Cooking With Maryann

If you like fry bread, funnel cakes, or the like, you will love these beignets!

You can dress them up so many different ways too (more on that below). Here's what you'll need to make 1 1/2 dozen:

I know that historically, people tend to thing of molasses cookies as a wintertime or Christmas cookie. While they're not wrong, molasses cookies can be enjoyed any time of the year.

If you were lucky like I was, we had some amazing lunch ladies that made some of the best lunches. Alas, kids these days won't know how good food could be. Anyway, one of these items was a peanut butter bar dessert, and oh my goodness... it was such a prized item. If you were lucky, sometimes they'd let you come grab another one if lunch was just about over and they had extra (also rare). Keep in mind that this is for a jelly roll sized portion. If you would like to make a 9x 13 size portion, just cut the recipe in half. Here's what you'll need to make about 24 large or 48 small bars:

We just can’t quit that rotisserie chicken. Southerners love a bargain, and often, retailers like Sam's Club are the key to saving a few bucks. When buying in bulk, however, you have to be careful that what you're buying is actually a good deal for the quantity and quality. These are the items Southern Living editors are always sure to snap up when they make a trip to Sam's Club.

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a knack for all things vintage, especially vintage kitchen items like dishware, glasses, food storage containers. So when I discovered that Tupperware, a top-notch and highly trusted brand across generations, had a vintage-inspired line, I knew that I had to get pieces from the collection (because let’s face it, real vintage Tupperware will cost you an arm and a leg).

This easy chicken thigh marinade is made with orange juice and shallot and comes together quickly for dinner tonight. With the addition of chili-lime seasoning, you add a subtle kick of heat, and honey mustard adds the perfect touch of sweetness, while helping the marinade cling to the chicken thighs. Don't feel you must use this marinade on chicken alone—it would be great with pork. If you use it for shrimp, you should limit the marinade time as citrus juice can make the shellfish tough and stringy.

We won’t turn down bacon, ranch, and queso. It’s not hard to sell us on a cheesy snack—after all, Southerners claim the best macaroni and cheese in the country and show up to a potluck wielding Cheese Dreams. Neither is a last-minute recipe, however, and sometimes you just need something cheesy, salty, and crispy in a pinch. Southern drive-in chain Sonic just announced a new menu item that’s caught our attention with a few ingredients that are easy to love, starting with queso.

Though pumpkin spice usually takes the crown for fall flavoring, it should be noted that the cult classic wouldn’t be anywhere without cinnamon. This fragrant bark—often ground into a fine, easy-to-sprinkle powder—livens up our fall baking around every corner, especially apple and pumpkin treats. So when it comes to seasonal delights, we’re always excited to try a well-placed cinnamon makeover.
