Another turkey week has come and gone, and The Thanksgiving Feast is no longer. But oh boy, was it good! My mom does a very classic Thanksgiving meal – roast turkey (no brining, no spatchcocking, no roulade, no complications – just perfectly roasted turkey), my Grandma’s amazing stuffing recipe, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce (homemade!), […] Read more…

It’s thick and creamy and almost more of a chowder than soup. I also feel like you could do some add-ins […] Read more…
Happy Sunday night … and the night before the 2018-19 school year starts! While I can’t believe my baby is headed to high school, Joe has assured me he is ready to start the new school year. His binder is ready and lunch is packed, complete with his favorite chocolate chip cookies. I shared this […] Read more…
This pasta salad serves a small army so it’s great if you have a potluck coming up or simply have a huge family! I brought it to the marching band’s family potluck earlier this month and it was a big hit. The recipe won first place in the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association’s annual Turkey Taste-Off […] Read more…
