Blueberry Cobbler

June 14, 2010/ Lisa Carpenter

Warm fruit dishes topped with vanilla ice cream are among my most favorite of things in the universe. This cobbler, a tweaked version of "Patsy's Blackberry Cobbler" from The Pioneer Woman Cooks cookbook, is one of my very favorite of all. If blueberries aren't your thing — or if there's a great deal on another fresh or frozen fruit — take heart in knowing that two cups of any fruit can be substituted for the blueberries.

Chewy Chocolate Cookies

May 03, 2010/ Lisa Carpenter

This is my second most popular cookie recipe, after chocolate chip cookies. It's a Hershey's recipe that I've tweaked a bit. I like using white chocolate chips, but it's also great with semi-sweet chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. You may even want to try it with the cherry chips you can find in the baking aisle for a chocolate-covered-cherry version.

Quick and Easy Chili

February 21, 2010/ Lisa Carpenter

This recipe makes a big pot of chili, easily enough for 10 servings. If you don't need that much chili, cut the recipe in half. Or—my favorite—use the leftovers for a supper of Chili Mac (cook up some elbow macaroni, add the chili, heat through, and top with cheddar cheese).

Pomegranate Refrigerator Jelly

Super easy, super yummy jelly. I love this stuff on saltine crackers ... and toast ... and English muffins ... and licked out of the pan after filling all the jelly jars!

BBQ Chicken Pizza

January 19, 2010/ Lisa Carpenter

A perfect blend of chicken, sauce and cilantro. (I love cilantro!) I use the deliciously tangy Pomegrante Barbecue Sauce but any barbecue sauce will do.
