These cheeseburgers have been trending on social media for a while now, though they are actually a take of a recipe that's been around forever called Hidden Valley Original Ranch Burgers.

Originally made with just ground beef, ranch seasoning mix and cheese, the internet thought to enhance that a tad and it got the reputation of being called "crack" burgers.

Anything that tastes so good it's a bit addictive gets that designation in our modern world, though for the record, I really dislike that. But... the internet is what it is.

Beef chuck roast, generously seasoned with all-purpose seasoning, seared to a rich golden brown, then simmered with sweet onions and aromatic dried herbs in a hearty beef stock - all brought together effortlessly in the Instant Pot for a tender, comforting, flavor-packed finish.

Instant Pot Pot Roast

My favorite way to cook a pot roast is always going to be low and slow whether on the stovetop or in the oven. You just can't beat the result and the aroma while it's cooking is enticing.

When I'm in the mood for a roast but a little more short on time, I've become a big fan of using the Instant Pot for a pot roast too, but I've certainly learned one thing.

Even with the Instant Pot, you still can't rush the process.

Cornbread Collection

I didn't grow up with a lot of cornbread in my life here in the Deep South. We seem to have been more sliced white bread, yeast roll and French bread kind of people.

Over the years of blogging food recipes to the world, I've learned that folks in the Southern U.S. can get very territorial about their cornbread, and boy will they let you know what they think!

But, having the advantage of writing recipes over these years, I've been able to play around with many different variations of cornbread. 

Here's all of the wide variety of ways I've shared here on my website on how to make cornbread. Be sure to check back for updates in the future, as there are many more recipes on the horizon!

Last year, Dolly Parton, together with her sister Rachel, published a cookbook called Good Lookin' Cookin' (#ad) and y'all know, with a name like that, I had to grab me one!

On page 23, there was a recipe for an open-faced sandwich that they called "Chicken Feed," a recipe they had received from a friend years ago and one that had become a family favorite ever since.

Fresh chicken wings, tossed with lemon, seasonings and herbs and air fried.

Air Fryer Lemon Herb Chicken Wings

I love the combination of lemon and herbs with chicken, certainly one of my top favorites for a roasted chicken, so I thought, why not wings?

Afterall, as I write this it's football season and wings are just another football staple now, aren't they?

And let me tell you that if you haven't tried wings in your air fryer you are missing out!

Whole kernel frozen corn and creamed corn, paired up with a thickener and shredded cheese for a quick and easy, cheesy creamed corn your family will love.

Cheesy Creamed Corn

I realize we're on the waning side of in-season summer corn, so while you might just find the last of some fresh corn at the market, as I write this it's September and we're heading into fall.

Think about it. September.

Meaning Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner and this is a great side dish for either of those holidays. Others too and, it works well with a slow cooker! I'd say worth a bookmark.
