Double Cranberry Sauce

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

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

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

Pumpkin Maple Trifle

Every year my family tries to come up with something new and exciting for Thanksgiving. I mean, how many times can you have the same pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce? Okay, I know there are traditions and family recipes that are used year in and year out. But we don’t do that in my family.… Continue reading Pumpkin Maple Trifle

Lemon & Herb Roasted Turkey Breast

Every year I’m in one of two places for Thanksgiving. I’m either here in Redondo Beach hosting the holiday, or I’m up in Marin helping my mother while she hosts. Either way, one thing always remains the same: we order a big turkey.  I don’t mean some littler Butterball I pick up at the grocery… Continue reading Lemon & Herb Roasted Turkey Breast

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, 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 Fig Tart

Now that we’re into November, it’s time to switch things up. It’s time to put away the Halloween candy and spooky decor and pull out the festive lights and holiday cheer. 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

Cornbread Apple Stuffing

As with most families, the holidays mean a lot of travel and a lot food. It’s no different for me. Every year we spend Thanksgiving up in Northern California and then for Christmas we’re always here in So. Cal. I love Thanksgiving and all the delicious food that comes with it. There is one downside… Continue reading Cornbread Apple Stuffing
