Instant Pot Creamed Corn Recipe
I don’t know about you, but I can use all the help I can get cooking around the holidays. If you’re making a lot of the traditional dishes from scratch, every burner on your stove will be in use and you have a timetable for what goes in the oven when. Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, […]

To me, fall doesn’t start until I’ve made my first batch of this pumpkin soup recipe. Keep your PSL and give me a bowl of this soup any day of the week. You can use canned pumpkin for this or make your own pumpkin puree. Either way you end up with a delicious pot of […]

I love a glass of eggnog (or two) around the Holidays. It’s such a fun, festive and delicious drink. Yes, you can buy a carton at the store and just add a little bourbon to it, but there is just no comparison to the homemade stuff. Making your own eggnog is surprisingly easy. The most […]

Continue readingTurkey Dressing Pie
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I thought I’d share my favorite dish to make with the leftovers. We traditionally have this either Friday or Saturday after Thanksgiving, but if you’re tired of eating the same food, you can freeze the dressing, and cooked turkey and make later. Don’t try freezing the gravy though… it […]

Continue readingEasy Homemade Fudge
We love fudge around here. In the summer we head down to a local gift shop to sample some of their fudge, but around Christmas time, we like to get out our pots and pans and make up big batches of homemade fudge to eat and share. The recipe blow makes a big 5 pound […]

Thanksgiving is over and we’re all starting to get a little tired of eating leftovers. It’s time to get creative and recombine ingredients to come up with something different and new. This year I started experimenting with stuffing cakes. Think of them as crab cakes with a Thanksgiving twist. Of course we’re keeping it frugal […]

One of the best things about fall is all the yummy pumpkin spice recipes. I shared my favorite pumpkin spice mix with you a few days ago and today would like to share a recipe that uses it. This makes a fantastic loaf of pumpkin bread. I love the added flavor and texture from the […]
