It’s here, it’s here, it’s finally here! OCTOBER is here, everyone! This is the start of my favorite season. A season where the heat finally burns off, pop-up pumpkin patches are a plenty, boots/scarves/and jackets start to make their way to the front of the closet, and the joyous hopeful attitudes that come with the […]
Every single Thanksgiving morning I make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip pancakes. It’s my way of inaugurating this fantastic holiday filled with indulgence. I feel justified because I really only eat two meals on Thanksgiving anyways, breakfast and dinner (well then seconds and thirds of dinner too, but who’s counting.) 🙂 This recipe should look familiar, as […]
In my opinion, no Thanksgiving can go without the classic American dessert, apple pie. I love using the tart and crispy granny smith apples in my recipe, they hold their texture so much better in baking than the red varieties. I also like to mix it up and add fresh cranberries to my apple pies during […]
If I was forced to only eat one Thanksgiving dish and unable to eat anything else for the rest of the meal my choose is simple, mashed potatoes. Maybe it’s the German in me, but whatever it is I love potatoes in any form they are served. Mashed potatoes can be made simply with just […]
I’ve been told many times that people think I am older than I am, which immediately sends me to a mirror desperately checking for signs like wrinkles, gray hair, etc…. I know there are many factors that contribute to this thought and that at my age it’s actually a compliment. People say it’s the way I […]
3 more days and Thanksgiving will be here! Â I know most of the emphasis is on the main course and desserts, but let’s not forget about the appetizers, it’s the warm up to the meal. Also let’s be honest, are you ever done cooking by the time you say you will be? I know I’m […]
One of the best sweet potato dishes I’ve ever had was at Ruth Chris’ Steakhouse. Their sweet potato casserole is to die for! I obviously can’t get their recipe but over the last couple years I’ve tweaked and tested a few different recipes and have come up with something pretty delicious. I think the secret […]
1 week until Thanksgiving and what’s a Thanksgiving without cornbread?! Instead of risking a dry uninspired dish or drenching your bread in honey hoping to mask the dryness try making my Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread Muffins. The sharp cheddar cheese gives these muffins a bite while the jalapenos create a pleasant boost. Want the secret to […]
There’s a great debate on our hands people, you’re either one way or another. You either drench your Thanksgiving plate in gravy or cranberry sauce. Take a stand. 🙂 Myself, I choose to be on the cranberry sauce side which is actually surprising to me because I often choose salty over sweet. I think the reason […]
T-9 days until Thanksgiving! Yay! Why not celebrate with a tasty “sure-to-be-on-everyone’s-table” recipe? A side dish with an identity complex, one of those “soda vs. pop” items: sourdough stuffing bursting with apples, caramelized onions, parsley, sage, (no rosemary), and thyme. I don’t know about you, but for me I think stuffing is the one item […]
