Sautéed Black Eyed Peas

Sautéed Black Eyed Peas

Who else needs a dose of black eyed peas on New Years? Our family has always had black eyes on the stove ready for a spoonful or a bowl for good luck. We’ve done this for a couple of generations. This sautéed version is so tasty and delicious. Everyone is going to want a big helping of this yummy dish.

Giant Chocolate Chess Pie

Giant Chocolate Chess Pie

If you love chocolate this is your pie! Decadently delicious and you won’t be able to stop at one slice. I must warn you, this thing is large, as it is made in a 9 inch pie plate. You can also make mini pies and all you have to do is adjust the baking time.

Gourmet Green Bean Casserole

Gourmet Green Bean Casserole

This scratch made casserole puts traditional green bean casserole to shame! The cream of mushroom soup is made with crimini & shiitake mushrooms. You still use store bought fried onions, because why not. The effort of preparing fresh green beans and the soup is worth it. The addition of nutty gruyere cheese makes this a showstopper.

Apple Pumpkin Streusel Pie

Apple Pumpkin Streusel Pie

If you’re a fan of apples and pumpkin this is your pie! I used pecans in the streusel and pre-made pie crust. It’s perfect for all your fall celebrations! I also solved the problem of the soggy bottom you often get with an apple pie. A little 10-minute pre-bake did the trick.

Thanksgiving Turkey and Gravy

Thanksgiving Turkey and Gravy

This is the best roast turkey recipe you will ever make! The gravy is next level. This has been my go-to recipe for over 25 years. It is indescribably delicious and to top it off it’s fool proof.

You can make this recipe with a whole turkey or turkey breast on the bone.  I have brined them and not brined them – Did not notice a difference. They always come out juicy & tender. I generally prepare the turkey & the pan (without spray) the night before. That way I can get the turkey going without that much hassle on Thanksgiving day. We also enjoy this turkey on other occasions. It’s just that good!

Roasted Turkey Gravy
This gravy is made with brandy, white wine and the juices from the roast turkey.
