Buttermilk Biscuits by Kyra Martin

These biscuits are amazing! I make them all the time. They're good for everything. Add a little sugar and they make amazing shortcakes. They can be savvory or sweet. The cheese can be easily omitted for plain biscuits or replaced with another kind of cheese; herbs can be added. Add fruit. The possibilities are endless. Original…

Banana Split Pops by Krystina Castella

This king of pops is based on the classic flavors of a banana split. Traditionally, the banana is split lengthwise, but I put the banana on the pop stick to make it a hidden surprise. Pineapple topping is poured over the vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup over the chocolate ice cream, and strawberry topping over the strawberry; the…

Cajun Bread Pudding with Praline Sauce by Amos Miller

I am surprised more folks haven't tried this. I have been asked for this recipe more times than I can remember. I have served the following dish to more than 300 diners (at a time) and got a substantial number of raves, so I want to pass it on for anyone who wants something a little more like home, more New Orleans, more than a Red…

Mashed Potato Rolls by myra byanka

Accidentally deleted this recipe, so here it is again. It's my favorite, go-to general purpose recipe for dinner and sandwich rolls, because they last longer than a day, due to the potatoes in them. Add fresh herbs and garlic for Italian and comfort foods, or substitute mashed sweet potatoes for the russets. Keep the dough in…

Bacon Cupcakes by Kyra Martin

To quote Tyler Florence: "Bacon should be an honorary vegetable." In which case, I argue that these are a health food. If you have a favorite spice cake recipe, feel free to subsitute that in. I think these would be great with an apple spice cake also.
