Cheesy Garlic Bread

Light and Fluffy Blueberry Muffins
Blueberry muffins are quite the classic. When I think of muffins, they're usually one of the top three flavors I envision. The only problem is that, until now, I could never get just the right recipe figured out for them. They can be a bit tricky, what with those luscious berries that are known to sink to the bottom. So many recipes thicken the batter, but then the muffin itself is a bit dense. One time I tried fixing that by adding brown sugar to the mixture, but when the blue color ran through … [Read more...]
Mama Harris’ Kitchen’s Top 10 Recipes for 2016
Another year in the books, folks. This year seemed endlessly long, am I right? 2016 was definitely quite a year. I know many people who can't wait for the year to be over, and I do understand.

So join me in saying "Sayonara" to 2016 and let's look forward to great things in the coming year. But first, let's take a look at the top 10 … [Read more...]
Easy Chilaquiles Rojos
This is a compensated campaign with Cacique and Society Culinaria. As always, all opinions are my own. I hope you enjoy these easy chilaquiles rojos! I wasn't one of those people that was raised from a young child to know how to cook. Looking back to when I was little my dad would go tell me to help my mom with dinner, but when I offered I was given the task of setting the table or maybe peeling carrots or something. Eventually I knew enough as a teenager to get by, but I didn't really get to … [Read more...]

Honey Mustard Crispy Chicken Wrap with Sweet Potato Fries
I love to recreate recipes that are childhood favorites. Most of the kids I know love chicken strips (or nuggets) and fries. It's inevitable! When I was a kid it was also a favorite for me, and I actually know grown adults who will just order chicken strips and fries at every new restaurant they go to. It's just one of those meals that's easy and comforting, so I decided to spruce it up a bit! For this sponsored post I’ll be using the Foster Farms Simply Raised thin-sliced boneless skinless … [Read more...]
