Um guys...Thanksgiving is two weeks away. What the what? How did this happen because just yesterday it was Halloween. Every year without fail after Halloween rolls around and then the year seems to disappear right in front of my eyes. It is actually kind of sad because this is absolutely my most favorite time of the year. For real, I live for the holiday season! I would already have my tree up if my hubby would allow it, and if we were going to be in town for Thanksgiving to enjoy it! I will tell you that whatever your plans happen to be for Thanksgiving this year, you should put this dry brined brown butter and sage roasted turkey on your list of things to make!
Happy Monday friends! How was your weekend? Our was really good, but it went by so so fast! We did however celebrate the Astros heading to the World Series, which my dad and hubby are headed to today! I am not a huge "watch on tv" sports girl, but I love going to games, so I'm slightly jealous! I think it's partly due to the fact that I use it as an excuse to eat hot dogs and nachos and justify that it is a mandatory thing when one is at any type of sporting event! I will say though, on the opposite end of the spectrum, that anytime Canean is out of town, I love getting to fix girly meals that he wouldn't be thrilled about! I tend to eat way lighter than when he is home for this reason! Recipes like my brussel sprout, apple, and fennel salad with toasted walnuts and parmesan is one that I usually serve as a side, but tonight it's going to be the main meal for me!
Happy almost 4th of July guys! We just got back from the beach yesterday and I am super excited that this week is a holiday week to help me ease back into the swing of things. I am trying to get my mind out of vacation mode and back into working mode after a week relaxation! And while I am trying to get back into the grind around here, one thing is for sure I will be lighting up the grill for the 4th and one of my favorite recipes is definitely going to happen! My easy pork rib marinade is the perfect recipe for fail-proof delicious ribs that would be perfect for your BBQ tomorrow!
Christmas is in eleven days...are you ready? Do you have everyone on your list crossed off? If you are anything like me, I am willing to bet that you still have a few more people to buy for. I am a huge fan of online shopping because I don't have to brave the stores with all the other last minute shoppers and because I can shop in my PJ's and nobody cares. One of my favorite sites to score unique goodies lately is at UncommonGoods.
It's Thursday and everyone is at your house hovering around you waiting for the meal to be ready. You are starting to sweat, no doubt from the oven being on since 4am and now because people are breathing down your neck. Sound familiar? Well I have the solution this year, you are going to make my curry pumpkin hummus and serve it up as the perfect appetizer to fill everyone's belly just enough to buy you a few extra minutes of cook time!
Happy Monday guys! We are officially ten days away from Thanksgiving and I am pretty darn excited about it! Everyone has a favorite dish that makes or breaks a good Thanksgiving meal, and for me that dish is stuffing...or dressing...or whatever you call it. My homemade sausage stuffing is honestly my favorite part of the entire Thanksgiving meal. It's the texture, it's the flavor combinations, it's that combined with a bite of turkey it is just the perfect Thanksgiving bite wrapped into one! To me, if there is one dish to make to go alongside your turkey this year, it's gotta be my homemade sausage stuffing!
