Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you are enjoying today with all of the important people in your life. I had an early delicious dinner with my family and now I need to rest up because I have to work tonight for (what used to be) Black Friday. I certainly have a lot to be thankfulRead more
Pumpkin Chai Latte Cupcakes
With Thanksgiving only 2 days away, I thought I’d squeeze in one more fall recipe. It seems that every year after Thanksgiving we all get into holiday mode (some may already be there!) and start shopping, decorating, and making cookies. I’m always sad to see fall go because I love it so much, but IRead more
Cranberry Salad
This family recipe always makes an appearance on my holiday table. It’s so much more complex than the average cranberry sauce and it makes a perfect sandwich spread for all of that leftover turkey! If there is one recipe that always makes an appearance at my Thanksgiving dinner, it’s this cranberry salad. I’ll admit – I never ateRead more
Coleslaw
Classic, creamy coleslaw – enough said! Coleslaw always makes an appearance at every holiday meal in my house. Well, I shouldn’t say always because there’s always one holiday that we forget it! This is one side that I don’t always make from scratch – seafood stores always have good coleslaw. With the hustle and bustleRead more
Mashed Potato Stuffing
Classic stuffing combines with mashed potatoes for the best (and never dry) Thanksgiving side! This one is perfect for smothering in gravy alongside the turkey. Stuffing is a “must-have” side dish for any Thanksgiving meal. This special version combines stuffing with mashed potatoes, which means 2 sides in one! It wouldn’t Thanksgiving for me withoutRead more
Sweet Potato Gratin
Sweet potatoes are layered with flavorful ingredients and a delicious, creamy sauce in this Thanksgiving side dish. Even sweet potato haters are going to love this one! You can’t have a traditional Thanksgiving meal without sweet potatoes, and if you’re anything like me you may not be into the usual candied variety. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothingRead more
Chicken Tortilla Chili
One of the many things I love about fall is a comforting bowl of soup, stew, or chili. Soups are easy one-pot meals and can be relatively healthy (depending on what you add to them!). Throwing a bunch of ingredients into a slow cooker in the morning and coming home to a warm, delicious-smelling soupRead more
Butternut Squash Crostata with Arugula-Apple Salad
Last week while walking through the produce section of the grocery store, I spotted a big basket of locally grown butternut squash. Butternut squash is, hands down, my favorite fall vegetable – I love it! I immediately started dreaming up different uses for the squash – roasted as a side dish, pureed for lasagna, or sautéed forRead more
