"These corn tortillas are the real thing! A simple mixture of masa harina and water results in the most wonderful corn tortillas you've ever tasted. The secret is to use a cast iron pan." comment about corn tortillas recipe from All Recipes.
The Captain and I made homemade corn tortillas all the time. They were excellent even using a stainless steel frying pan. The difference between homemade and store bought is like night and day. We made tortilla chips using the same dough.

"Ground beef taco dip is packed with flavor yet super simple to make, thanks to a few handy ingredients. Packets of store-bought taco seasoning add spice. A mix of sour cream and cream cheese (low-fat if you like) builds a super-smooth base. And a top layer of fresh vegetables creates a dash of crunch." - description of recipe from Taste of Home.
This taco dip is like one I used to make a long time ago that was always one of the first things to go. Everyone loved it. I have the recipe around here somewhere and I will post when I find it.

WOW! What a presentation! The recipe creator says this cheesecake is a showstopper and just from the photo, I agree that it is. If it tastes as good as it looks, this is a winner. But how can you go wrong with a cheesecake that contains coconut, cherries and fudgy chocolate. Outstanding!

"When it comes to planning dinner, it’s often tricky to find a filling, nourishing meal that will appeal to kids and feature a few veggies. Kind of a cross between chicken pot pie and Midwestern hot dish recipes, this chicken Tater Tot casserole ticks every box. It’s pure comfort food that even the pickiest eaters will love" - description of recipe by Taste of Home.
Gotta love it if it contains tater tots, chicken and cream of chicken soup! Love that it is easy and can be frozen for another even easier meal. And look at that presentation!

"When the cookie tray needs some sparkle, turn to this festive recipe. A Christmas classic goes from traditional to fabulous when dipped in melted white chocolate and rolled in nonpareils and edible glitter. The slightly fruity treat is one of our most popular cookie recipes of all time." - description of cookie from Better Homes and Gardens.
Sounds like this is the perfect gift-giving, delicious Christmas/holiday cookie. And it makes such a beautiful presentation.

"One of the most common answers to "What is your favorite Christmas cookie?" has to be "Thumbprints!" Not only can these sweets be baked and frozen up to three months in advance for a stress-free season, but they can also be dressed up with all kinds of flavor combos. Might we recommend lemon-coconut, almond-cherry, or peanut butter and jelly?" - description of recipe from Better Homes and Gardens.
Love the fact that they are so easy to make ahead and freeze, also so many variations are possible. They are a very versatile cookie.
The beautiful photo with different versions of the same cookie gave me an idea for homemade gift-giving package . . . make different versions and make packages mixing them up. It would make an awesome colorful presentation.

"If your favorite part of a classic apple pie is the filling, where all those soft apples are covered in a cinnamon-sugar sauce, then you need to make our very best deep-dish apple pie recipe. A deep-dish apple pie is baked in, well, a deep dish, like a 13×9-inch pan. This means there’s a lot more room to pile in a mountain of apples, so there’s even more filling. Of course, the quintessential flaky pie crust is baked right on top until it’s golden brown and the filling becomes bubbly and thick" - description of this recipe by Taste of Home.
Anything with a good apple pie filling is good for me . . . but this pie looks extra special. Does it get any better than this?

"Every Southerner has their own recipe for fried potatoes and onions. It's one passed from cook to cook, learned by watching, not written technique. After all, fried potatoes and onions aren't just a side dish—they're a piece of Southern culinary history, with each family's recipe reflecting their unique combination of seasonings and technique" - Elizabeth Nelson, recipe creator. Click here to go to the recipe page at Southern Living.
My version of this recipe follows.
1. Cut potatoes in bite sized pieces and cook them with a little butter in the microwave for about 6 or 7 minutes. I don't always peel the potatoes, but sometimes I do.
2. While potatoes are cooking, peel and slice onion.
3. A twist to my recipe . . . slice mushrooms, whatever type you like. Leave it out if you don't like them. Sometimes I add green pepper or poblano pepper to make it extra special.
4. Sauté and caramelize the onions and mushrooms in butter.
5. After potatoes have cooked until almost tender in the microwave, add to the caramelizing onions and mushrooms. Add more butter if necessary.
6. Sauté on medium heat until the potatoes are browned and crispy. I can't really say how long this takes. Stir often and nurture it, you don't want it to burn. Don't walk away from it either.
I hope that made sense! This has been the method I've used since I was a teenager. Potatoes are one of my favorite foods.
"In the South, everyone loves three things: bacon, cheese and grits! After playing around with this recipe, I took it to my first family party as a newlywed, and it was a huge hit. This recipe has become a family tradition that I'm sure will be passed down for generations" - comment from Melissa Rogers, the recipe creator.
This southern girl loves grits! I've mentioned in another grits recipe that I love them so much I make a pot of them, add cheese and butter and that is my meal. This recipe is on my list of new recipes to try.

"If you love pecan pie but don’t always want to fuss with a traditional pie crust, this pecan pie coffee cake is the answer. It’s part cozy coffee cake, part gooey pecan pie, and completely irresistible. A fluffy buttermilk cake base bakes up light and soft, then gets topped with a rich, pecan-filled mixture that soaks into the cake for layers of flavor and texture in every bite" - description of recipe from Bake or Break.

Some of the foods surprised me and some I already knew about. My air fryer is large enough to fit some Corning ware. Individual silicone cupcake liners are for more than just cupcakes. My stove is rarely turned on anymore since I have tried to find ways to bake most of what I want within reason. I still haven't mastered baking a frozen pizza in there.
