With Thanksgiving only a week away now is the time to start planning your menu (if you haven’t already). If you’re hosting you’ve probably already ordered your turkey and are in the process of figuring out what to serve with it. There are the standards: potatoes, cranberries, gravy and green beans… but then there are… Continue reading Denver Potato Gratin

Food and Cocktail Advent Calendars
Can you believe that Thanksgiving is next week?! Where did the time go? Last year the days seemed to drag on and on, but this year the days are going by super quick. I mean, I feel like the kids just went back to school! So, since things are moving at lightning speed, and there… Continue reading Food and Cocktail Advent Calendars
Star Cocktail
November wouldn’t be November without at least one apple cocktail. While apples have been in season for over a month, this is the month when pumpkin recipes step aside and apple takes its place. Everywhere you look are apple recipes ranging from pies to pork chops. Apples go so well with so many different things,… Continue reading Star Cocktail
Cinnamon Chicken with Pumpkin-Sage Grits
We’re right in the middle of pumpkin season. From September through Thanksgiving the internet is full of recipes for pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie, pumpkin spiced lattes and even pumpkin sides. It’s not my favorite time of year because while I love Halloween and Thanksgiving, pumpkin isn’t my favorite flavor. I know, blasphemy right?! I just… Continue reading Cinnamon Chicken with Pumpkin-Sage Grits
Jet Pilot
Remember back in May when I did a Test Pilot for Memorial Day? Well, I promised to do the Jet Pilot for Veteran’s Day, and Veteran’s Day is Thursday. So, here it is… as promised, the Jet Pilot to honor all those who have and currently serve in our armed forces. Like the Test Pilot,… Continue reading Jet Pilot
Bloody Mule
Sunday is Halloween, so I wanted to get one more creepy cocktail in before the month ended. Halloween drinks are big this time of year. I mean, Halloween is a great time to party (especially after last year), the drinks come in a variety of liquors and in every color under the full moon from… Continue reading Bloody Mule
Halloween Hummus
Do you know what you’re going to be for Halloween this year? I have no idea. I’ll probably just pull out one of my many vintage dresses and do myself up 40’s style. I know that’s not really a costume since I dress like that all the time, but it’s all I’ve got, so… But… Continue reading Halloween Hummus
Little Devil Cocktail
I wait for October all year, then as soon as the calendar hits October 1st, the decorations are out! I know some people start decorating for Halloween in the middle of September, but that never felt right to me. Kind of like Christmas decorations in October. Christmas decorations should never be seen before at least… Continue reading Little Devil Cocktail
Orange Marmalade Pork
As the temperature starts to dip, I’ve been making heartier meals for dinner. Not only do I want to be warm on the outside, I want to be warm on the inside, too. These are the nights I want something warm and cozy in my belly. You know, comfort food. While mac & cheese or… Continue reading Orange Marmalade Pork
Devil’s Cocktail
It’s October and while that means there’s a chill in the air and the trees have started to shed their leaves, it also means that Halloween is right around the corner. This is the time of year when you start seeing green and orange cocktails or drinks that are smoking thanks to a little dry… Continue reading Devil’s Cocktail
Slow Cooker Short Rib & Carrot Ragu
My weeks are pretty busy. Between the boys being back in school and trucking them back and forth to sports and robotics, my week days have gone from empty to overflowing. While I’m thrilled things are finally getting back to normal, trying to find time to make a nice dinner has disappeared. Most nights it’s… Continue reading Slow Cooker Short Rib & Carrot Ragu
