Taste of Home

Kids always want to help, especially in the kitchen.  Use their enthusiasm to help you with breakfast and you get the morning off!  Taste of Home has an easy, fun to make recipe for you to try, it's called Toad in a Hole.  Enjoy!

Even if you didn't verbalize "getting healthy and exercising more" in 2014 as a New Year's resolution, I'll just bet it's in the back of your mind.  My resolution this year was "to take the time".  Stop procrastinating and take the time to do the things I need and want to get done.  Ken, my co-host asked what "things"?  IT could be anything!  From including more time

Temps in the single digits and more snow on the way!  Use it to your advantage!  This would be a great weekend to make Taste of Home's Slow Cooker Caramel Apple Cider.  What could be easier?  Throw it in the crock pot, the house smells awesome and when you come in from the cold you'll have something to warm your insides :)

My daughter's birthday dinner was at grandma's house last night.  Corned venison was on the menu.  I didn't try it then, but took a baggie of it to work this morning so Ken could try it.  He MADE me try it too and ya know what???  It wasn't that bad, tasted JUST like corned beef.  With MN and WI deer hunting seasons over, I thought I'd look for other possible venison recipes that I think would hav

I have always resorted to an "egg bake" when I have overnight guests.  It's something I can whip up the night before and throw in the oven the next morning.  But, this recipe from Taste of Home is too unique and sounds too yummy to pass up this year.  It's a five-star recipe that got rave reviews.  I'll be a one-upper on myself this year!  If you have holiday guests spending the night WO

The tradition in my family has always been to roast our Thanksgiving turkey, then again, turkey deep fryers weren't around yet (insert "older than dirt joke" here).  I have traditionally stuck with that form of cooking a Thanksgiving turkey, but after tasting Ken's deep fried turkey and hearing so many more people choosing that mode of preparing their turkey, I'm beginning to change my m

I have a spring form pan and have only made cheesecake in it.  Thanks to Taste of Home, I have another reason to dig the spring form pan out from the back of the cupboard.  I've never tried making a torte before but it looks fantastic and I'm excited to serve it on Thanksgiving as an alternative dessert to my homemade pumpkin pie.

The Northland is expecting a rain/snow mix.  To the South in Minneapolis, 4-6 inches of snow.  You didn't have time to dig the crock pot out from behind the bread maker on those make-shift shelves in the dark room of your basement, but you want to serve something warm and tasty for dinner.  Here's the answer, Taste of Home's Roasted Pepper Potato Soup.

Love the two flavors of salty and sweet together.  Add the whimsical factor these Taste of Home Popcorn Owls will bring to your Halloween party and you've got a winner!

The leaves starting to change, Friday Night Lights and the Bayfield Apple Festival  coming up soon, all signs that we're on the cusp of Fall.  Soon we'll be experiencing the delicious harvest of orchard fresh apples.  Try something different that is sure to be a favorite after-school snack from Taste of Home. ...

Before I started roasting pumpkin seeds, a pumpkin was just a decoration used around Halloween and Thanksgiving.  Everything was thrown in the garbage after gutting and carving it.  But, with this Taste of Home Roasted Pumpkin Seed recipe, your family can enjoy a seasonal favorite and you get kudos for throwing less of your pumpkin away.

I'm one of those people that actually ORDER meatloaf at a restaurant.  Love it!  But, usually give it up during the summer months for lots of reasons.  For example, we start making hamburger patties for the grill or it's too hot to start the oven.  I was excited to stumble upon this Taste of Home recipe for meatloaf that is GRILLED and stuffed with my faves, mushrooms and butter!  Give it a shot t
