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’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…

Garlic and Leek Creme Fraiche Mashed Potatoes
My family honestly never put mashed potatoes on our Thanksgiving table, until they tasted mine. Now, it’s become a staple. These incredibly creamy garlic and leek creme fraiche mashed potatoes will hug your soul. They are luscious on the tongue, melt in your mouth, and flavored to the gods.

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. You probably haven’t had sweet potatoes or butternut squash like this. I’ve never been a fan of overly-candied sweet potatoes (or candied yams) because I’ve always found them to be too sweet! I never…

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…

This post is sponsored by Frick’s Meats. All opinions are my own. The aroma that permeates your soul as this honey-dijon glazed ham slowly bakes in your oven is going to feel and smell like the holidays. Our mouths watered for an entire three hours until it was finished. I didn’t just whip up a…
Million Dollar Chicken
I roast a lot of chicken. It’s my favorite way to eat a chicken. But this million dollar chicken? Oh my GAWD! It’s glorious. Succulent, juicy, insanely flavorful, I could go on, and I will. If you make this, you will subject yourself to an extremely couthless eating experience. Finger sucking, moaning, probably cussing and…
