Actually, 2 of the 3 RecipeTin Family kids were very, very naughty – my brother and me. Definitely worse than the average teenager. 😂 So we always treat our mother extremely well on Mother’s Day.

ALWAYS, we spoil her with good food!...

Great for company, and pretty easy to make, especially if you have an extra pie crust all ready to go. If using a store-bought frozen pie crust, preheat the oven to 375°F. Thaw the crust for 15 minutes at room temperature. Poke the bottom and sides of the pie crust all around with the tines of a fork. Place an empty pie pan of the same size inside the crust OR line the inside with heavy aluminum foil, and fill with pie weights—dry beans or rice work well....

And yet, cliché as it is, especially as I say it here from Atlanta, I’ve never had anything quite like my grandma’s fried chicken. It tasted like her personality. Loud. Bold. Brash. And unapologetically so. She was a force in her day, formidably commanding and stern, but equally ready to erupt into good-humored, raspy laughter at the silliness of young children with the love of her life, my venerated granddaddy....

Use this to make a Ripper Beef Nachos! “This Nachos Cheese Dip was an invention out of necessity.

If there’s something to nibble on within reach, it’s like my arm is on auto pilot....

I developed this seasoning mix by adapting the recipe I found at Plaid & Paleo. If you haven’t checked out Vanessa’s blog yet you should, it is a great source for paleo recipes. Good news, this paleo ranch seasoning mix turned out really great! We’ve had it on white fish, chicken, salmon, eggs and it is a key ingredient to a new personal favorite – chicken dip. Now that I have the recipe dialed in, I like to make a batch up to have on hand and put it in a jar to have ready whenever I want to use it....

Wherever you live, you deserve pepperoni rolls. Consider this your primer. What Are Pepperoni Rolls?...

We used celery seeds and caraway seeds which work beautifully with the cabbage and pork. By the way, are you aware that the USDA has officially lowered the recommended internal temperature for cooked pork?

A Classic Italian Gnocchi Recipe To make the best gnocchi, we’ve experimented with various ratios of potato to flour. It took several attempts to achieve what we’ve found to be the perfect ratio: What you want is a minimal amount of flour; too much and the gnocchi will be too dense.
