|| NEW RECIPE || It’s a choose your own adventure recipe! Do you want an appetizer or salad? The building blocks are the same: endives, apple, candied pecans, fromage blanc, and cranberry shallot dressing. It’s been a festive hit in either form... and everyone begs for the recipe. Naturally I decided to share it here- recipe linked in bio 🎄

My grandma used to make these every Christmas and she called them her English toffee bars - we could debate whether they are actually “toffee” but they definitely contain the key ingredients of butter and sugar (not skimping on either). She passed away a little over a month ago, joining my grandfather and two of her daughters (one of which is my mother). I make these not only because they are the easy and tasty, but because I hope to pass along her love and traditions to my family, especially my daughter, Adeline. I hope you all take time this holiday season to be with those you love, knowing not to take it for granted! [Recipe linked in bio]⠀

I bet many of you already have the ingredients to assemble a simple yet festive potpourri. I haven’t gone as far as to throw out all my candles, but it’s nice to know that what I’m smelling isn’t just a bunch of chemicals. I love adding a small cutting off the back of our Christmas tree for a little scent of fir (no one will notice)! Directions/tips linked in my bio.

Holiday spiced zucchini bread- you can have your fruit and veggies and your cake at the same time (possibly a stretch but I’m going with this train of thought). Plus it makes your home smell like all the quintessential holiday spices and tastes just as good if not better than it smells. Recipe linked in bio 🎄

Surely there is no better way to make use of thanksgiving leftovers than in this decadent grilled cheese sandwich. Toasty buttered bread, melted sharp cheddar, and creamy brie pairs well with literally any leftover you have in your fridge right now. But at the end of the day, the only crime you can commit with thanksgiving leftovers is not to eat them. Seriously. Recipe linked in bio for you!

What are you thankful for today? 🙏🏼I’m thankful for our three month old daughter, Adeline 💗 Happy thanksgiving to you and yours!

Still looking for a #vegan side dish to bring to Thanksgiving? How about a show stopping salad that’s both pretty and delicious. I know there’s precious real estate on your plates (and in your stomachs) but this is worth every bite. Green salad with roasted sweet potato, pomegranate, toasted umami pepitas, and a creamy lime dressing is linked in my bio. P.s. Let’s have a little grace for ourselves and especially for the mobs at the grocery stores today! Happy Thanksgiving!

Sometimes (ok often) it’s the side dishes that steal the show at Thanksgiving. If you are in need of some inspiration check out these sides! 1] roasted delicata squash with cranberries 2] cranberry sauce with rosemary, port, and figs 3] roasted cumin carrots with cardamom yogurt sauce. The link in my bio will take you directly to my index of 18 different Thanksgiving recipes! Happy Thanksgiving!

My newest thanksgiving favorite- just posted the recipe last week! Maple and nutmeg pie with salted bourbon whipped cream. The cooler cousin of pumpkin pie (sorry pumpkin pie lovers). 3 days until Thanksgiving and you’re in luck, this pie can be made the day before 👏🏼🦃

The evolution of a pie crust. Many years of practice and I still feel like a novice when it comes to baking! So who is team baking and who is team cooking? Tell me in the comments below! P.S. this crust became the vessel for my maple and nutmeg pie with salted bourbon whipped cream.... it’s my personal substitute for pumpkin pie and I’m not the least bit mad about it. Recipe linked in bio!
