Sausage Dressing is hands down our families favorite dressing. How do I know?? After 4 dressings, a blind taste test and an overwhelming vote… the winner has been named!! Changing a Texas Girl’s World Being a good Texas girl I grew up eating cornbread dressing every Thanksgiving. The very traditional version of cornbread with onions, celery, and cornbread. My mom would bake the cornbread days in advance and prep anything she could to make her cornbread dressing. This Texas girls life was changed though a couple of years ago, I was introduced to bread and sausage dressing and it changed my life. It was full of flavor, the bread…

Instant Pot Lemon Risotto
Instant Pot for the Win! I am all about my Instant Pot. I use it for mac-n-cheese, chicken, mashed potatoes, cheesecake and now this Lemon Risotto. Risotto is one of my favorite sides but it can be a real pain to make. A few weeks a go I was over at a friends home and her daughter was talking about making her famous Lemon Risotto and I just couldn’t stop thinking about it. The thing was though is I didn’t want to stand over a stove stirring for 30-45 minutes so I decided to take a chance and see what the IP could do… and I was NOT…

Air Fryer Veggies
I am obsessed with my Air Fryer. I know I am kinda late to the game but I am 100% on board now and love trying new recipes … but one of my go to ones I make every week are these Air Fryer Veggies. Let’s talk veggies… One of my favorite parts of going to the grocery store is walking through the produce area and finding what veggies I am going to cook for the week. Almost every Sunday I roast, or now air fry, a large batch of veggies and use them in salads all week long or as quick fix sides for dinner. This last week as…

Roasted Herb Carrots
Carrots are not just for the Easter bunny… we can eat them too! Fancy them up a bit… Carrots are a staple. The little ones are perfect for quick snacks and lunch boxes. You can roast them up super quick for weeknight sides. Throw them into salads, stir fry or in desserts, like these Carrot Cake Cupcakes. For the Holidays though we like to maybe give them a little extra love and fancy them up a bit with some Herbs de Provence and maybe some extra butter… I mean it is the holidays after all. If you do not have Herbs de Provence on hand you can use any…

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…

Honey Balsamic Sprouts – a perfect side
Balsamic + Honey + Sprouts have NEVER been better… and trust me I KNOW! Surprisingly Simple Sprouts It is no surprise that I am a big fan of brussels sprouts, but these sprouts in particular are a favorite. Even better, they are really simple to make. First you start with simply roasting them with a little olive oil and seasoning. Then as soon as they are cooked you drizzle them with a balsamic reduction and honey… and voila, they are DONE! I told you super simple. A little honey sweet… just a little I know sometimes when you use honey as a drizzle it can be over powering, but not…

One of my favorite recipes for sweet potatoes are these Garlic Parmesan Sweet Potatoes. They are not only delicious but also super easy. Roasted and So Good! If I am not eating a whole sweet potato or mashed ones, I roast them. I roast them for several reasons. First, I love how it intensifies the flavor of…
