It is hard to believe that we are a few weeks away from Christmas and baking season is officially upon us! For me it’s the most magical time of the year and I hate that this season seems to already be passing so quickly. Anyone else want December to last just a little bit longer? Every holiday season, my baking bug returns almost instantly as the tree gets decorated and the house feels extra cozy. While I love baking the traditional recipes, I am all about finding recipes that are slightly better for me that I can bring to all of the holiday festivities that come about this time of year. Gingerbread is one of those quintessential holiday flavors that is my go-to whenever I decide to bake. It smells the house up with warming spices that just say merry Christmas. My healthier gingerbread blondies are chewy and delicious and your family and friends will love them this holiday season!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. The time where friends and family come together around a table and share a special meal that is prepared with love. We get to reflect on the past year and all that we are thankful for. It’s the time where I am always reminded how quickly each year passes and how I want to soak up more moments spent with those I love the most, which is why I wanted our last Supper Club of the year to be a special Friendsgiving. This week will be all about sharing what we are thankful for, yummy food of course, and I will also be helping to get you prepared for your own Thanksgiving and Friendsgiving celebrations. I partnered with Village Farms to bring you two must make recipes this holiday season. My Autumn Panzanella Salad with a Citrus Sage Vinaigrette and my Tomato Cobbler with Cheddar Thyme Drop Biscuits are going to wow your guests and add a little something special to your holiday table.
Thanksgiving is next week and I’ve got one last turkey recipe that you just might want to try. After all, what kind of wife of a Cajun man would I be if I didn’t even have a Cajun turkey recipe to share with y’all? I am not sure why it has taken me all of these years to share this recipe, but the important thing to focus on is that I am finally sharing it! If you have never tried a Cajun turkey before, you are in for a treat. This turkey is spicy, almost impossible to dry out, and is right up your alley if you are looking for something different to serve up at your table this year! My easy Cajun roasted turkey is going to not only be a show stopper, but you will also be amazed at how easy it is to roast up!
Celebrate Thanksgiving this year with three brand new recipes that are sure to wow your friends and family including a turkey that is a major show stopper. I created a simple, but flavorful and special turkey that is easy enough for any at home cook, no matter the skill level. No fancy equipment needed, just a few really flavorful ingredients that transform a turkey into a gorgeous centerpiece for any Thanksgiving table! Lucky for you I included a few of my favorite side dishes to make your menu complete! My Rosemary Pomegranate Maple Glazed Turkey is easy to make and is topped with a rosemary infused pomegranate glaze that takes this roasted turkey to a whole new level.

Pears are the underestimated fall fruit in my opinion. I feel like all I hear about are apples and pumpkin at this time of year, but I am here to change that mindset friends because pears are glorious right now and I can’t get enough! Sure they are delicious on their own as a snack, but when you use them to make delicious fall baked goods…well now you are onto something special! This is the time of year when I get the baking bug and I find myself wanting to bake all the cozy goods and have my house smelling of warm and inviting spices from now until Christmas. That’s why I partnered with Tony Chachere’s to bring you the coziest Thanksgiving dessert that you are going to want add to your holiday menu. My Spiced Pear Skillet Cake is not only super easy to make thanks to Tony Chachere’s Creole Hush Puppy Mix, but it’s also beautiful and full of flavor too!
Sweet potato casserole is one of those classic Thanksgiving sides that everyone has come to expect around the table. Traditionally it is made sweet to a point that it could almost pass as dessert. If this is your kind of sweet potato casserole, I’ve got you covered. However, if this is not your cup of tea, because you aren’t down with a side dish that could pass as a dessert, I also have you covered. I created a savory twist on the classic sweet potato casserole and I can tell you that you are going to love serving this dish up alongside that gorgeous turkey. My savory chipotle sweet potato casserole with a sourdough sage pecan bread crumb topping is sure to have your friends and family delighted this holiday season.
