The holidays are upon us, and I don’t know about you but it truly is my favorite time of year! Family and friends gathering, crisp air, yummy food, and toasts to be made about the past year are just a few of the reasons that the holidays are so fun for me. With Layer Cake, throwing the perfect holiday gathering can be simple and beautiful! I love to entertain and truly believe that nothing brings people together more than eating and drinking together. And the good news is, entertaining doesn’t have to be stressful when you have a few tricks up your sleeve to make the day of the party a breeze!
Can someone please tell me where September went? Honestly I can’t believe that October is next week and my baby boy turns 3 on Monday! This year is going by at a scarily fast pace, don’t you think? I love this season of cozy foods and all that comes with it and want to savor it while its around! (Time slow down please.) While I may not be getting to wear my fall favorites, because Texas fall doesn’t like to allow for flannels and sweaters, I am embracing fall flavors in the kitchen! This fall chicken salad with pepita granola and a pumpkin vinaigrette is going to knock your socks off in the flavor department and is the perfect fall salad to make all season long!
Memorial Day is right around the corner and no matter what your plans are, one thing is for sure, good food is a must! Whether you are hosting a party, are at the beach, or hanging by a pool somewhere (jealous if thats the case), you need to have a yummy spread to serve up to your guests! That's why I've gathered up some of my favorite Memorial Day recipes that are crowd pleasers and perfect for any type of gathering and even just hanging at home!
It's December which means bring on everything holiday! Christmas music on repeat all day everyday, holiday baking, and cozy nights by the tree are just a few of my favorite things about this time of year. I feel like I turn back into a kid as soon as tree goes up, which this year was before Thanksgiving (because I was feeling it..) and I still love Christmas time as much now as when I was a little girl! I'm so excited to start new traditions with Parks and now that he is two, he is really starting to get into Christmas as much as his mama, which totally makes my heart sing. Christmas cookies and cocktails are two of my favorite holiday indulgences and I've got the perfect pairing for you to try this year! My matcha vanilla bean shortbread cookies paired with a boozy matcha white hot chocolate will put you in the holiday spirit immediately!
Alright guys we are less than a week away from Thanksgiving and I am guessing that you have nailed down your basics for the big day but are still trying to figure out the rest, am I right? Well don't worry, because I have your back and am going to hook you up with all of my turkey day favorites! These dishes always make an appearance at our table and I know that you are going to love them too! I'll cover the main dish, sides, and desserts, and even a special cocktail that will have your friends and family more than impressed with your spread! My Thanksgiving recipe round up is here to make your life just a little bit easier!

Thanksgiving is next week and it's definitely time to nail down your menu for the big day! One item that is a must have on the table is turkey, which sometimes can be a little intimidating when you are dealing with the whole bird! That's why I created a recipe that anyone can make using turkey breast cutlets! Not only is this recipe easier and less time consuming than cooking a whole turkey, but it's also a fun new take on the main course that your whole family will love! My mushroom and bok choy stuffed turkey cutlets are the perfect addition to your Thanksgiving menu and I can't wait for you to make them!
