It’s beginning to feel a lot like fall these days – Halloween decorations, pumpkin candles burning in the background, Nora Jones playing in the kitchen…. Fall! I knew I wanted a little treat to go along with all Autumn sites and smells. So when Tieghan Gerard of halfbakedharvest posted this ‘bread’ (aka, cake), this was […]
Thanksgiving
Individual Chicken (or Turkey!) Pot Pies
Last nights dinner was a fun hit! We had “chicken pie” for dinner, which the kids thoughts was hilarious. Pie for dinner?! Hooray! I think they were a little surprised it was a savory pie filled with chicken and veggies, but it had a pie crazy, so they ate it anyway! Parent win! Hooray! These […]
Fluffy Shredded Potato Kugel
It’s September which means Jewish holiday time filled with lots of yummy foods. One of my fondest memories growing up is eating kugel. We would eat it at just about every Jewish holiday because it’s one of those dishes that everyone loved and devoured! But, what is kugel you ask? It’s basically a thick hash […]
Sweet Corn and Thyme Cornbread Cake
Over the years, I’ve made a LOT of corn muffins and corn bread. It was my job to make our families mini corn muffins every year for Thanksgiving. I loved making them, but if I’m being honest, I didn’t like how they tasted. They were so dry, but we had a recipe and I had […]
Goat Cheese Herb Stuffed Chicken
Tonight’s dinner was the perfect easy weeknight dinner. It cooked up in under 30 minutes and the girls devoured it (and so did Trevor and I!)! It’s really easy and you might even have everything on hand already. Go check, I’ll wait… π
Roasted Carrots & Brussels Sprouts
Here’s a quick and easy side dish for any holiday or weeknight where you need a tasty side dish. The roasting brings out the natural flavors of both the carrots and sprouts, which can otherwise be tasteless.Β It’s easy to put together and even easier to cook up. Just slice and roast and it’s done! Happy […]
Basic Sweet Cranberry Sauce
I’ve made a lot of cranberry sauces over the years (tropical cranberry sauce, roasted grape, apple and cranberry sauce, cranberry orange relish) and now, I finally decided to just make a basic cranberry sauce. WHY DID I WAIT!?!? π This is so super easy, so super good and was perfect with our holiday turkey tonight. […]
Instant Pot Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup
Soup! My all-time favorite meal. You can mix and meat and/or veg into a bowl with broth and it’s always delicious. Don’t believe me? Try any number of my 30+ soups I’ve made (recipes here)! This one is no exception. I used the leftover stock from Thanksgiving that I made and it made it that […]
5-Ingredient Cranberry Brie Cinnamon Puff Pastry Swirls
The other day, I was was on Instagram watching some Instastories and HalfBakedHarvest made these delicious, festive cranberry brie cinnamon puff pastry swirls and I knew that I was going to make them for the holidays this year! They looked sweet and savory with a bit of crunch, but also soft and gooey. They scream […]
Cornbread Brioche Custard Stuffing
A couple of months ago, we moved to the South (to Florida!) so I wanted to pay tribute to that for our Thanksgiving dinner this year. I made a tropical cranberry sauce and of course a turkey (using a cheese cloth wrap that made it taste diving)! We had a bunch of greens (like these […]
