Cooking with Paula Deen
(December, 2009)

 

I made these for a cookie exchange this Christmas and everyone loved them! One change I had to make, though, was using 2 lbs of the chocolate instead of just 1.

I made these a 2nd time recently and instead of doing individual cups I layered it in a 8x8 pan. One of the chocolate packages was enough doing it this way, and I used only half of the peanut butter mixture. I had to play around with the chocolate to get the correct thickness - the 2nd pan was better than the first.

Chuck Wagon Beans

It's been a long time since I made this recipe (years), but I made it several times, so it must have been good. Until I make it again, I'll give it 3 stars, but that may change.

Cheddar Cheese Cookies

I was practically weaned on variations of these. I used this recipe for a while years ago, but the variation in Vintage Vicksburg is better.

Sausage Biscuits

There's nothing original about this recipe; you'll find a pretty much identical recipe in any Southern recipe collection. Doesn't mean they're not tasty, though!

Fettuccine Alfredo

This doesn't taste like fettuccine Alfredo, but it's an easy dish that tastes pretty good. Not for those watching their figure!

Hello Dolly Cookies

You might know these as 5-layer bars or Dream Bars. Another recipe you'll find in many cookbooks. So yummy and easy!

Bistecca alla Fiorentina

I'm one to marinate my steaks pretty heavily, so this basic recipe was a bit of a departure for me. It was heavenly!

I used the blue cheese butter portion of this when I made Bistecca alla Fiorentino, and it was great! Really enhanced the flavor of the steak.

Using this recipe, our pork chops were grilled to perfection. My only complaint was that the garlic stuffed into the chops didn't soften.
