SIDES This is a yummy side or main dish. I served this with grilled chicken (Thanks Hubs!) & jalapeño naan that I got from our local grocery store. Gotta say…this was both healthy & delish! Feeling great already!
Strawberry Rhubard Jam
SIDES After a week in NYC, I’m so happy to be back in my own kitchen! Still tired, so I had groceries delivered. Breakfast is toasted sourdough bread with peanut butter & my HOMEMADE POTEET STRAWBERRY RHUBARB JAM. I make this jam, every year, when Poteet strawberries are in season. Poteet, Texas is the strawberry…
Greens with Shrimp, Avocado, Red Onion & Walnuts
SIDES This was a new addition to our Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone loved it! I used Trader Joe’s Power Greens, sliced red onion, avocado, walnuts, pomegranate arils & fresh shrimp with olive oil & lemon vinaigrette.
Roasted Rainbow Carrots
SIDES My fam loves these Roasted Rainbow Carrots and so do I! So simple to make – just roast your carrots in a 425 degree oven for about 30 minutes or until tender. Drizzle with honey – my favorite is Tree Hive Maple Syrup + Honey – and pomegranate arils & pistachios. These carrots are gorgeous…
Thanksgiving Stuffing
SIDES This STUFFING is life. Of course, you can call it dressing, too. Whatever floats your boat! I got this recipe from a friend’s dad at least 35 years ago. The first time I tried it I was hooked. My kids would actually put a hit out on me if I stopped making this for…
Pumpkin Ricotta Pancakes
BREAKFAST I’m just not ready for Christmas! I still want to smell pumpkin spice & enjoy my fall decor! I love this time of year so much that one year I lost my mind and made over 100 chenille pumpkins! Anyway, I digress. I made these gorgeous pancakes for breakfast & the fam loved ‘em! AND,…
Easy Apple Tarts
DESSERTS My hubs loves anything with apples! YOU will love how simple this EASY APPLE TARTS are to make! I made a couple of tweaks to an Ina Garten recipe I saw on Food Network. All you need is some store bought puff pastry, some apples, butter & any jam you might have in the fridge! My version…
Apple Whiskey Sour
WINE & SPIRITS Shaken, not stirred. Instead of wine Wednesday, how about shaking it up, literally?! This take on a classic cocktail is just right for Thanksgiving. And, since you probably have some apple cider in the fridge, why not imbibe in this loveliness! Cheers!
Fig & Mozarella Di Bufala Salad
SIDES After a weekend of pretty heavy eating, I was in the mood for something light & fresh! I used Trader Joe’s Power Greens (kale, chard & spinach), sliced fresh figs & red onions, walnuts and Bud Creamery mozzarella di bufala that I kind of tore up, by hand. Drizzled it all with some olive oil, lemon…
Organic Pumpkin Flan (or not)
DESSERTS I’m not gonna lie. I’m not strictly organic & I really love butter, so it’s not one of those “healthy” recipes out there. Doesn’t mean I can’t dabble… So, today I present ORGANIC PUMPKIN FLAN. Just could not pass up a can of organic pumpkin purée I saw when was shopping at Whole Foods.…
