Dulce de Leche Cheesecake Bars

Dulce de Leche Cheesecake Bars by Krista

Hello friends! I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday. With the hustle and bustle leading up to Christmas and quality time spent with friends and family over the holidays (plus coping with one annoying little 24 hour flu-bug), I haven't had time to write. But there has certainly been lots of cooking and baking going on in my…

Caramel Corn

Caramel Corn by Krista

When I was a kid, caramel corn didn't just make an appearance at the holidays. Yes, year after year it was bagged up and sent out with the rest of our holiday treats, but it wasn't a recipe that was just pulled out of the box in the month of December. I always knew that there was about to be "an occasion" when I saw my mom popping…

Eggs in Purgatory

Eggs in Purgatory by Krista

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Deep South Dish, it's my go-to Southern cooking resource. Mary always has the best recipes and these eggs, cooked up in a spicy creole tomato sauce and served over creamy, cheesy grits did not disappoint!After being away for 2 weeks, I was excited to return to our normal at-home routine, which…

Drunken Pineapple Upside-Down Pancakes

Drunken Pineapple Upside-Down Pancakes by Krista

My last post was just inside of the new year, nearly 3 months ago. I had good intentions to maintain this blog. I've cooked a number of meals in this space of time and taken my customary step-by-step pictures of the best of them, but unfortunately I have not found the energy to translate even one of those meals into a blog post.I…

Cheesy Chicken Tortilla Soup

Cheesy Chicken Tortilla Soup by Krista

This soup is what I made for my birthday dinner. Yes, I cooked dinner on my birthday...but only because I wanted to. My in-laws came to town over the weekend to watch our daughters so that we could go out and celebrate with friends. After a magnificent sushi dinner, followed by an impulsive trip to the bowling alley on Saturday night,…

Pumpkin Spiced Pancakes

Pumpkin Spiced Pancakes by Krista

Try these for breakfast over the weekend! Super easy...I just made pancakes from a mix and then added in some pumpkin puree (leftover from the pumpkin spice donuts) and cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Truthfully, we didn't eat these for breakfast. We had them for lunch. You know how it is on the last day before a scheduled grocery…

Meatball Sliders

Meatball Sliders by Krista

Oh ho ho....meatball sliders! Where have these been all my life!? From the moment that Colleen from Colleen's Recipes typed this comment about my Meatballs in Tomato Basil Cream Sauce, "Congratulations on making your own meatballs! Now nothing can hold you back....meatball subs, meatball sliders, sweet & sour meatballs..." I have…

Apple Cider Fritters and Pumpkin Spice Donuts

Apple Cider Fritters and Pumpkin Spice Donuts by Krista

Once Upon a Time...Growing up on a farm, my trick or treating experience was different than that of my daughters. Rather than walking door to door with droves of neighborhood children, my sisters and I donned our costumes on Halloween night and my mom loaded us into the back of the family car. She'd drive us to our first neighbor's…

Cranberry Orange Scones

Cranberry Orange Scones by Krista

Hello everyone! I've been away from Krista's Kitchen for a few days. My mom and my husband's mom are visiting. We've had a lovely time together. Monday night we attended my daughter's school Christmas program and last night I took "the moms" to see Wicked. We also hit the stores for some shopping, got pictures with Santa, train rides,…
