So here’s the story with this cozy fall salad… I think I first cobbled this salad together on a random Wednesday when it started drizzling, I was hunkered down in an old sweater, and all I wanted was something fast that still gave me an autumn sort of kick (without dirtying every dish in the…
Listen, Creamed Spinach Has Always Been My Cozy Zone So picture this — middle of winter, my dad shivering at the window declaring it’s ‘colder than a witch’s nose’ outside (he actually used another word, but you know) and the rest of us in the kitchen, basically waiting for something, anything, to warm us up….
Let’s Talk About Why I Obsess Over These Rolls If you would’ve told me years ago that Parker House rolls—those pillowy, golden bundles—would become the star of my Thanksgiving spread, I probably would’ve raised an eyebrow and kept mashing my potatoes. But here we are. There’s just something nostalgic about them; I remember the first…
Let’s Talk About This Stuffing (And My Slight Obsession with It) So—real talk—I have a theory that stuffing is the true star of any feast. Turkey, ham, whatever… fine, but the stuffing? That’s what people actually fight over in my family. I remember one Thanksgiving a few years back when my cousin (not naming names,…
There’s Just Something About Thanksgiving Prime Rib Okay, true confession—I used to think turkey was the only way to go for Thanksgiving, like some sort of unspoken rule handed down from Aunt Linda. But three years ago, my oven had a meltdown halfway through roasting the bird (no, really—it was like a bad sitcom episode)….
C’mon In – It’s Ham Time, Friend! If you’ve ever come to my house around Thanksgiving (or honestly, any excuse for a cozy dinner), you’ve probably gotten a big ol’ slice of this maple glazed ham shoved into your hand before you even settle in. It’s the kind of thing I started making after a…
So, Here’s the Story With My Holiday Turkey Okay, so you know that feeling when you’ve been nominated (volunteered as tribute, really) to bring the turkey to Thanksgiving or Christmas? Yeah, that’s me—except that one time Aunt May brought her ‘experimental’ brined turkey and, well, let’s just say some of us are scarred. After a…
Let’s Talk About Cozy: Why I Bake These Cinnamon Rolls Every Fall If I had a dollar for every pumpkin spice thing I made in October, well, I’d have at least enough for a medium latte. But honestly, these pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls aren’t just some Pinterest-fueled whim; I’ve been making them ever since my…
Have You Ever Tried Eating Your Bowl? (No, Seriously!) Okay, I know what you’re thinking… chili in pumpkins? But let me tell ya, the first time I served these at my cozy, slightly-chaotic Halloween dinner, my brother nearly lost his mind laughing—and then he ate three. If you’ve never turned your dinner bowl into part…
So Here’s the Story with These French Dip Biscuits… I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for the kind of snacks that basically invite you to get your fingers messy. You know the type? Slouchy sweater, rainy afternoon, odd mug of tea getting cold somewhere nearby — that’s when I started tinkering with…
