This July Fourth, ditch the usual fireworks and whip up some colorful treats that will light up your table instead.

Today is officially Pepper Pot Day! Oh, wait! You don't know what that is? Ha! I had to look it up, too. Turns out, it's actually a pretty cool story! Pepper Pot is a thick, spicy soup that dates back to December 29, 1777 during the Revolutionary War!

Who doesn't love chocolate? Chocolate makes just about everything taste better! Chocolate on strawberries, bananas, ice cream and pretzels! Chocolate covered bacon even sounds good!

Cooler weather is here! Next week the forecast is calling for our first freeze! With the colder weather coming, I can't help but think of foods that warm you up.

Do you know what this is? Take your best guess in today's edition of Patterson's Pixels!

Every fall, it seems like I am always scrambling to find other uses for fresh pumpkin. Since you're likely in the same boat, I decided to share seven recipes featuring pumpkin besides pie. (Although I am going to feature a spectacular bonus recipe at the end of this post!) I hope you enjoy these new ideas that are bound to make your autumn a little more tasty. Bon appétit!

Miss Kay Robertson from Duck Dynasty on A&E spends a great deal of time in her kitchen, and from the way her family goes on about her cooking, we just have to try some of her homemade biscuits with this recipe from Parade Magazine.

It's no secret that I love to eat, but I also enjoy cooking a great deal. However, most of my cooking is BBQ, and I cook with a big pit-smoker. I do watch a lot of those shows on the food network, and I am a big fan of Gordon Ramsey's cooking shows, especially "Master Chef". I like that one in particular, because it's everyday folks like you and me.
