This is the last of the sides from our Thanksgiving. I really do enjoy a good sweet potato casserole. It’s almost as much of a staple as dressing. I wanted something a little different this year, so I instantly picked this Sweet Potatoes and…
Every time I plan a meal, I always feel like I need “something green.” It’s usually an afterthought for big holiday meals because another side (like dressing) is the highlight. I love it when an unexpected side completely steals the show (like these peas…
How was your Thanksgiving? I hope it was amazing with good food and family and friends. This year’s Thanksgiving feast was pretty much a success with no mishaps. In past years, we’ve had a dish or two that didn’t quite cut the mustard (I…
No Thanksgiving would be complete in our house without dessert and a cocktail or two. Dessert is sometimes the hardest decision for me to make. I want them all! Here’s a roundup of desserts and cocktails we’ve enjoyed in the past. I hope you’ll…
Have you planned your menu for Thanksgiving yet? I just finished mine yesterday. I love sitting on the couch, having a huge spread of magazines and cookbooks surrounding me, and making lists! I try to come up with new dishes so we don’t eat…

Ok yes, they’re quirky and some folks don’t like when food looks like other food, but that doesn’t bother me. I think these Meatloaf Cupcakes are so funny and every time I see them, I flash a silly grin. I had such a fun…
I love bread. In any form. I want all the carbs. This past weekend, I made beer bread, bought naan, and baked this amazing Savory Monkey Bread. I have no problem eating incredibly large amounts of bread and calling it dinner. This monkey bread…
This is my second fix from Stitch Fix that I received back in April. What’s Stitch Fix? Read my first post to find out more. I adjusted my style profile from the first fix to remove jewelry (I’d rather have clothes) and no whites…
I know when you’re in the month of November, you don’t really think about smoothies. But you should! There are a lot of tasty fruits that are at their peak during cooler months, and one classic combination that comes to mind is cranberry and…
