Hot Honey Chicken Tenders

1 week ago | tasteofhome.com | Susan Bronson

Chicken tenders are always a family favorite, especially on busy weeknights when time is of the essence. While it’s easy to grab a bag of frozen chicken tenders from the freezer section in the grocery store, it’s nearly just as easy to make them from scratch at home—all it takes are a few simple ingredients.

Blueberry Pasta Salad

Sometimes recipe inspiration comes from the most random places. I’ve been reading the book Eat Up, Bear! on a daily basis with my son. The premise of this story is that if people properly store their food when camping and hiking, bears will eat “good bear food” and not people food. As I was thinking about ingredients to incorporate into this blueberry pasta salad recipe, the story (which I’ve basically memorized at this point) made me wonder what a bear might want in a tasty salad.
Golden Cadillac

The idea for the Golden Cadillac cocktail came from Poor Red’s BBQ, a bar in the Sierra Nevada foothills town of El Dorado, California. Legend has it that a newly-engaged couple requested a celebratory cocktail that matched the color of their gold Cadillac. Bartender Frank Klein invented the golden-hued cocktail by combining Galliano with creme de cacao and heavy cream.
Pickle-Brined Chicken

I am a firm believer in the pickle theory, which is the idea that a relationship can only be harmonious when there is one person who loves pickles and another who doesn’t. I must admit that I’m not the biggest fan of pickles, but my husband will happily take them off my plate. And I kid you not, my five-year-old loves pickles so much, he claims that pickle juice is his favorite beverage (we let him drink some pickle juice once).

I Made Carol Burnett's 'Raspberry Riches' Cake, and It's Delightful

2 months ago | tasteofhome.com | Susan Bronson

I have been a Carol Burnett fan since her turn as the villainous Miss Hannigan in Annie. (Yes, I’m a child of the 1980s). And I absolutely loved her role as Norma Dellacorte in 2024’s Palm Royale. She is perhaps most well-known for The Carol Burnett Show, a popular variety show that aired during the 1960s and ’70s. With a stage, television and film career that has spanned over 60 years, she is truly an American icon.
