Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and by now you should have your menu all planned, and you may have even started making some dishes to prepare for the big feast. There’s the turkey, stuffing and gravy. There’s a potato dish as well as a vegetable, and of course there’s dessert. But there’s another smaller dish that’s just… Continue reading Double Cranberry Sauce

Denver Potato Gratin
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
Cheese and Herb Potato Gratin
I wanted to get one more Thanksgiving recipe up before turkey day tomorrow. And since you probably want something easy, that won’t take too long to make, I’m going with this amazing potato dish from Tara Bench. I discovered Bench and this dish, thanks to Melissa’s Produce. Melissa’s hosted a virtual event with Bench where… Continue reading Cheese and Herb Potato Gratin
Cilantro Lime Rice
Do you know what day it is? I have no idea. I’ve completely lost track of all the days. I seriously have no idea if it’s Monday or Friday because right now each day just bleeds into the next. There’s one thing I haven’t lost track of though, the holidays. I knew when Easter and… Continue reading Cilantro Lime Rice
Zucchini Potato Pancakes
Growing up, there was one thing I could always depend on at Hanukkah: latkes. At least once during the holiday, my mother would get several pounds of potatoes and shred them so that she could make latkes. We always loved latkes. I mean, what’s better than deep fried potatoes in pancake form? Not much, I… Continue reading Zucchini Potato Pancakes
Sauteed Corn and Pancetta
I make dinner every night of the week. I love serving something that’s healthy and delicious to finish off the day. But there’s always one thing with which I have trouble – what to serve with the entreé. While I could throw together a salad or savory bowl of rice, my first choice is usually… Continue reading Sauteed Corn and Pancetta
Mexican Street Corn
Corn is in season right now. I love corn. It doesn’t matter if it’s white, yellow or multi-colored. I’ll eat it straight off the cob or in a pile of kernels on a plate. I love it grilled, sautéed or steamed. Seriously, as long as it’s fresh, I can’t get enough. One of my favorite… Continue reading Mexican Street Corn
Mexican Rice
I love to cook. But there are those nights (usually on the weekends) when the last thing I want to do is turn on the oven. Those are the nights we order in. (Yes, it’s true. Even I like someone else to do the cooking on occasion.) A lot of times we’ll order pizza… you… Continue reading Mexican Rice
Green Beans Two Ways
Thanksgiving may be tomorrow, but there’s still enough time to squeeze one more recipe in. If you’re worried these recipes will take tons of time, let me assuage your fears. Both recipes can be done and on the table in 30 minutes or less and both are delicious! While one is a classic from the… Continue reading Green Beans Two Ways
Grilled Corn & Blueberry Salad
If there’s one thing I love this time of year, it’s grilled corn, especially white corn. I eat it straight off the cob but I also frequently shear off the kernels and turn them into a salad. It’s super easy and a nice way to still have the same great vegetable without getting butter and… Continue reading Grilled Corn & Blueberry Salad
Curried Rice Pilaf
Rice is one of my all time favorite side dishes. It’s super easy to make and with all the different ways to prepare it, you could have rice every night and never have the same side twice. I usually like it steamed with a little rice vinegar mixed in, but every so often, I’ll cook… Continue reading Curried Rice Pilaf
