"My chocolate covered cherry brownie bites are rich, fudgy, and filled with a sweet cherry center. Inspired by classic chocolate covered cherries, these treats are great for holidays, parties, or when you want a delicious chocolate dessert." Comment from Food Lovin Family
What a genius idea! Look at that photo!! I would love to try this recipe.

"Potatoes au gratin is like the French cousin of classic scalloped potatoes—with lots of cheese folded in. (Truth be told, the names are often used interchangeably.) In this dish, thin slices of Yukon gold potatoes are layered in a baking dish, smothered in a creamy sauce, and then baked until tender. The result is a melt-in-your mouth potato side that will become your go-to side dish for everything from holiday buffets to weeknight suppers." Comment from Southern Living
You can never have enough recipes for Au Gratin Potatoes. Although I always make the boxed ones even if I know the ones made from scratch taste so much better. If you have the time, make them from scratch!

"Southerners know: grits aren't just a breakfast food. Whether served alongside a breakfast casserole or a plate of short ribs, there's always a need for a good grits recipe. This one is elevated above the classic buttery flavor with Parmesan and Cheddar cheeses. It's rich and cheesy, but still knows how to play second fiddle to any great main dish." Comment from Southern Living
I can make a meal from a plain pot of grits, so a cheesy grits casserole is something I need to make.

"I first made this recipe when attempting to make authentic French fruit tarts that could equal the ones I enjoyed during my visits to Paris and other parts of France. Julia Child’s famous cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, was my primary source for learning how to make creme patisserie, which is the french name for this creamy, thick custard filling that has a silky smooth texture and is sturdy enough to be piped in swirls.
You don’t have to be a skilled chef to master a simple French pastry cream. It uses super basic ingredients and is made in one pot on the stove, with excellent results every time.
This pastry cream is thickened with cornstarch and egg yolks, so it’s naturally gluten-free.
In many recipes, we use this pastry cream as is, although sometimes I like to lighten it up a bit by folding it into 1 cup of heavy cream that has been whipped with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and a little vanilla." Comment from House of Nash Eats
Never made it and would love to experiment with it.

"Cream puffs are made from a choux pastry (aka pâte à choux) which is just a light pastry dough made with flour, eggs, butter, and water. The puffed up hollow shells are perfect for filling with pastry cream or whipped cream for an easy, elegant dessert!" Comments from House of Nash Eats
Have not had a cream puff in years and love them!

"I am not a big fan of plain cream cheese. I love it in dips, casseroles, etc. But just cream cheese on a bagel – nope. I was worried that this 3-Ingredient Cream Cheese Sausage Dip would have too much of a cream cheese flavor, but it didn’t. The sausage and tomatoes really shine in this dip. We served this with some scoops tortilla chips and it was perfect! This is a great dip for when you need something quick and easy for a party. It is always a hit!" Comment from Plain Chicken
All these combined ingredients sounds perfect!

"Chicken and Broccoli Tortellini Recipe – the ultimate weeknight winner! It’s a creamy, cheesy, one-pan wonder that uses a genius “no-boil” method—the tortellini cooks right in the savory Parmesan garlic sauce while it bakes. Packed with juicy chicken and tender broccoli, it’s a hearty meal the whole family will love. Perfect for busy nights when you want comfort food without the sink full of dishes!" Comment from Plain Chicken
A delicious meal without the sink full of dishes sounds awesome to me! Love the combination of all the ingredients.

"While there will always be room for classic holiday cookies on our dessert table, we like to get creative with our favorite seasonal flavors every now and then. That's where our Cheesecake Cookies come into play. As adorable as they are delicious, these bite-sized cheesecake confections just might become your new favorite Christmas cookies. Truthfully, the hardest part of this recipe might be letting the cookies cool completely without grabbing one (or two) for a taste test." Comment from Southern Living
I'm intrigued and would like a taste test now! Sounds delicious.

"An American-born beauty, the cheesecake gets upgraded with a triple dose of chocolate. It's in the crust, in the filling, and over the top." Comment from Martha Stewart.com

"These may look like pretty standard peanut butter cookies, but one bite of these Cream Cheese Peanut Butter Cookies will tell you that’s not the case. There’s just a little extra something. Something a little richer. Something more flavorful. Yep, it’s cream cheese!
I tweaked my basic peanut butter cookie recipe, decreasing the butter and adding some cream cheese. I had done a similar thing with chocolate chip cookies a while back, so I was excited to try a similar twist with peanut butter cookies.
And I’m happy to tell you that it was a more than worthwhile experiment. The result is a soft, chewy, irresistible cookie with just a bit bigger, more interesting flavor than the original. If you’re looking for something a little different in the peanut butter cookie category, then give these a try.
It’s not the kind of change that will hit you over the head. Rather, it’s more likely to garner questions like “What’s different about these?” from cookie eaters. Whether or not someone trying one of these cookies can guess the cream cheese addition, they’ll be smitten with the wonderful flavor and the soft, chewy texture."
Comments from Bake or Break
I already love peanut butter cookies and the addition of cream cheese must put them over the top. I can't wait to try them.
