Spinach Salad with Hot Bacon Dressing
This hot bacon spinach salad with black-eyed peas is a twist on one of my favorite culinary traditions: serving beans and greens on New Year's Day. Greens represent paper money and beans symbolize coins. Here I present these ingredients in salad form, which is a great delivery system for hot bacon dressing.
Creamy Apple Blueberry Pie
I created this wonderful creamy apple blueberry pie recipe from a few other recipes. It is a nice blend of fruit and cream with a crispy top.
Chocolate Funfetti Cake
Sprinkles make everything more fun—and this chocolate funfetti cake proves it! To make the cake layers easier to frost, I recommend carefully wrapping them in plastic wrap, then placing them either in the fridge or freezer until chilled.
