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 […]
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 […]
The Only Cranberry Sauce Recipe You Will Need This Thanksgiving
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 […]
Happy Halloween! We Made Marshmallows!
So, I was debating on whether or not I was going to post a Halloween-themed recipe today. Originally, I completely forgot about it, and was going to post the absolute perfect brussel sprouts recipe for Turkey Day. Don’t worry, that recipe will be up this weekend, but I didn’t think that brussel sprouts and […]
Apple Pie Bars
I’ll let you guys in on a little secret, I absolutely hate making apple pie. The problem is that I love to EAT apple pie. I’ve tried to make it in the past, and let’s just be honest, it isn’t a walk in the park. It’s especially difficult when you make your own pie […]
