Turkey Day has come and gone and if you’re anything like me, you have a fridge full of leftovers.
I always enjoy a good leftover turkey sandwich, but this year I wanted to make something a little fun and different to feed our hungry crowd.
A word of warning: if you are one of those people who doesn’t like any of their food touching each other (there’s one in every family!) then please ignore this post and go back to eating your leftover... Read More ›

We have all been there most likely at one point in our lifetime…the kid's table at holiday time.
Some kids loved it. Some kids hate it as they feel they are not being included. Why not make all the kids (and some of the adults) want to be at the kiddie table by serving them this extra special and pretty darn cute Peanut Butter Turkey Sundae. Not only festive, but yummy as well.
You could even have the kids decorate them, if you wanted to ke... Read More ›

If you're at all like me, there's one reason to look forward to fall that far outstrips all the rest: the fact that zucchini season is over.
Funnily enough, all my neighbors who previously had an overabundance of zucchini never seem to have any pumpkin to spare. I'm almost certain the pumpkins are all being used for delights like this Pumpkin Caramel Cheesecake Recipe. But don't worry, canned pumpkin works beautifully.

Like, you could probably stick an old, burly bearded man riding a donkey in a ramekin and really feel the need to give him a pacifier and rock him to sleep.
I SAID PROBABLY.
So this is what I'm telling you: the goal this year at the Thanksgiving dinner table is to get at LEAST FIVE, "Awww, look you guys. The... Read More ›
As a food lover, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.

Of course, it wasn't always that simple. For ten years I was a vegetarian, and Thanksgiving became a bone of contention among my well-meaning but traditional meat-and-potatoes fa... Read More ›
