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!
Oh man, the weather here over the weekend was absolute perfection. Windows were open, there was a crispness in the air, and I actually could feel fall. We had Parks' 1st birthday party and celebrated with friends and family and it couldn't have been a more perfect day. His birthday will always signify the start of fall since it's on October 1st, and to me it doesn't seem like fall until October. One of my favorite ways to get into any season is to start cooking with my favorite seasonal flavors. My roasted beet and acorn squash Autumn salad is the perfect side dish or meatless dinner that will have your tastebuds in total fall bliss!
Cinco de Mayo is this weekend y'all, and let's be real about why we love this holiday. It's the perfect excuse to eat all the chips, guac, and queso that we want, and we can drink all the margaritas without feeling guilty. I've semi been celebrating all week and in fact, you SHOULD celebrate Cinco de Mayo all week long because there can never be enough Mexican food and drinks in my opinion. We are just cooking at home this weekend and having some friends over, and I figured most of you might be doing the same, so I'm sharing my Cinco de Mayo recipe roundup to help you plan out your weekend festivities!
Hi guys, Merry Christmas!
I am going to be honest here, I am struggling with what to write this morning. I had this whole plan of writing a normal happy holiday post because as of two days ago that's how I felt. And then the night before Christmas Eve was a hard one. I found out some news about a family member that hit me like a train wreck.
You know when something happens that you think could never possibly happen in your life? It only happens to other people and in movies, never to you. Well one of those things is happening currently in my family...
...is this real life?
