I have no idea where this particular recipe comes from, or how long my family has been making it. But I do know that of all the recipes I’ve ever had, this one has always stood out as my favorite. My mom makes it every single year for me for both Thanksgiving and Christmas and […]
A couple years ago, my mother and I put together a cookbook that was sold to help raise money to pay for my son’s expenses related to his medical problems (he’s had 15 surgeries and all have to be done halfway cross the country). One of the recipes submitted by a long time family friend […]
Green bean casserole is one of those classic Thanksgiving/holiday casseroles you see on most tables, but you won’t see that on ours. We always opt for this casserole instead because it is full of flavor and so easy! Actually, to be completely honest, in our family we call this “Death Casserole”. It sounds like a […]
Oh my gaaaahhh! Every single time that I make this dessert (which is usually only at Thanksgiving and Christmas) I am reminded of how absolutely wonderful it is. Words truly can’t describe it…one must just try this to believe me! My dad is probably the biggest bread pudding fan I’ve ever met before, and I’ve made […]
A few days ago I posted on my Facebook asking which recipes my friends would most like to see recipes for with the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. The most asked for item was homemade dressing/stuffing. Well, I don’t have a stuffing recipe because that’s just something we’ve never made in my family to date. At least […]
What’s more Thanksgivingy (that’s a word, right?) than Pumpkin Pie? Not much that I can think of. Although when I think back to Thanksgiving when I was growing up I don’t remember ever having it. Then again, that was always the time of year when our family took our yearly vacation. When I was small […]
In honor of my sweet Momma who had surgery today, I’m posting one of her all time BEST recipes, at least in my opinion. This bread is absolutely delicious and the recipe originally came from my great great Aunt JuJu, so no telling how old it is. This bread always reminds me that the holidays […]
I have never had the honor of preparing the entire Thanksgiving meal myself (turkey, dressing, etc.) but I do have one particular honor every year in my family, and that is bringing the homemade macaroni and cheese. I remember the first time I made it and my niece made a comment about how she didn’t […]
I hope that you all have a wonderful time this weekend being out and about with all the ghosts and goblins! I’ll be with two princesses and a magician myself, and they are pretty darn cute! This past week we have made many yummy Halloween goodies including cupcakes and shaped, decorated sugar cookies. We are […]
Whenever I make a dessert to take somewhere, I try to make it somewhat appropriate to the season. This dessert was always a traditional dish to be served at our office Christmas parties back in the day when I was still working, before my stay-at-home-mom days. I kind of forgot about this dessert after leaving […]
