As Christmas approaches, I feel increasingly anxious because I've barely started shopping for gifts, my Christmas dinner menu isn't finalized, and I haven’t made a single cookie yet! I’m definitely behind this year... Ideally, I’d like to add something new each year to our cookie repertoire, but since I haven’t even begun looking for recipes that appeal to me, it’s becoming more likely that I’ll just repeat what I've made in previous years. However, there was something new I tried a few years ... continue reading...

Fiesta Friday #618
During the busy days leading up to Thanksgiving, I somehow managed to make these pickled cranberries. Only to forget to use or serve them on the day itself, darn it! It would have been a perfect match for the roasted turkey, of course, sigh… I've since served them alongside these roast pork sliders, and they tasted fine with the sandwiches but nothing to write home about. I think maybe they’ll be better in a cocktail like a Cranberry Martini. What else can you do with these shiny, ... continue reading...

Happy Day After Thanksgiving aka Black Friday aka Snooze Day for me. Who wants to do anything anyway after a night of too much food?!

Here ... continue reading...

It's a week until Thanksgiving, and I haven't even picked out my turkey! I need to get moving! This year, I'd like to try something new on our Thanksgiving table, and it's going to be this. It's Miso-Gravy Smothered Green Beans, from NYT Cooking. Granted, it's not a pretty dish. But it's all about the taste, right? And I happen to think it's delicious. Then again, what do I know? Not everything I serve is always well-appreciated, especially during Thanksgiving. Everyone seems to want the ... continue reading...

We skipped our usual Taco Tuesday this week. Sometimes plans just don’t work out. When the husband heard me sighing over the unused ingredients for the missed Taco Tuesday, he quipped, “No worries, let’s have Thalad Thursday instead.” 😂😂 So that’s what we had for dinner last night. Thalad Thursday, I mean Taco Salad on Thursday, might become a regular thing in our house from now on 😂 Now, These!
