The holiday season is upon us and that means planning holiday menus has begun. I love mixing in traditional Louisiana dishes into my menus during the holidays since my husband is from the state. Louisiana meat pies are a traditional dish that frequently show up to holiday tables and for good reason. I partnered with my friends at Tony Chachere’s to create these Louisiana meat pies with sage gravy so that you can bring the taste of Louisiana to your table this holiday season.

One of my favorite gift ideas to give during the holiday season is homemade goodies. There are so many options of sweet treats to make, but buckeyes are a classic homemade sweet treat that my mom has made during the holidays for as long as I can remember. I added my own twist on this recipe by adding a little flaky salt on top to balance out the richness of the buckeyes to make them even more irresistible. This recipe for salted buckeyes is one that you are going to want to make every single year.

This post is sponsored by Tony Chachere’s, but all opinions are 100% my own.

Cornish hens or “game hens” are a small poultry bird that are great for entertaining and can be cooked up easily while looking a bit fancy at the same time. I partnered with my friends at Tony Chachere’s to create a delicious holiday meal that will impress your guests with no stress in the kitchen on you part. I like to serve them up on a festive rice stuffing that is full of flavor and the perfect pairing with the cornish hens. This recipe for roasted Cornish Hens with Festive Rice Stuffing is sure to become a new holiday favorite.

One side dish that always has to make an appearance at the table is classic corn pudding. If you have never tried this delicious and easy side, it’s a must for any holiday table. This recipe for easy corn pudding is going to quickly become one of your family’s most requested dishes every year.
