peanut butter cookies



Peanut butter cookies
1 cup peanut butter (I used crunchy)
1/2 cup palm sugar
1 egg

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together. (Tip: spray the measuring cup with cooking spray before you put in the peanut butter to keep it from sticking.) Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, and drop spoonfuls of batter onto the sheet. Flatten cookies, and bake for 8-10 minutes.

crash hot potatoes

One day, we had a pack of leftover King’s Hawaiian rolls (the grocery store includes them in their fried/rotisserie chicken meals), so we decided to make slider burgers.  Needing a side dish, I was inspired to make the Pioneer Woman’s Crash Hot Potatoes.

feta dip


Years ago, while visiting Athens, Georgia, I received a recommendation for a fantastic restaurant called The Grill.  Everything there was AMAZING and I highly recommend it if you’re visiting the area.  I enjoyed the burger, I enjoyed the fries, but what I enjoyed most of all was the delicious, delicious feta dip.  I could have eaten several servings of it on its own.
For ages I tried to find a recipe that was similar to their dip, and I think I’ve finally found it.  It’s not exactly the same, but it’s just as delicious.

corn dog muffins


I’m a big fan of 7-Eleven’s corn dog rollers.  They’re less greasy and more cornbready than regular corn dogs, but they’re still probably not that great for you.  To be honest, it’s probably hard to make a healthy corn dog, but at least with these, you know what you’re putting in them, and it’s a fair bit cheaper. :)
These corn dog muffins are great for lunch, a snack, or party food.  The mix I prefer (Aldi brand) is slightly sweet, just like the ones from 7-Eleven.  These are also super simple to make!

hubig's pies



I’m a huge fan of Hubig’s Pies. (My favorites are the coconut and the chocolate!)  My father would bring back as many as he could fit in his freezer (he’s a truck driver) every time he drove through Louisiana.  Other times, we’d order them by the case.
However, the Hubig’s factory suffered a devastating fire a couple of weeks ago, and the building was completely destroyed.
Hubig’s Pies are an important part of the history of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana.  The entire community is rallying together to help the factory rebuild.
How can you help?
