Holiday Leftover Egg Cups

You’re soon to be staring at a huge pile of leftovers that likely took several people hours to prepare. The big meal is great. It really is. But I’m glad to see that, as the years go on, leftovers are getting more excitement and attention than ever before. Turn some of your leftovers into a […]

Stuffed Meatballs with Cranberry Orange Relish

Happy Thanksgiving week! I seriously can’t believe it’s here already. Today I’m bringing you a new idea for a holiday appetizer. Did your mom finally text you back and now she’s demanding that you show up with an appetizer in hand? I’m here for you. I’m on dessert duty myself this year, but if you’ve […]

Pumpkin Brownie Sundaes with “Magic Shell”

I was ADDICTED to “Magic Shell” growing up. If I was having ice cream, I had to have that incredible topping that froze as soon as it hit the ice cream. I loved it then and I love it still. So much so that I decided to incorporate it into a brand new dessert that […]

Autumn Superfood Salad with Maple Mustard Vinaigrette

A few years ago I was having a nice, relaxing, weeknight catch up with my good friends Dave and Chad. It was November, just a few weeks before Thanksgiving, and we were sharing our menus with one another. After I finished telling them what I had planned for the biggest meal of the year, Dave […]

Stuffing

Happy Thursday! I’m happy you’re here, and I’m happy to remind you that Thanksgiving is exactly two weeks from today! 2019 is basically over, it’s fine. I am having a blast creating new Thanksgiving recipes! I think it’s mostly due to the fact that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, as explained in a recent blog […]

Brown Butter and Herb Mashed Potatoes

I consider myself somewhat of a mashed potato connoisseur. Growing up, my favorite meal was Mrs. T’s pierogies. My second favorite meal was rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes, and garlic green beans. My third favorite meal was meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Are you sensing a common theme here? In case you’re struggling, I’ll answer my own […]

Paleo Pumpkin Pie

If you hate traditional pie crusts, do I have a treat in store for you! I too hate pie crust. I love all the delicious innards, but man do I hate the dry, flaky dough that houses them. I don’t know who thought that that would possibly be a good idea for a great tasting […]

Bacon Wrapped Dates

If you’re looking for a super simple appetizer recipe for your upcoming holiday parties, you’ve come to the right place! I know that bacon wrapped dates have been around for a little while, but to my knowledge most people stuff them with some sort of cheese or nothing at all. My version brings something a […]

Classic Chicken Salad

Now that Halloween is over, I thought about just diving headfirst into Thanksgiving recipes. I’ve already got a few up my sleeve for you that you’ll be seeing on the blog in the next few weeks! And who could honestly forget about my Stuffed Acorn Squash from early last week. Now that’s a tasty holiday […]

Spanish Chicken Soup

I ate this soup for lunch every day last week. I finished it and even after eating it for five days straight I miss it and I wish I had more. I think that’s a sure sign of a successful recipe! This recipe was Mike’s idea! We are both big fans of the fully cooked […]
