Comfort Food

Taco Bell customers in Louisiana and nationwide are rejoicing over the addition of a comfort food favorite to the Taco Bell full-time menu.

Just pick out what you want to warm you up during this cold snap and get to the grocery store before they run out of everything!

This dish is so comforting, you'll want to snuggle up with it on the couch.

I'm in love with my crock pot. Seriously. I want to write it love notes and give it massage, instead I threw a hunk of raw meat covered in Dr. Pepper in it at 3 am this morning. And in 6-8 hours I'm going to enjoy the fruits of my lack of labor. This is the easiest and most fabulous "roast beast" recipe I've ever tried!

It never fails, you find a favorite treat or a favorite restaurant and the next thing you know it is pulled off the market or closes. Shameful! You couldn't be the only person who loved Bennigan's? Maybe you were the only one? What places or products do you wish for a comeback from?

This morning we've been talking about the best fried chicken in Kiss Country. Gary's vote is for Kentucky Fried Chicken Original. Tracy loves the chicken strips from the new Chicken Express in South Bossier. The only thing that would make the Chicken Express strips better is Cane's dipping sauce. Here is a Copy Cat Cane's sauce for you to try at home. YUM!

Deviled eggs are part of every single holiday in our family and they are Steven's favorite. Last year I tried something new, something so easy you will be shocked at how good the results are! These deviled eggs are beyond easy! Only 3 ingredients!

Is it cobbler? Is it pie? WHO CARES?!! It's delicious! Plug in your crock pot and get the old fashion vanilla ice cream ready! We're going big time comfort food with this one y'all! YUM!

What are you going to do with all that left over turkey? Sandwiches are pretty good for a little while, but I just read a few new ways to put that Christmas turkey to good use.: slow cooker turkey soup with dumplings, turkey pot pie, or maybe turkey nachos?

I am sitting here surrounded by things that I only enjoy once a year. I don't even know if Krackel Bars are actually sold in any other form than the miniature version that come in the mixed Hershey bags for Christmas. To my left is spiced tea and one of my Winter favorites: Satsumas! In a drawer to my right hot chocolate packets. I love, love this time of year!

I can't wait to start some Christmas traditions with our growing little family. Decorating cookies, hot chocolate, popcorn strings, favorite Christmas music, I love the idea of Christmas traditions. Do you and your family have any Christmas traditions? The band members of Little Big Town talk about Christmas in their families in this video.
