Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with Apples & Sunflower Chokes
We’re a little over a week away from Thanksgiving. So, if you’re anything like me, you’re starting to get your menu together for the big day. Usually that means turkey, stuffing, gravy, some sort of potato dish, a vegetable, cranberry sauce and of course dessert. Last week I made a Quince Cranberry Crumble, so this… Continue reading Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with Apples & Sunflower Chokes
Quince Cranberry Crumble
November means turning the clocks back, red and orange leaves, cool breezes and the occasional rain storm. It also means turkey with all the trimmings, green beans and pumpkin pie. There’s just one problem… I don’t like pumpkin pie. I’m not saying I don’t like pumpkin… I just don’t like it in pie form. I… Continue reading Quince Cranberry Crumble
Artichoke Parmesan Stuffing
To stuff or not to stuff. That is the question. There’s always been this big debate in the Thanksgiving world about whether or not you should stuff your turkey. Several believe that stuffing the turkey means you’re forced to leave the turkey in the oven longer in order to fully cook the bird. When that… Continue reading Artichoke Parmesan Stuffing
Sweet Potato Cranberry Casserole
Cranberry sauce and sweet potatoes are two of the most common sides at Thanksgiving. I love them both, but what if you combine the two? That’s what Taste of Home suggested, and let me tell you, the final product is amazing. I loved it so much, I can’t wait to make it again this year.… Continue reading Sweet Potato Cranberry Casserole
Apple and Fig Custard
I’m a chocolate fan. But every so often I like to change things up and make a fruit dessert. And while chocolate is very popular this time of year, fruit desserts are also quite popular. The most common fruit dessert? Apple. No, I’m not making an apple pie, today I’m making an apple and fig… Continue reading Apple and Fig Custard
Bourbon-Mint Cranberry Sauce
One of my favorite sides at Thanksgiving is the cranberry sauce. I look forward to it every year because every year we do something different. Sure, we’ve done the standard boiled cranberries with sugar, but we’ve also mixed the berries with shallots, and there have been several times my family has chosen to go completely… Continue reading Bourbon-Mint Cranberry Sauce
Apple and Dried Cranberry Clafoutis
It’s that time of year when apples and cranberries are being turned into all sorts of sides and desserts. Sometimes they’re combined, sometimes they’re separate, but they’re always good. One of the most common ways you’ll find these two fruits together, especially during this time of year, is in pies. Pies are the typical choice… Continue reading Apple and Dried Cranberry Clafoutis
Creamed Pearl Onions for #Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving has got to be my favorite holiday of the year. Not just because of all the family and friends that get together to hang out, but also because of all the food. Yes, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, I love food. But it’s not just about the food. Of course the food is always… Continue reading Creamed Pearl Onions for #Thanksgiving
Noodles Louise
It’s been so hot here in Southern California, I haven’t been in the mood to use my oven. As I’m sure you’ve noticed most of my recipes of late have been grilled or cooked in a cast iron skillet on the stove. I’ve been trying my best to avoid the oven if I can because… Continue reading Noodles Louise
Sweet Potato & Pear Casserole with Bourbon, Bacon and Maple Syrup
Sorry I’ve been MIA recently, but I had a family emergency a couple weeks ago and that’s where all my focus has been. But the good news is that things are much better now and the prognosis is very good. All this family upheaval though (yes, a member of my family was in the hospital)… Continue reading Sweet Potato & Pear Casserole with Bourbon, Bacon and Maple Syrup
