I had the pleasure of hosting this week’s Sweet Melissa Sundays. I chose Fresh Peach Muffins found on pages 6 and 7 of Melissa Murphy’s book. I chose this recipe not only because I’m a Georgia peach myself, born and raised in the state, but, to take it one step closer, I’m from Peach County….

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies?
I don’t know if they were the best, but let me back up…I wanted to bake some cookies for a couple of co-workers who are very helpful. I saw this recipe over at Good Things Catered and wanted to try it. I thought the ones I made earlier in the summer were very good, but…
Maple-Glazed Sausages & Figs
Figs….I remember eating them off of my grandmother’s fig tree. I remember one of my aunt’s picking a bag full for me to send by parents when they visited me in college. Then one day during a bad storm, the fig tree was uprooted. I don’t think I have eaten figs since then. They just…
DB: Dobos Torta
The August 2009 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Angela of A Spoonful of Sugar and Lorraine of Not Quite Nigella. They chose the spectacular DobosTorte based on a recipe from Rick Rodgers’ cookbook Kaffeehaus: Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Caffés of Vienna, Budapest, and Prague. From the Daring Bakers website: The Dobos Torta is…
Mexican Cornbread
This is another recipe from my “A Recipe for a Good Marriage” bridal shower that my co-workers gave me. It was shared with me by Ms. Carolyn, one of sweetest people I think I will ever meet. She told me this was a favorite of her grandchildren. I was in the mood for some soup…
Mongolian Beef

Oven-Fried Green Tomatoes
I love fried green tomatoes. I am actually surprised that this was the first time I had them all summer. I found this recipe in the June edition of Southern Living magazine and decided to try it since it is a healthy alternative. Unfortunately, I did not care for them. Mr. G didn’t even try…
SMS: Mom’s Banana Apple Bread
This is what autumn smells like. At least what it should smell like. This week’s Sweet Melissa Sundays was hosted by Joy of Hot Oven Warm Heart. She chose this wonderful banana apple bread. I have gotten to know Joy a little bit over the past couple of weeks. She participates in Operation Baking Gals,…

Pizza SauceAdapted from Allrecipes Ingredients:1-6 oz. can tomato paste1 tsp. sugar2 tsp. garlic powder1/4 tsp. dried oregano1/2 tsp. dried basil1 cup water2…
Salsa Chicken
This is another recipe I got from Brown and Bridal. It was quite yummy. I placed the chicken breasts in the crock pot frozen and had no issues. I decided to plate the chicken breasts whole, but they can easily be shredded to be used in tacos, burritos, etc. (will post those directions as well)….
