I love candy corn, but I know not everyone will share that sentiment. At least in the small town where I live, there is a very small window of opportunity for finding them at the local grocery store.
Whether you enjoy eating the real thing or not, you will hopefully enjoy one or more of these candy corn inspired recipes.

Okay, so you probably don’t want to recycle a jack-o-lantern by cooking with it, but some of these recipes can probably be made using the pieces you cut from the pumpkin! It is easy to use pieces of pumpkin to make your own pumpkin puree. Of course, if you prefer, you can use canned pumpkin puree. You can then use that puree to make some of these sweet pumpkin treats. When you are cleaning out your pumpkins, remember to save the seeds so you can roast them!

I love finding new recipes to try, especially when they are as easy as these onion soup mix potatoes.
I found them on Pinterest (minus the cheese) and couldn’t wait to try them. To give credit where credit is due, this recipe was shared by Debbie on the Made from Pinterest blog. I do believe it is her original recipe — at least it looks to be!

Last weekend my husbands asked me to try to make him a ranch salad dressing that tasted like the one his favorite restaurant serves. So, the first thing I did was go online and search for ‘copycat Outback steakhouse ranch dressing recipe’.
In honor of Summer, and also National Watermelon Day (August 3rd), why not make some of these amazing watermelon recipes.

This round-up of amazing Rice Krispie recipes was a spur of the moment idea. I have some family coming this weekend and was in the mood to make something sweet for them… Well, for my grandkids mainly.
To be totally honest with you, I have never been a huge fan of Rice Krispie treats (hanging my head in shame). I think it is mainly because most times I have the opportunity to eat them, it was at a potluck with many other options available… I mean, why waste stomach room on cereal and marshmallows if there are cakes, brownies, or anything chocolaty available?

My motivation for creating this round-up initially was my grandkids. I have 3 of them coming to stay with me this weekend and I was trying to find something fast and fun to make for them for breakfast. Once I started searching, I thought about how nice it would be to have some of these amazing recipes when my kids were little and I was rushing around on a busy school morning trying to get them to eat something.

One of my favorite things about summer and barbecues — especially potlucks — is the variety of salads you run across. My family prefers either potato salad or tuna salad so I don’t usually make any others. My favorite, however, is this Oriental Coleslaw. I rarely make it, but that is okay because it makes it extra special when I do!
This salad comes together quickly and I love all of the different flavors and textures. While it is perfectly fine to make the salad and serve it the same day, my personal opinion is that it tastes better the second day.

Before I tried this for myself, I would have never associated the word simple with barbecued ribs and now this is the only way I will ever make them. This was my first attempt at making a rack of ribs… I will admit that the thought of cooking them intimidated me so I never bothered even glancing their way at the grocery store or butcher shop. What changed my mind? Free meat!
I guess technically it wasn’t free meat, I bought a $1 meat raffle ticket and was the lucky winner of this lovely rack. All of a sudden I was excited to experiment with this cut of meat that had previously made me nervous. Who ares if I make a mess of free meat?
