You’re welcome. You can now have beer, cheese, and bacon in ONE biscuit. These are cheesey drop biscuits. The drop refers to the method that they are shaped. No fussy rolling and cutting. Just scoop up the dough and plop it onto a pan. To give them a little more decadence I have stuffed them …
Carrot Cake Griddle Cakes
Seriously like eating cake for breakfast. These griddle cakes use Carrot Cake Jam in place of the sugar. This not only cuts down on the sugar but adds tons of flavor. Pre-heat a griddle on med-low heat. Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large bowl: 1c flour 1 ½ ts baking powder ½ ts …
Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies
Like pig candy only better!! While making these bacon cookies I was a wee bit skeptical of my own decision making skills and it must have shown. When I asked Tall Dark and Handsome how much bacon I should add to the cookies he said, “What does the recipe call for?” I said “What recipe?” …
Peanut Butter & Jelly Muffins
In need of comfort food? I am. Accident and injury prone me has been laid up yet again this year. I swear I'm not a complete klutz! Not being able to do things for myself is a huge downer because I am pretty sure that I can do anything and everything when healthy. Lucky for …
Red White & Blue Jam Scones
These pretty little scones are a tasty and festive treat for the 4th of July. They are great for breakfast or dessert and pack well for picnics and outings. Best made a day ahead of time, the recipe is very forgiving and can be adapted to what you have available. I have made these with …
Nut’n Berry Smoothie: Allergy-free and Anti-inflammatory
Nut’ n Berry Smoothie. AKA: allergy free protein smoothie. Tall-Dark and Handsome calls it the Ugly Berry Smoothie. Remember when I lost my taste buds? I am still troubled by it. Some of the lingering effects of my condition include constant itchiness and the inability to eat anything remotely spicy (a tragedy!). In an effort …

Apple Pecan Rosemary Baklava
Rosemary Garlic Chablis Wine Jelly is a personal favorite and very first Potlicker flavor. The jelly itself is inspired by an apple rosemary jelly from a family friend. In fact, she is the hostess with the mostess. I imagine that she would serve this Apple Pecan Rosemary Baklava at her very posh parties. This is …
Sweet Potato Pancakes
I love sweet potatoes! But really, who doesn’t?? As with any food, I think whether someone loves or hates a food often depends on how it is prepared. For example, people who hate cauliflower will never be converted with a plate of steamed florets. However, if you smother it with cheese and put it next …
Pineapple & Pecan Dressing
Pineapple stuffing was an important part of Easter dinner during my youth. Served along side the classic honey baked ham and green bean casserole, it was all part of the tradition. As a kid, one of my jobs was to help make the stuffing (which I now know is actually dressing because it is not …
Root Vegetable Ragu
My mom is always an inspiration in my cooking. Days when I miss my family, I make things that remind me of home. Growing up my mother made something she called student's ragu. It is a layered and simmered dish all done in mom’s electric skillet. Mom’s ragu has potatoes, onions, ground beef and the …
