delicious seasonal eats
Ah, the green smoothie. For me, it’s a thing of beauty. I love eating my greens, but I also love starting my day by sipping them in a cold green smoothie. It’s kind of addicting! Once you start, you’ll never go back. I’m calling this one Kale Sunrise Smoothie because it tastes kind of tropical […]
With Thanksgiving arriving this week, I have had herbs and spices on my mind. One thing I always seem to forget to buy is poultry seasoning. That’s something that seems like it should be in my spice cupboard. It got me to thinking that I should make my own homemade poultry seasoning to have on […]
Becky of Project Domestication and I have teamed up again this month to share one more Thanksgiving recipe just in case you needed another item to add to your growing menu. You do, right? I mean can you ever have enough side dishes on Thanksgiving? I think not! Make sure to pop over and check […]
Last week I joined with some other food blogger friends for a Thanksgiving meal together. We gathered at Ashlee’s house, each of us bringing several of our favorite recipes for our Thanksgiving menu. It was so fun to have a “practice” Thanksgiving. It really put me in the mood for next week! Ashlee, Jesseca, Yvonne […]

I’ve been making Cornbread Sausage Stuffing with Leeks, Pecans, and Dried Cranberries for nine years. Every. single. year. Without fail. Always for Thanksgiving and sometimes for Christmas too. Okay, and really, sometimes I make it during the summer just because I can and twice a year doesn’t seem like enough. Also, I need to mention, […]
Folks, let me introduce you to what is quite possibly my favorite Thanksgiving dessert – Oatmeal Pecan Tart. Of course I always say that, don’t I? Every year we have try a new recipe and if it’s a huge hit, we add it to our yearly repertoire of traditional Thanksgiving fare. Back in 2006 I […]
This Maple Mustard Roasted Chicken is the quintessential fall dinner. My family absolutely loves roasted chicken and over the years I’ve practiced and practiced until I’ve perfected it. I loved the idea of using maple in a savory way with the spiciness of English dry mustard. I love the spicy kick ground mustard powder adds. […]
A few years ago I wrote a Mashed Potatoes 101 guide. I pride myself on making fabulous mashed potatoes. I really do. Last year I mastered what I (then) called the perfect mashed potatoes thanks to a tip from one of my favorite local chefs. And now I have mastered Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes with […]
Warm Pear Nutmeg Streusel Muffins, fresh from the oven, are the perfect fall breakfast or snack. I’ve been making a non-gf version of these muffins for years. The idea came to me the other morning to make a batch of gluten-free muffins and add diced pears to the batter. It was a brilliant move, if […]
