This. Butternut. Squash. Is. NEXT LEVEL, you guys. Butternut squash is usually the star in soups, you don't see it quite as often served on its own as a side. But, man oh man oh man, this caramelized butternut squash is to die for! The sweetness of the veggie itself is deepened by the caramelization, but then we've got pecans, lots of garlic, sage, and thyme thrown in for the last few minutes - ...
Instant Pot Coconut Curry Butternut Squash Soup
So, butternut squash soup. Let's discuss for a minute. It's SUCH a popular fall dish - you literally see recipes for it left and right all season long. I've tried and tried and tried to make it, but I can't ever get super excited about it. It's always just a little "meh." I don't WANT to feel this way because I strive to be obsessed with all things fall (I LOVE FALL), but I just can't seem to ...
Clean Eating Blender Pumpkin Muffins
This is probably the most excited I've been in a while to share a recipe with you guys. This is my second fall season of trying to perfect this pumpkin muffin recipe. I tried it several times last season and couldn't get it just right, so I picked right back up where I left off this year, trying to find the PERFECT clean eating pumpkin muffin. I tried multiple gluten free flour options before ...
Thai Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup
I mean...I know it's June, but can we all be okay with soup anyway? No? What if I tell you that it is loaded with fresh veggies, curry paste, coconut milk, and - wait for it - a few big scoops of cashew butter? Okay good I'm so glad we are on the same page. It's hearty, it's smooth, it's loaded with thai flavor and healthy fats, and it is the MOST delicious, even though it's a hot soup in ...

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 ...

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, ...
