There’s quite the story that goes with this Loaded Baked Potato Tots Recipe.
Last week I shared what would be the first recipe in a new series called College Cooking. My 21 year old bonus-son and his roommates requested some recipe inspiration.

There was a time when French Onion Dip was the go-to staple for Game Day or family gatherings.

Homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing is super easy to make at home and just as good if not better than the bottled variety.
