Step-by-step instructions to create the ultimate Thanksgiving staple–just in time for the holidays

Thanksgiving is coming, y’all. Don’t be the person serving Patti Pies at your table or the guest bringing a sad, store-bought dessert to the potluck. Don’t get roasted by your friends and family. Don’t have your coworkers talking behind your back after the office potluck. […]

Y’all know I love to play hostess with the mostest any ol’ time but especially during the holiday season…which is now. I went into Trader Joe’s for wine a little over a week ago then just started grabbing things (I blame Katey McFarlan for piquing […]

By now, y’all likely know that I tend to get into the holidays. There are plenty of Christmas and Thanksgiving things all over the blog as proof. There isn’t anything for Halloween, though, and there’s a reason for that: I don’t typically observe the holiday. […]

What’s the temperature like around where you live? Right about now, it’s a brisk 80 degrees in Houston and we’ve had quite a bit of rain. Not exactly autumnal but at least it’s no longer scorching. I’m not sure when we’ll get the cozy weather, […]

Hello, October. Today’s recipe, an autumn almond breakfast smoothie, is part of the official welcome wagon into fall. We’ve got an autumn recipe and, guess what. There’s no pumpkin here, folks! Fall may not seem like the time for smoothies but It’s creamy and dreamy […]

You probably clicked on today’s post thinking one of two things: Another pumpkin recipe? Enough already! or It’s about damn time! Give me allll the pumpkin. Whatever the case, don’t panic. This is not the beginning of a slew of orange-colored eats nor is it the only […]

It’s November, y’all! Some may say “Where did the year go?!” and, while I agree that it has flown by, this is my favorite time of year. I’m a summer baby and enjoy the warmth of the season but the end of the year is […]

Pies seem like a must around this time of year. I’ve shared a few pies with y’all over the years (grapefruit & ginger, apple with brie, roasted strawberry) and thought it was time to add another one to the mix. This easy classic apple pie […]

A light, chewy, and addictive remix of the classic cookie recipe that’s perfect for Fall.

Have the best of both worlds on your breakfast table with apple pie French toast made with skillet-caramelized apple pie filling.

I don’t really get in to the swing of Fall desserts and foods until October because…Texas. Even though it’s still hot outside, there are acorns and leaves on the ground and just the slightest hint of a breeze in the air. I’m in an autumnal mood and […]

Barring any technical difficulties, this post should go up on March 14th, which is Pi Day. Did I plan ahead to make that happen? Not at all. God was looking out for me, as usual, because I completely forgot about the day and just happened to […]

Applesauce quick bread is an easy, lightly sweet Fall favorite that can be enjoyed year round.
