HEAVENLY HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS These are the most straightforward cinnamon rolls from scratch.  They are perfect for yeast beginners because there is only one 30-minute rise.  This is the best cinnamon roll recipe you will ever make. It only took a little nudging from the family for me to make my homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast this Thanksgiving morning.  Over the years, I have tweaked this recipe from my Mother's recipe for Angel Biscuits.  I think each time I make them, my daughter, Jennifer, says, "Mom, these are the best ones you have ever made."  From the Grandchildren and Jim asking me to make them, they just keep getting better and better every time. This is a light dough, yet loaded with lots of butter, sugar, and cinnamon and lavishly drizzled with heavenly icing.  They ...

BLACKBERRY SWEET ROLLS Your weekend will get a lot sweeter with these blackberry sweet rolls, which are so delicious. Blackberry season is just around the corner, and the first thing I want to make is the  Blackberry Dumpling Cobbler .   Last year, I couldn't stop buying the large cartons of blackberries at SAMs.   The price always drops around this time of year, so it is worth buying several cartons and keeping them in the freezer for later in the year to make these Blackberry Sweet Rolls. Sweet rolls are a favorite weekend breakfast treat. My go-to recipe is Homemade Cinnamon Rolls. They rise for 30 minutes and bake for 15 minutes, making them perfect, no fuss sweet rolls.

Hatch Chili Pepper Cornbread

Hatch Pepper Cornbread ,  spicy, robust flavor from hatch chili peppers in classic cornbread gives a smooth heat rather than a kick.  The difference in the taste profile is due to the soil and climate in which the chili peppers are grown. HATCH MEXICAN CORNBREAD This Hatch Mexican Cornbread is embellished with sharp cheddar cheese, buttermilk, and the star of the recipe, hatch chili peppers. Every year, I look forward to the Hatch Chili Pepper season. It starts around the first of August and lasts until the end of September, but depending on the weather, the season can run shorter or longer. All the buzz about the Hatch Chili Pepper comes from its distinct flavor, which is smoky and sweet yet still packed with some heat without being too spicy, like the jalapeno pepper. Right now, my local grocery stores are showcasing all the ways to enjoy the Hatch Chili Peppers, from using them in salsa to adding them to ice cream.

I would serve a one pot dish, like Shrimp Creole over buttered rice, green salad, and for dessert, we would have chocolate cake.  Oh, the memories are flooding in.  sniff sniff!

HONEY PUMPKIN CORNBREAD This pumpkin cornbread, lightly sweetened with honey, is rich and moist and has plenty of pumpkin flavor.  It's the perfect accompaniment to any side dish for soups, stews, and chili, not to mention a must on your Thanksgiving table.    When October comes around, I start thinking of all the pumpkin recipes I can make.  Last year, I wanted to make Honey Pumpkin Cornbread but never got around to making it.  For me, making any kind of cornbread other than the traditional is stepping outside of the box, but I must say, it is absolutely delicious. I couldn't decide whether to go all from scratch or use a self-rising cornmeal mix. I always like to use a whole can of canned pumpkin puree. It seems that if I don't, the rest of what I don't use gets thrown away, and I can't stand to waste anything. This recipe is more like a sweet cake-l...
