I’ve got another picnic recipe for you today! Hey! I forewarned you that I was in a picnic mood. I can’t stop. I won’t stop. I promise I’ll bake something this weekend. I promise. It’s supposed to rain anyway, and if there’s anything that helps in getting rid of those rainy day blues, it’s …

  Let’s be honest with ourselves, grits have to be one of the most amazing dishes on the planet. I love them all ways, especially when they are mixed with a ton of cheese! This particular recipe just happens to be vegetarian (I know … it doesn’t happen very often) and packed with goat cheese …

  Here is another instance where I decided to cook with beer. I know! That’s twice in one week! I don’t know what to make of this, but let’s just go with it. This won’t become a common occurrence by any means, but it’s fun to go crazy once in a while. So anyway, as …

  You guys. These carrots. I don’t even have the words to describe them. It was kind of a last minute decision to throw them into a casserole dish. Originally, I had thought to make a glazed carrots recipe (which is how I normally make them), but a casserole sounded much more fun…and it was…it …

  In our home, mashed potatoes are a must for a Thanksgiving side dish. You can’t have turkey without mashed potatoes, and you can’t have mashed potatoes without turkey (or duck…or goose…or ham…or whatever else floats your boat). That’s just how it works around here. There’s just something about the two. I think they were …

  Gratins and I are a match made in heaven. Anything that is covered with creamy, cheesy goodness and baked to a crisp is a winner in my book. This is exactly what this recipe entails. I wanted to do something a little bit different than your ordinary potato gratin. I thought that butternut squash …

  Well I have another confession to make. I have always hated cranberry sauce. I don’t know what about the stuff makes me dislike it so much. Growing up, I’m pretty sure that my mom was the ONLY person who would eat it. I made it a personal goal this year to come up with …
