{from scratch holidays} Brussels Sprouts w/ Home-Cured Bacon
Poor Brussels sprouts. Always the punchline to bad jokes about foods people were forced to eat as a child. These little green globes don’t get the love they should. In fact, I always thought they were a bit “blah” until I had them fresh from the stalk as opposed to boiled from a freezer bag….
{from scratch holidays} Turkey Tetrazzini
Thanksgiving in my home is usually just the two of us. Every year, the spouse says “Let’s just get a turkey breast this year.. no need to get a whole bird.” But every year I get a whole turkey anyway. I really enjoy roasting a whole bird and take a lot of pleasure in the…
{from scratch holidays} How to Make GF Stuffing
Family recipes for stuffing are as unique as families themselves. No matter what recipe you follow or what you add to your stuffing, here’s how to make delicious stuffing that just happens to be gluten-free: 1) Bake or buy a loaf of gluten-free bread. For stuffing, my preference is gluten-free white sandwich bread. Why? It…
{from scratch holidays} Cranberry Squares
Thanksgiving and its attendant leftovers are my favorite things about that holiday. I’m sure my family isn’t alone in that planning the Thanksgiving meal also means planning for maximum leftover efficiency. We all have our favorites – my son is the stuffing king, my daughter hoards the mashed potatoes and gravy, and my husband loves…

{from scratch holidays} Bourbon Brown Butter Sweet Potatoes
The leaves are on the ground, pumpkins on every doorstep and the crazy holiday season is creeping up on us. I love this time of year and I tend to cook more intensely during this season. The crisp freshness of summer foods usually cooks quickly and effortlessly. This time of year food slows down and…

{from scratch holidays} Roasted Root Vegetables
After a great harvest I’m always looking for a way to use up my root vegetables. It’s so easy to incorporate these little gems into your Thanksgiving festivities this week. Root vegetables are so flavorful and also oh so good for you. Back in September, I snuck out to my dad’s house for a whole…
{from scratch holidays} whats in your bread basket?
Thanksgiving in my family is a big deal. Usually anywhere from 35-50 people, mostly related (my mom is one of nine… two generations later and there are a lot of cousins to go around), gathered together in one home. Several turkeys, Pop’s special stuffing, potatoes, veggies, tons of pies, you get the idea. I’d like…
{from scratch holidays} Sweet Potato & Kale Casserole
I don’t think I’d ever made a casserole before. I wasn’t even sure I had a casserole dish. My venture in to this new territory was made even more exciting for me because I didn’t strictly follow a recipe. I found a Martha Stewart recipe that resembled something I imagined was both healthy and tasty…
{Leftovers} Thanksgiving Roasted Vegetables
We hosted Thanksgiving this year, and even though we did a potluck style dinner, we still have a fridge FULL of leftovers. I have big plans for our turkey that were not difficult to figure out(creamy rice soup, sandwiches, and lots of pot pies for the freezer!). Other items have left me a bit stumped…
