Pumpkin Dump Cake by Carolinaheartstrings

Hot Mulled Cider

Hot Mulled Cider by Carolinaheartstrings

This is a drink The Husband loves and always asks me to make this time of year. I like to get up on Christmas Eve morning and start it in the crockpot and by noon it’s perfect. Nothing better than some hot apple cider while you watch your favorite Christmas movie.

Chicken and Dumplings by Carolinaheartstrings

This is a super easy, VERY yummy way to make that Southern favorite, chicken and dumplings or chicken and pastry as some folks prefer to call it. If you don’t have time to make your “dumplings” from scratch this is a quick, easy and very tasty way to get that hearty meal that everyone loves!

I thought how easy those would be to make from scratch, well almost from…

Fat Free Sweet Potato Souffle

Fat Free Sweet Potato Souffle by Carolinaheartstrings

If you live in the Carolinas you are pretty much required to love sweet potatoes. And generally they’re pretty healthy but to make them really tasty traditional cooking adds lots of sugar and butter. I wanted to keep the yum factor but reduce the unhealthy factor. Try this version below using a few substitutions including pureed…

Luscious Lemon Pie by Carolinaheartstrings

What do you do with a pie crust and 2 boxes of lemon pudding? You Google of course. I found this easy refreshing recipe on the Kraft site. It looked like the perfect dessert for a hot Carolina day.
