Saucy Chipotle Barbecue Pork

My kids request this all the time. This spicy barbecue pork recipe cooks up an ample amount of sauce - a delicious bonus for barbecue sauce lovers. Use it for dripping over a sandwich, dipping fries, dressing baked potatoes (our family's personal favorite!), or over a yummy green salad.

Grilled Chipotle Three-Cheese Sandwich

This elevates the humble cheese sandwich to gourmet heights. Our family loves it! It's from a restaurant called Kona Bistro. How spicy it is depends on how much of the sauce you spread on the bread. If you have a panini press, it really works well with this recipe, but you can also just do it in a pan on the stove or directly on the grill.

McOmber Fruit Dip

I first had this when I was invited over to dinner at Mark’s family’s house when we first started dating. His mom made this, and I think I could have licked the bowl clean. I didn’t…but I could have. Pretty sure my kids have actually cleaned the bowl out pretty well when we’ve made this. Only 3 ingredients…simple and yummy!

The Quintessential 7-Layer Dip

I think we had this at every get together in high school. I remember so many all-nighter get togethers with girlfriends where we ate this and talked about boys until the early morning hours. This dip is the “OG” basic that never gets old. So good.

Hill Country Pecan Spread

I had this at a get together when we were living in Houston, Texas. I took one bite and HAD to track down the person who had made it. She shared the recipe with me, which I quickly scribbled down. It came from a little spiral bound community cookbook she had…I have no idea who the author was. But I can tell you that this dip is IN.CRED.I.BLE. It has SO much flavor. It’s great on crackers or veggies. You can also serve it on baked potatoes. The jalapenos give it a little zip, but not too much. Just try it. There’s no way I can do it justice so you just have to taste.

Greek Bread

This bread is absolutely fabulous and incredibly fast and easy. It will disappear quickly! I remember when I was pregnant and nauseous all the time, this was sometimes all that sounded good when I was feeling sick. I CRAVED it. And you will too after you try it!

Dutch Babies

I’ve heard them called “German Pancakes” by some, but we grew up with them being called “Dutch Babies”. Whatever you call them, double the recipe. They puff up super big in the oven, and then fall once you take them out…so we always needed two pans. 😉
