At my house, we like to eat our Thanksgiving dinner in the middle of the afternoon rather than at night. But no matter how much I tell myself to save room for the big meal, my body still thinks it wants to eat at lunchtime. Obviously, the solution is appetizers! You cannot go wrong with these easy […]
I’m going to say what maybe some of you have also thought: Christmas has been making me a little nervous since last January. Christmas is a season of joy and light and life! And cookies. And parties. And desserts. And indulgence with family and friends.
A few weeks ago, I told Sarah of Well Dined that all I wanted to do this Fall is bake, bake, bake, and I wondered whether she would mind eating nothing but cookies for lunch when we got together. She thoughtfully responded that we should make empanadas. And after we made these, we congratulated ourselves […]
About a year ago, a good friend of ours left a bottle of spiced rum at our house, as a gift. To be honest, neither of us are big cocktail drinkers. And so, the bottle of rum has gathered dust in the cabinet. But then, as part of the Secret Recipe Club challenge for October, I […]

I have never liked pumpkin pie. I know I’m not alone in that. Because of pumpkin pie, I believed until well into my adulthood that I hated all pumpkin things. Thank God I got over that! But seriously, pumpkin pie is not the only way to enjoy your pumpkin this Thanksgiving. And why do pie […]
There is so much to be thankful for! Day 7: Thankful for new friends and birthday parties. Thankful for family visiting from out of town, for cuddles with Caitlin and s’mores around the fire pit. Day 8: Thankful that my brother is home from his adventures in Africa! Day 9: Thankful for the cool weather […]
