Holiday Butter Cookies
One thing’s for sure, these holiday butter cookies drizzled with white chocolate are far better than the blue-tin cookies you remember from your childhood. Hell, adulthood even. Let’s not front, we all still grab a container of those Royal Dansk butter cookies with the sugar baked into the surface, nestled into little paper cups around…
Cheesy Hasselback Potato Gratin
Carbs are love, and this cheesy hasselback potato gratin is life. Thinly sliced potatoes get vertically layered with shreds of gruyere, white cheddar, parmigiano reggiano, luscious heavy cream and half and half. Fresh herbs infused all through the dish, with tiny little morsels of sweet shallot and golden bits of garlic. As this bakes away…
Best Brownies Ever
Insert heavy sigh. These are the best brownies ever. Fudgy, gooey, chewy, decadent, rich, and so incredibly easy to put together. If you could encapsulate love into a recipe, this is it. This is love. Chocolate is what I crave the most when my sweet tooth kicks in, because chocolate never fails me. These brownies…
Easy Weeknight Skillet Lasagna
You’re going to fall in love with this gorgeously simple easy weeknight skillet lasagna, and I already know it’ll become a family favorite in your household. As much as I love lasagna, sometimes the thought of making one gives me anxiety. Don’t get me wrong, I really do love making the big shebang version, but…
Roasted Tomato Basil Soup with Ricotta Grilled Cheese
At least one half of this entire roasted tomato basil soup with ricotta grilled cheese meal is vegetarian. The soup is totally vegetarian — the sandwich is not. That said, this soup is bomb. It’s so richly flavored, with plenty of heat and the right amount of sweetness. When you tear apart that gooey ricotta…
Mini Leftover Turkey Pot Pies
Mini turkey pot pies made with leftover Thanksgiving turkey? Hell yes. For those of you who have leftover turkey, this is one of my favorite ways to use it up, as well as any other leftover aromatics and veggies. I didn’t have to buy a single thing for this incredibly comforting soul in a bowl,…

I’ve gotta just let you know now, there’s an obscene amount of butter going on here. These brown butter cinnamon rolls are not for the faint of heart. I came up with this recipe in hopes you’d make it part of a special event. Don’t eat these every day. Christmas brunch would be fabulous. Birthday’s,…
Pumpkin Ricotta Buttermilk Pancakes
If you’re looking for something to do with that last tiny bit of pumpkin in your fridge, make these pumpkin ricotta buttermilk pancakes. They’re spiced to perfection, and believe it or not, the ricotta really lightens up the texture. I didn’t want these to be heavy and dense, so that little bit of ricotta plus…
Bourbon Sweet Potato Pumpkin Pie

I’m emotional. This bourbon sweet potato pumpkin pie is so good, I’m legit emotional. It’s been a good year since I’ve made this pie, I’ve been very busy. But I was hellbent on not only making it for Thanksgiving this time around, but also sharing the recipe. For all of you who love sweet potato…
