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…

Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Savory Cider Caramel
Let me introduce you to something amazing. Perfectly roasted sweet potatoes with savory cider caramel. There’s butternut squash in there, too.

I never…
Citrus and Herb Dry-Brined Roasted Turkey
Happy Thanksgiving! I wanted to share my recipe for a deliciously juicy, crispy skinned citrus and herb dry brined roasted turkey. The video tutorial is a couple years old, but still relevant. This wonderful bird is served with a delicious maple cognac gravy, which is totally optional. WTF is Spatchcocking Spatchcocking sounds like a dirty word,…
Slow Cooker Chipotle Sloppy Joes
Here’s a promise. These are the best slow cooker chipotle sloppy joes you’ll ever put in your mouth. It’s slow cooker season, so why not start with a childhood comfort food favorite. My fiancé blew my mind when he told me he’d never tried cheese on his sloppy joe. I was like, “Boy, what?!” He…
Ultimate Green Bean Casserole
If you think I’m gonna make a green bean casserole that isn’t bomb AF and worthy of being on my blog, you’ve got me f’d up. For years, I avoided any kind of green bean casserole because it’s notoriously made with canned soup. No shade, but yuck. Then I realized, “Wait a minute…this can be…
Dutch Apple Cheesecake Blondies
You guys. Dutch apple cheesecake blondies. Say it with me. Dutch. Apple. Cheesecake. Blondies. I wasn’t ready. Like, I knew exactly how these were gonna taste before I made them (I can taste things in my mind, swear), but I was NOT ready for the actual bite. Tears rushed to my ducts, but my inner-pretend-thug…
