Boona's Butterscotch Cheesecake Bars
These easy to make bars have been a hit in my family for years! I first made them in 4-H over 15 years ago! They are always requested for family gatherings. Who can resist butterscotch and cheesecake?!?
Feta Cheese French Toast with Spiced Honey Syrup
This does sound kind of crazy and to be honest, when I first tried it, I didn't think it would work, but oh, does it work well. It's one of the best French toasts I've ever had, especially with the spiced honey syrup we're going to serve it with, which was just an absolute perfect pairing.
Toad in the Hole
You know that something with a name like this is going to be good and this truly is! The traditional recipe itself is very simple but the method for making it is not, so I developed this "cold oven cheater method" which is much safer and easier. The end result is an amazing flavor and texture combination of juicy sausages, crispy, puffed, and tender Yorkshire pudding, and delicious onion gravy. And the gravy is so good you'll want to eat it on just about anything (and everything!)
