Smoked Standing Rib Roast

Smoked Standing Rib Roast

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

A standing prime rib roast is always the star of any holiday table. It’s a classic Christmas dinner main dish and if cooked correctly, is always so delicious. I partnered with Tony Chachere’s to share with you this smoked standing rib roast that is smoked low and slow and finished on high heat to create an amazing crust on the outside of the roast with a perfectly tender, juicy, and flavorful inside. This smoked standing rib roast is absolutely mouthwatering delicious and you are going to love adding it to your holiday menu.

Cajun Jambalaya Stuffed Roasted Turkey

Cajun Jambalaya Stuffed Roasted Turkey

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

This Cajun Jambalaya Stuffed Roasted Turkey is not your average turkey. This Cajun Turkey is loaded with flavor between the butter injections straight into the meat, a delicious Cajun compound butter that gets rubbed all over the turkey, and a delicious jambalaya stuffing that goes into the cavity of the turkey. It’s a triple flavor bomb that I created in partnership with my good friends at Tony Chachere’s and this is one recipe you don’t want to skip this holiday season.

Cajun Corn Casserole

Cajun Corn Casserole

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

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I don’t know about you, but I am all about the side dishes when it comes to the Thanksgiving dinner menu. I mean sure, the turkey is great and all, but bring on the sides please! One dish that our family always has at the table is a corn casserole and everyone always goes crazy for it. For this Thanksgiving, I partnered with Tony Chachere’s to bring you a twist on that same classic corn casserole that takes it to a whole new level. I love a Cajun kick for just about any recipe and this recipe for Cajun corn casserole is surely going to become a new family favorite for your Thanksgiving menu year after year.

Savory Chipotle Sweet Potato Casserole with a Pecan Sage Sourdough Bread Topping

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.

Autumn Wedge Salad with Green Goddess Dressing

At this time of year, warm and cozy dishes seem to get all of the attention! From soups, to pastas, and everything in between, it feels like sometimes we forget about eating salads during this season! I don’t know about you, but I still crave some freshness in the midst of all the cozy! A good fall salad is one of my favorite dishes to make and I took one of my favorite wedge salads and turned it into the most delicious autumn wedge salad that you have ever tasted! My Autumn wedge salad with green goddess dressing is perfect for any night of the week, but also makes a great addition to any holiday menu too!
