Leftover Turkey Pot Pie

Thanksgiving is just two days away. And if there’s one thing I love about Turkey Day it’s all the food. There’s turkey, cranberries, sweet potatoes, stuffing and of course dessert. While all those dishes are amazing on Thanksgiving, they’re even better the day after. I love Thanksgiving day leftovers. You could have the same meal… Continue reading Leftover Turkey Pot Pie

Apple Blow Fizz

Next week is Thanksgiving and then we’re really in the thick of the festive, holiday season. At that point it’s all about apples, turkeys, chocolate and lots of lots of cocktails. So, I thought I’d get the ball rolling today with something festive and full of bubbles. But just because it has bubbles doesn’t mean… Continue reading Apple Blow Fizz

Apple, Squash and Brussels Sprout Salad

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is just a week away? I can’t either. I mean, I’ve barely figured out how many people I’m having, let alone what I’m making. So, I decided to sit down earlier this week and figure out my menu. I have the turkey, stuffing, gravy and cranberries. My aunt’s making the… Continue reading Apple, Squash and Brussels Sprout Salad

Apple Cranberry Pie

I mentioned last week how we’ve hit the holiday season, and it’s suddenly all about turkey and stuffing. While I love turkey and stuffing it’s not my favorite thing about the holidays. My favorite thing about the holidays are the desserts. Don’t get me wrong, I love turkey and stuffing, but dessert, dessert is wear… Continue reading Apple Cranberry Pie

Thomas & Jeremiah Cocktail

Everywhere I look these days there are apples. Fujis, Honey Crisps, Pippins, Granny Smiths, Crimson Golds, the list goes on and on. We all have our favorites, mine are Honey Crisps and Crimson Golds. But that’s not what I really love. When apples start showing up at markets, I know fresh apple cider is right… Continue reading Thomas & Jeremiah Cocktail

That’s right it’s time for Thanksgiving prep. If you’re anything like me, you’ve already got your guest list and you’re starting to prep your… Continue reading Apple Fig Tart

Black Russian

When I started drinking, the White Russian was my cocktail of choice. It was easy to make and even easier to imbibe. The combination of vodka, Kahlúa and cream was sweet and creamy deliciousness. It was the coffee liqueur that made me a fan. The vodka was too strong and the milk was, well… just milk.… Continue reading Black Russian

White Wine Braised Chicken Thighs

I was supposed to be in Italy this week. Hubs and I had a whole wonderful food-oriented trip planned. We were going enjoy spritzes on the canals in Venice, learn to butcher meat from Dario Cecchini in Tuscany and eat enough gelato to make us sick. That’s what was supposed to happen. Then my youngest… Continue reading White Wine Braised Chicken Thighs

Blinker Cocktail

A couple weeks ago I talked about a new liquor out there called Infuse. They make vodka and whiskey, and because they’re under the Infuse moniker, both are infused with different flavors. While the vodka is infused with different fruits, the whiskeys are infused with… well whiskey. Or rather whiskey barrels. See, after six months in… Continue reading Blinker Cocktail
