"Even grits skeptics won’t be able to resist the cheesy, loaded appeal of this Southern staple. Savory pork sausage crumbles, chopped green chiles, a blend of sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack and a hot pepper butter sauce make it irresistible. One scoop and you’ll be hooked."  Comment from Taste of Home

Grits is one of my favorite things to make for any time of day.  This recipe sounds delicious, loaded grits is a good description.

Strawberry Cheesecake Cinnamon Rolls

"The rolls are made with yeasted dough, just as in a classic cinnamon roll recipe. However, instead of a traditional cinnamon-sugar filling, they’re dressed up with strawberry jam and chopped fresh strawberries for bright and fruity flavor. For the cheesecake component, we spread a dreamy cream cheese glaze over the top and serve the cinnamon rolls warm. They’re the perfect addition to a special occasion brunch spread or lovely for a cozy Sunday morning at home."  Comment from Taste of Home

Love this recipe and would love to make them.

"These creamy Mississippi chicken enchiladas take creamy, cheesy slow cooker Mississippi chicken, flavored with pepperoncini and ranch dressing, to a new level. Shredding the chicken and making baked enchiladas is the obvious next step."  Comment from All Recipes

Looks delicious and love that it is prepared in the slow cooker.  I'm not sure about the pepperoncini and would probably substitute with poblano peppers.

"From the Recipe Creator:
 This traditional yeast bread wonderfully reflects my Scandinavian heritage. Flaky layers of tender dough are flavored with almond paste. The unique sugar cookie crumb coating adds the perfect amount of sweetness to this Danish Kringle recipe. —Lorna Jacobsen, Arrowwood, Alberta

Flaky Danish Kringle is a festive showstopper and an ideal choice for a winter brunch when everyone’s craving something comforting and impressive without being too heavy. Classic fillings include almond paste or marzipan, chopped nuts, fruit or pie-style flavors like raspberry, cherry or apple, plus rich cream cheese.

"These orange cookies are soft and tender with plenty of fresh orange flavor, thanks to both zest and juice in the dough, and finished with a spooned-on orange icing that sets beautifully on top.  

A combination of butter and cream gives them a rich, bakery-style texture, while a touch of almond extract adds a little extra depth without sealing the spotlight from the citrus."  Comment from Bake or Break

Citrus pastries are among my favorites.  These orange cookies sound delicious and I need to make them.

Old-Fashioned Cabbage Rolls

 


Photo source:  Southern Living

"Our version of the traditional cabbage rolls borrows most heavily from the Polish style, which is tender cabbage leaves enveloping a savory mixture of meat, pork, and rice. But to make it Southern (because that's what we do), we've spiced up the tomato sauce with a bit of Creole seasoning. We've also added body and flavor to the tomato sauce with the holy trinity, a mixture of bell pepper, onion, and celery."  Comment from Southern Living

Cabbage rolls are one of those meals I have never had and would love to make.  I like the combination of classic and creole.

Crockpot Chili

"This chili isn’t your typical “dump and forget it” crockpot recipe like recipe like most on my blog.  It’s better because it’s slow cooked.

Slow cooking is the first secret to award-winning chili. It blends flavors, tenderizes beans and veggies, and makes the meat juicy and tender.

The second secret is browning first. Sautéing the veggies and browning the beef before adding them to the crockpot adds layers of flavor."  Comment from Chelsea's Messy Apron

Everything about this recipe gets my attention.  Slow cooking is becoming one of my favorite ways of cooking, I love the ingredients and I'm currently in search of a good chili recipe.  I'll let you know when I find it, but this is the first one to get my attention.

This recipe turns out subtly seasoned chops nestled in a rich, creamy sauce that’s just begging to be mopped up with a slice of bread or a forkful of mashed potatoes. And the best part? It all comes together in one pan. That means less cleanup and more time to savor every delicious bite."  Comment from Taste of Home
