Since it is apple season, we’re all jumping on the apple bandwagon. LOL If nothing else, we’re looking for new ways to add apples to our dishes. I love this dessert bread because it’s so easy to make and satisfying to eat with a cup of coffee. Hmmm, Pumpkin Spice Coffee and Apple Nut Bread! I think I need to run to the kitchen to make this one right now.

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

I love steak and I love garlic. These flavors mash up so well together. This steak recipe is something different and can be used for a special event when you want to really impress. The trick is to get the bottom round steak thick enough and have a steady hand when you’re slicing that pocket. Just take your time and have a sharp knife. 

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

It’s been so hot all across the country and just thinking about cooking and heating up the house is NOT appealing. This salad is quick, easy, and so versatile. It can be used as a side dish at a BBQ or, with just a few added ingredients, you can make it a full meal, limited only by your imagination!

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

This is a quick and easy recipe that’s great for the kids’ after school snack, even if that school is taking place at the kitchen table. It smells wonderful and just might help the kids to make one last push on those lessons. Of course, it’s great for the “teachers”, too. <wink>

I LOVE this recipe. It’s simple and easy to make and immensely satisfying, especially if you’re a cheese aficionado like me.
