This weekend we are holding our annual holiday party and this Holiday Old Fashioned is on the menu! It is pretty similar to a regular old fashioned but we added some triple sec and rosemary and used maple syrup for a little sweetness. If you have large ice cubes those are awesome for old fashioneds […]
It’s December which means its twice baked sweet potato season!! Okay okay you got me, that’s not a real thing because it’s always a good time to make these.

This year we are about to throw our 3rd annual holiday party and I get more excited every year! Now that we have done it for a couple of years I have a good handle on what to do at what times to prepare and how the flow of the night should go. In order […]
It’s the day after thanksgiving and you know what that means?? I’m about to put peppermint in just about everything. I love chocolate peppermint so I make sure to get that combo in wherever I can – fudge being no exception! I grew up eating my moms “5 minute fudge” that was a super simple […]
I DID IT!!! I freakin love hot chocolate. I have the fondest memories of getting home from water polo practice or swimming growing up and being freezing so my mom would make me a piping mug of hot cocoa. It is so comforting and the perfect dessert on a cold night. I love having a […]
Tis the gingerbread season and I am here for it!! I created this paleo gingerbread cake recipe and although it is incredible alone, I think it is made way better when you serve it in trifle form with mixed berries and dairy free whipped cream.

Every single thanksgiving when we have turkey I think WHY DO WE ONLY DO THIS ONCE A YEAR!? And yet, here we are! Luckily I got a turkey in my butcher box early this month and decided to cook it in our Traeger so I could get a super simple recipe to you. We are […]
I am so excited to share this incredibly easy, nutritious and delicious recipe with you today!! Last week I tested out smoking a turkey on our traeger (recipe coming next week), so we had tons of leftover turkey to use up. I was thinking “hmmm I just want to make something easy in a skillet […]
Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best ones! These Maple Thyme Roasted Sweet Potatoes are easy enough for a weeknight but unique enough for your thanksgiving spread too. A bit of maple syrup brings yummy flavor but it also makes them caramelize just a bit and make them irresistible. I am clearly a sweet potato […]
A few years ago pork tenderloin was in our regular rotation because it is lean and usually pretty cheap. But way too often it would end up dry! Well once I learned that breading it lightly, searing, then finishing in the oven made it soooo moist and delicious, we got super obsessed. Then we overloaded […]
I am a huge shepherds pie fan in any and all forms! And when you want those flavors in a very quick and efficient way, soup is the way to go. On Sunday the temperature actually dropped below 70 degrees so it is feeling like fall! Even though it was 95 degrees two days before […]
