While we love to cook up (and eat) our in-house Southern Kitchen recipes, we still spend plenty of time reading recipes from bloggers and other food websites. Every Friday, we'll round up some of our favorites so that you'll have plenty of fodder for your weekend kitchen experiments.

Our favorite recipes this week include braised short ribs of beef, a loaded baked potato tot waffle, and a twist on pumpkin pie. It's time to get cooking.

Braised short ribs of beef

It’s getting cold outside and this dish from The Washington Post is sure to warm you up. The best part of this cold-weather comfort food is that “it practically cooks itself.”

Pumpkin pie bombs

This new take on pumpkin pie from Delish creates little handheld desserts that explode with the flavor of fall.  When sealing up the crescent rolls, make sure to pinch all the corners together and form a ball so none of the pumpkin cream cheese mixture escapes while it cooks.

We love baked potatoes and we love waffles, so why not marry the two? This dish from Bon Appetit does just that creating a dish that is perfect for brunch. Be conscious of which bacon you use (make sure it’s high-quality) because the fat will be used to flavor the waffles.
