Cooking

It’s time for Karen’s Killer Fixin’s! Over the years, I’ve filled two 4-inch, 3-ring binders with my own creations as well as recipes my family and friends were willing to share with me. I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers. So every Friday, I share one recipe I think you and your family might enjoy. It might be a main course recipe. A cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes my eye and fancy…which today is MINI-CRABCAKES!

One of the things I love about the holidays are all of the special recipes family and friends pull out for those holiday meals and parties. A lot of seafood goes on sale at this time of the year, too. I love seafood of all kinds, especially crabcakes. Today’s recipe is something you can make quickly for your guests, a taste of the sea and a nice complement to other party dishes.

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

I love the fall because I can pull out some of my recipes I only seem to make in cooler weather. If I can toss it into a crockpot and leave it? Even better! Everyone has their favorite pot roast dinner. But, if you want to try a new variation, you might like to try this “Italiano” version. It goes great with mashed potatoes or noodles.

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

I’ve always loved Mounds (and Almond Joy) candy bars so it’s only fitting I also have a wonderful coconut cookie recipe. Making these cookies is a breeze and the end result is scrumptious! Add chocolate and/or almonds and you can recreate the candy bar flavors. A three-in-one cookie recipe!

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

Cauliflower is so good alone. Pouring cheese over it is even better. But, au gratin?! This is so tasty, you could make an entire meal out of it. I know I have!

I love popcorn balls, especially if they’re made with the deep flavor of molasses. These are a special treat you can enjoy anytime. No need to wait until Halloween. Give those youngsters going on summer break something fun to eat. With supervision, they might even form the balls for you!

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

I usually make brisket in the crock pot with cabbage–the typical St. Patrick’s Day fare–however, one of my friends shared her version of the recipe that was melt-in-your-mouth scrumptious for one of her dinner parties. I was so impressed, I begged for Pat’s recipe. Considering that many of you may have bought more than one brisket for the recent holiday, I thought you might like to try this version.

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

I don’t know about you but I’m ready to pull out my grill. Yeah, I know spring is still around the corner. It’s only March. But, living in Colorado, we’re already seeing some relatively nice BBQ days and my mouth is beginning to water for grilled steak. This recipe is a wonderful, savory version.

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