My Thanksgiving Menu

Thanksgiving is right around the corner! It’s one of my favorite holidays because I love to be in the kitchen with family cooking and then enjoying all our efforts around the table! I spend a lot of time looking at recipe ideas each year and always try a couple new ideas along with our family…

Pumpkin Pecan Danish Twist

This beautiful Danish is a lot easier to make that you think! I know working with yeast can be intimidating and twisting dough into a beautiful, twisted swirl looks very technically difficult, but I promise it’s not. If you can twist two strands together, you can make this Danish! This recipe is based off of…

Homemade Rosemary Bread

Making homemade bread sounds intimidating. How do you use yeast and how long does it take for dough to rise and what makes the bread soft on the inside? How do you knead it and what makes the crust crusty and how much flour do you need and should it be bread flour? I could…

Top Recipes of 2018

Happy New Year!! I hope you all had a fun and safe holiday! I had some friends and family over to play games, eat food, and wait for the ball to drop at midnight! We had a great night! As the year is ending, I thought it would be fun to look back at the…

5 Ways to Use Leftover Cranberry Sauce

I know there’s lots of recipes being shared this week about how to use up your leftover turkey. There are even some ideas of how to use up your leftover side dishes. But I wanted to give you some ideas of how to use up your leftover Cranberry Sauce (or jelly). Cranberry Sauce often gets…

Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars (Recipe Review)

These Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars are incredible! The perfect recipe for my first ever recipe review! When I saw this recipe a couple weeks ago on Mel’s Kitchen Cafe blog, I knew that I had to make it. I had a Friendsgiving event coming up with my high school friends and I was already committed…

Mini Mason Jar Apple Pies

When I was a kid, I didn’t like apple pie. Actually I didn’t really like fruit pies at all. I’m not sure when this changed, but I’m definitely on the pie bandwagon now and glad to be here! Over the last few years, I’ve been honing my pie making skills and now have a few…

Broccoli Cheese Casserole

I’m sure a lot of people wonder how a turkey made by a vegetarian tastes. I can’t personally tell you from experience (I don’t usually taste the turkeys I make), but I’ve been told they taste delicious and moist. I’ve made a few turkeys now and tried different methods (brining, roasting, smothering in herb butter…

Easy Thanksgiving Appetizers

For most people, the turkey is star of the show on Thanksgiving. Being a vegetarian, my plate is always full of the side dishes. Even when I ate meat, I never cared much for the turkey. Sure, I’d eat some because it was Thanksgiving and that’s what you do, but I always preferred the delicious…
