here is the perfect recipe from Taste of Home to accomplish that feat.  It's easy, it's definitely a different taste and you can stop wondering what you're going to do with that big bird in the fridge and move on to your salads and side dishes.

Before my daughter grew up and found 10,000 other things to do than spend time in the kitchen with me, I was always looking for kid-friendly recipes to make together.  We'd crank B105, talk and laugh, something that parents and kids should do more often.  Hardest part was coming up with something to make, let me take care of that for you  THIS weekend.  Make Taste of Home's Colorful Peanut Butter

This is SUCH a fantastic idea, I am totally doing this.  It's easy to make, easy to eat and I won't be wearing caramel from ear to ear! My friend Jane shared this on Facebook  from A Mouthful of Deliciousness' page. Genius!!!

Being in charge of the Thanksgiving meal is a lot of work.  Planning the menu, doing the grocery shopping and the preparation of everything can lead to stress, especially for a first timer!  This Taste of Home recipe will help with the stress level by taking care of some of the prep work the night before, freeing up your Thanksgiving morning for other things!

Ok, I'll be the first to admit, even with the Taste of Home picture, I could never make my Spooky Cookie Cottage look like the picture.  But, the main thing to keep in mind is, it's all about the memories your family will make and experiencing the amazing creativity hiding in your child's imagination.  Have fun!

Before you wrinkle your nose, I want you to know I'm not a big fan of candy corn either, but, this Taste of Home seasonal recipe's flavor will surprise you!  It has a Tex-Mex flavor and there's NO candy corn in it!  It's just gives you a plate presentation idea to make your snack festive...fooled ya!

I love squash, but my cooking/baking techniques limit me to boiling it and serving it with butter, salt and pepper.  That's why I love Taste of Home, they give me tasty ideas that broaden my horizons when it comes to serving my family variations on food we already love!

Can you imagine waking up to the smell of pumpkin pancakes?  Then, while they are piping hot, smearing cinnamon butter on them and watching the deliciousness drip down the sides?  It's possible and EASY with Taste of Home!
