Forget everything you thought you knew about stuffing. This Croissant Sausage Stuffing-- with its ultra-buttery, herbaceous flavors and flaky, fluffy layers-- is changing the Thanksgiving game. CROISSANT SAUSAGE STUFFING I’m a carb fiend by nature, so Thanksgiving, with its glorious mounds of mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, and (most importantly) stuffing is a day straight...
Cranberry-Jalapeno Baked Brie Dip
Cranberry-Jalapeno Baked Brie Dip. Tart cranberries, spicy jalapenos, and brown sugar transform brie cheese into a hit party dip. This recipe for Cranberry-Jalapeno Baked Brie Dip was also featured on Serious Eats. You all have probably picked up by now that I'm a sucker for sweet and spicy recipes, gooey cheese, and easy appetizers. But...
Amaretto-Matcha Christmas Surprise Cake
This delicious pound cake has been sponsored by Aiya America, who inspires my matcha Christmas creations year after year. I used to be firmly in the cookie camp, but this year I've got to say that my new favorite Christmas dessert is actually pound cake. Specifically, a dense, moist, and sweet pound cake that's drizzled...
Crispy Cranberry-Herb Butter Butterflied Turkey with Roasted Vegetables
See all of those glorious blackened bits? I bet you can't make this turkey and not pick off some of those morsels to eat them before serving. Go on and try-- call it an impossible exercise in self-restraint. Just like with any "blackened" recipe, the charred bits on this Crispy Cranberry-Herb Butter Butterflied Turkey with Roasted Vegetables are the...
Honey Crisp Apple Salad with Cider Vinaigrette
Did you have a fun weekend? Yeah, I'm really asking-- you can tell me all about it in a comment or message me on facebook or get at me on twitter, which I am making a goal to actually use. Or we can just have a faux-convo and fake bond, whatever works for you. We've got to...
Nut-Crusted Fried Brie Bites
I don't know about you, but I feel like there is not nearly enough cheese in the traditional Thanksgiving spread. Â Cheese, in all of its variations, definitely makes my "Grateful For:" list every year. As a result, I put cheese in my mashed potatoes, cheese in my dessert, and used warm, buttery, melted cheese as...
Raspberry Cranberry Sauce
I am no stranger to the canned cranberry enthusiasts-- I have several in my own family. (Gasp!)  They like their "sauce" to be, well, not at all saucy, with thick ridges in the sides that keep their mold long after they've thwapped from their aluminum homes onto a serving dish.  While I'm not particularly a fan...
Easy Cranberry Chipotle Cocktail Meatballs
I've got to be honest here, I didn't come up with this idea entirely.  The recipe is tweaked from another recipe that I'm seeing everywhere lately-- one that is pretty good on its own but doesn't reach the its full potential, in my opinion.  I would absolutely link to the original source if I had any...
Cranberry White Wine Punch
I am a heavy proponent of two things at family gatherings: 1) Serving yourself, because the potatoes won't seem to cook, there are kids running around everywhere, Aunt Terry is discussing conspiracy theories, the potatoes still aren't done, you can't remember your third cousin's name and you don't know how much longer you can...
Tiffany Blue Cosmopolitan
It's been a little while since I concocted the Tiffany Blue Cosmopolitan (as in somewhere between 6 and 8 months), but it somehow got buried behind a million other little things in my mind and never made it to the blog. Luckily, I was scrolling through old pictures on the computer to delete some of...
