No one ever accused me of being au courant (that’s French for up to date.) In fact, I’m what the French call “les incompetents.” Ummm yeah, I’m pretty sure I was even post dates when I was born. So you can understand why […]

Cinnamon Streusel Pumpkin Seeds And Homemade Pumpkin Puree
I’m not normally a huge fan of pumpkin seeds. I compare the experience to chewing bird seed with the shells still on. What I dislike probably more than pumpkin seeds is waste. I cringe when I have to toss food out. As it’s going into […]

Grilled Rotisserie Turkey
Let’s talk turkey. Not just any run of the mill ordinary oven roasted turkey. Let’s talk grilled rotisserie turkey. Quite possibly the best tasting turkey to ever cross your lips. At least, in my (humble) opinion. If you have a heavy duty rotisserie attachment for […]

Easy Holiday Sausage Apple & Cranberry Dressing
The Stuffing v. Dressing debate. It’s been around for eons. I suppose it depends on the region and family background you come from. When I was a little girl, (in the mid west) my mother called it stuffing, so growing up and when I finally […]
Turkey Cut Out Cookie Tutorial
Phew. I’m exhausted. So I’m keeping this post extremely short. I’ve had a lot of cookie, cake, and cupcake orders to fill this week and I’m not done yet. The new week is upon us along with more orders and Thanksgiving dinner. I want to […]
Festive Holiday Chocolate Peppermint Martini
This festive chocolate peppermint martini will put you in the holiday mood. Chocolate and peppermint come to life with just the right amount of “spirits.” Okay it was me. I said it. Want one? I’m obsessed with peppermint and snowflakes this Christmas. I don’t know, […]
