12 Yummy Ways to Use up Thanksgiving Leftovers
Thanksgiving = a holiday totally centered around food. And guess who's not complaining about that? 👋 I love how food-centric it is, and I think it's super fun to all get together in the kitchen and cook our faces off, preparing a super comforting, delicious meal for family and friends. And once it's all over, you feast for days on the leftovers...It is BAAEEEE. This statement may offend some ...
Bourbon Brown Sugar Glazed Ham
Um, please stand by while I overcome an emotional moment while g(L)azing (get it?!) at the crunchy exterior of this ham... - - - Thank you for your patience. People, you have not lived unless this ham has been in your life. This literally takes any ham I've ever had and slaps it across the country to a land where mediocre hams are welcome, because they ARE NO LONGER WELCOME ...
Baked 3 Cheese Mac and Cheese
I'm a firm - FIRM - believer in mac and cheese being a mandatory element of a successful and delicious Thanksgiving spread. I've found two parties here: people that are with me and see it as a necessary accompaniment just like stuffing or mashed potatoes, and then the people who never include it with their other sides. If you are in that second group...why? Who hurt you? Jk. BUT let's talk ...
Ciabatta and Pork Sausage Stuffing Muffins
But wait...how adorbs are these?! Don't these bring you so much satisfaction just looking at them? Picture this: you are setting up your thanksgiving spread, and you have twelve of these little cuties sitting out on a serving tray, ready for someone to just grab and place next to their pile of turkey, ready to be smothered in gravy and eaten all together in one glorious bite. I love thinking of ...
Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes
Let's see...hooowwww do I put this so that I'm not verbally assaulting you BUT also properly indicating how important it is that these are a part of your life asap...? Let me just put it this way: if these aren't on your Thanksgiving spread this year, why even celebrate the holiday? I mean...sure, it's good to be thankful for what we have and spend time with family and friends, I knnoowww - sure, ...
The Easiest Roasted Butternut Squash
This really is the easiest thing ever. I discovered its simplicity when I was roasting up my squash for this Butternut Mac and Cheese. I was going for the easiest and tiniest amount of prep possible since it was part of another recipe, but it ended up being SUUPPPAAA BOSS. I was close to just stopping and making it its own recipe right then and there, but I decided to wait and finish up the Mac ...
Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese
Mac and cheese that has zero butter and flour but instead is loaded with a bunch of pureed butternut squash...GET YOU SOME. You guys...so many good things to say about this recipe. This takes a regular mac and cheese and adds such an awesome element of earthiness with a smooth, velvety texture from that butternut squash. The way you make this is similar to how you would make a regular mac and ...
Skinny Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse
It's the first pumpkin recipe of the season!!! Ah, fall food makes me so happy. Pumpkin, caramel apple, cinnamon, nutmeg - doesn't it all just make you feel warm and fuzzy inside? What is it about fall that makes you feel that way? It's like a feeling of nostalgia, but I don't even remember doing anything particularly special during fall while growing up. Who knows - it's a mystery. But one that I ...
One Pot Three Cheese Mac and Cheese
"Three Cheese Mac and Cheese"...sounds kinda repetitive doesn't it? The thought crossed my mind, but then I asked myself, how could you ever say no to a recipe title that uses the word "cheese" twice? So I left it, because two cheeses in one title = a winning meal. Because cheese is bae. And so is mac and cheese. And so are one pot meals. I know...I need to stop with the one pot pastas. I need ...
