"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.

"We love Texas Roadhouse; it has quickly become one of our favorite restaurants. However, it can be pricey, so we decided to make some copycats of our favorites" - comment from Maria.

That chicken dish looks delicious, just missing some mashed potatoes.
