Homemade Spiced Cranberry Sauce
I love cranberry sauce with my turkey (like this smoked turkey), but I am not a fan of the can. This Homemade Spiced Cranberry Sauce is SO MUCH better than the can, and so easy!! Let’s talk about the Spiced Cranberry Sauce Are you a fan of cranberry sauce? I feel like you either are or your not. There doesn’t seem to be too many people out there that are in the middle of the cranberry debate. Well, I was not a fan either until I started making my own cranberry sauce from FRESH cranberries…thats right there are no cans in this recipe. It is all about the FRESH Berries Growing…

Smoked Turkey
Turkey Day (aka Thanksgiving) will be here before we know it (like in 2 weeks ) and it is time we talk smoked turkey! let’s talk SMOKED TURKEY I know most of us will roast or fry our Thanksgiving turkeys but this Smoked Turkey is the only way my family does it now. My brother and his Father-in-Law have perfected this recipe and it is just amazing!! To be safe you want to have between 3/4 – 1 pound per person (or more for leftovers). Also make sure you give it enough time to thaw, We thaw our turkey in an ice water bath in a cooler (still in the…

Bacon Green Bean Casserole
Over the years I have come to the conclusion that you are either a fan of green bean casserole or you are not…it’s really that simple. I have always landed on the not a fan side of this debate but my brother, James, is a HUGE fan and asks for it every holiday…but this year it was time to take it to the next level. Green Bean Casserole like no other Most of the time my sis-in-laws mom will make it for him, but this time I decided to take on his request but to make it in a way that I (and the other non-lovers) would love as well.…

Jalapeno Cranberry Sauce
Are cranberries your thing? I feel like you either are or you are not. Well this girl… BIG fan. A few of my favorite recipes are these Cranberry Bran Muffins & Cranberry Bars. I have to say though, this Jalapeño Cranberry Sauce is definately in my top 3 now. Cranberry Love! There is just something about these tart little berries that I cannot get enough of. I love them in desserts, as a garnish, in drinks and definately as a side. They are so easy to use and so festive. In this sauce the cranberries are truly the star but withe a little kick. The jalapeño and spices bring…

Gluten Free Thanksgiving Dressing
Thanksgiving is just around the corner… like literally AROUND the corner and I have the BEST dressing recipe ever (& it is gluten-free)! Yep I said… THE BEST! It is all about the gluten free bread… In my opinion what makes this dressing the best is the bread! Surprise, surprise it is made with gluten free bread! I know I was shocked as well. The gluten free bread is naturally already drier in consistency and once you toast it to a golden brown it truly does become the perfect bread to carry all the dressing seasonings without getting too mushy. So how did this dressing happen you ask? Well, last…

Pumpkin Butter
OK… I have a sad story about pumpkin butter. As I am sure you know by now I am a BIG, BIG pumpkin fan. One of my most favorite pumpkin treats is pumpkin butter, but when I went to buy some the other day at Trader Joes they were out! There was none to be found… NONE!! MY Pumpkin Butter Obsession So it all started back 10+ years a go when I was aimlessly wondering through Williams Sonoma one October day. This very sweet lady came up to me and asked if I would like to try some pumpkin butter. I mean she had me at the word pumpkin but…

Pumpkin Espresso Bundt
Pumpkin + Espresso makes me a happy girl. And yes, I know it is only September but in my world it is pumpkin time. I mean honestly it is pumpkin time all the time to me but I can at least now post it and it seem somewhat “normal”. Pumpkin, please I love pumpkin anything and everything, and I can eat pumpkin anytime, especially this bundt cake. The pumpkin makes the bundt cake super moist without making it heavy and then with the addition of the pumpkin pie spice gives it just the right amount of warmth in each bite. If you didn’t want to use the pumpkin pie spice you…
