Churro Cheesecake

Fruit lovers, rejoice! This lineup of recipes celebrates the sweet, juicy goodness of fruit in the most delicious ways. Whether you’re in the mood for dessert, a savory snack or something light and refreshing, I’ve got you covered. First up, my chocolate-cherry mud cake brings together rich, fudgy chocolate and plump cherries for a decadent dessert that’s beyond easy to make. Then, there’s my bacon-wrapped figs with goat cheese (aka figs in a blanket) —a unique, bite-sized treat that’s perfect for any occasion. Finally, my watermelon caprese is a fresh and fruity spin on the classic salad, or rather, caprese toast — except instead of bread, we’re using juicy watermelon slices as the base. From cherries to figs to watermelon, these recipes show off the magic of fruit in the most flavorful and fun ways!

Are people getting more high maintenance or is it just me? One thing that you can't deny is that CERTAIN people require a lot more TLC and attention, on the daily and especially during trying times.

These wings, rich with Kansas City flavors, are what helped us claim victory at this year's World Championship Barbecue contest. We love to cook wings slowly, build up the flavors, then hit them with high heat and some rich sauce. We take our time with these wings. It's a winning method to slowly increase the cooking temperature and char them off in the end. The finishing sauce and dipping sauce are zesty, rich and delicious.
