12 Beers to Serve this Thanksgiving
Move over wine, you aren’t alone anymore. Beer pairings are becoming just as popular as wine pairings these days, and I couldn’t be more excited about it. What I didn’t like about preparing this list, was how many more beers I wanted to add to it. The list of Fall and Winter beers that […]
Apple Cider and Cranberry Sangria
If any of you know me at all, I’m not a big cocktail drinker. Sure, I enjoy a mojito or a martini every once in a while, but I think the title of my blog says it all. I tend to lean towards beer: really good craft beer. Sangria is different though; and although […]
20 Thanksgiving Recipes That Will Rock Your World
It’s about that time for a good round up, and since we are less than a week away from the biggest food day of the year, a Thanksgiving round up was certainly in order. Of course, I am missing the star of the show in this round up: the turkey. To be honest, I […]
Autumn Salad with Butternut Squash
I love the idea of serving a salad for Thanksgiving dinner. Normally, there are so many heavy foods thrown into the mix (at least in my home there are (=). A salad is the perfect way to tone the heaviness of every other dish on the table. Honestly, I like this Autumn salad with […]
Chocolate Chip and Bacon Pumpkin Scones (with cinnamon glaze)
I don’t know about you, but the last thing I want to think about on Thanksgiving is breakfast. I mean I have so much more to worry about, and breakfast is usually the furthest thing from my mind. Then there’s the whole idea of getting too full on breakfast to enjoy the actual turkey […]
Creamy Ranch Carrot Casserole
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 […]
Chocolate Pecan Pie
When I asked Zach what kind of pie he wanted me to try out this week, he immediately wanted pecan pie. I had no idea he loved pecan pie! I’m kind of sad that I didn’t know this, but I really didn’t mind. I think that deep down inside I really wanted pecan pie […]
Perfect Turnip and Garlic Mashed Potatoes
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 […]
Butternut Squash Gratin
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 […]
