Bring some summertime fare into the kitchen this winter! Don't stop at this recipe, chicken, and cheese, you can also use sliced jalapeno peppers with Monterey Jack cheese and cream cheese for a Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Pretzel!

Beer and Barbecue Stuffed Pretzels

This bread pudding is anything but typical. It is beautifully sweetened, less dense and 'gummy' than many other equivalent puddings and the sweet, caramelized crust that forms makes you want to just pick it off first then eat the middle later.

Not at all what other sites tout as authentic Buckle. This Triple Berry Buckle is truly the way to do it, with just enough cake batter to hold together the rich, syrupy fruit that is bubbling up through the batter that "buckles" as it's cooking.

We New Englanders were the first to make corn meal mush back in the 17th century and this delicious side dish is so cheap to make, I hope you rethink spending so much in an upscale restaurant for something you can make at home for pennies a serving.

This New England-style recipe is considered Yankee because it has the great tang of cranberries and another layer of sweet apples mixed into the dates. I prefer using apple cider here but juice is perfectly fine. These date-filled cookies are taken to a whole other level, you can't go much higher than these deliciously crisp, stuffed sugar cookies.

Us Yankees have been enjoying this dish for just as long but called Scootin' 'Long the Shore. And as much as I would like to add this and that to this version, I decided to take the critic's blows for offering a "dull and idiot simple" New England classic Pan Haggerty.

Served in Scottish Shortbread "cups," these appetizers are sticky, salty-sweet and delicious. Shortbread has been around for many centuries, thought to have originated in Scotland as a specifically designed biscuit using yeast.
