Make Ahead Goat Cheese Mashed Potatoes
Here's an amazing new addition to my Thanksgiving side dishes this year! I tested this recipe out for a steak night and we LOVED how it came out. The goat cheese really made the dish creamy as well as using a ricer. If you don't have one of these tools they are a must...
Brûlée Pumpkin Pie
Here's a fun twist on the usual pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. We really enjoyed it. If you are not a huge crust fan you could easily make filling in a baking . I did use a premade pie crust, which is ok to do too. The filling is amazing without being overly sweet....
Ginger and Scallion Crab
One of my son's favorite things to do at my parents house is go crabbing! Secretly I love it to!! I've tried cooking crabs a few ways, but after making this one I don't know if I can go back to my other recipes. A neighbor shared this one with me and said it tasted...
Lasagna Stuffed Chicken
Lasagna can be time consuming and if you love the taste, but need to cut back on the pasta, here's a great idea. These stuffed chicken breast where easy to prep ahead of time. I added some cooked pasta on the side to soak up the leftover sauce, but a simple salad...

Reuben Loaded Baked Potato
I started this post last year when I lost all my files and ended up redoing my blog as a result. I wanted to get this post done because it's a great twist on the classic Rueben. My brother makes some fantastic cured venison so we had to give it a try at the time. I'm...
Seared Scallops with Quinoa and Apple Salad + Butternut Squash Puree
Here's a dish that works as an appetizer or as a main dish for this Fall season. Sometimes I like to do a fancier dish like this as a main dish just to try out. All of the components are really good and can be done ahead of time to save on plating time while you are...

I have to say I was a little iffy when I saw this recipe, but you can't just a book by it's cover so I gave it a shot. Boy am I glad I did! It's soooo easy to make and taste really good. I loved the citrus notes from the clementine's and the dish was well balanced. My...
French Onion Burgers
We are about to hit the busy season which means you'll need some quick and easy dinner ideas feeding guest. While I love to make burgers, I never seem to make them taste exactly the same every time so I came up with using premade dry dips. This one is a French Onion...
Slithering Snake Snack
Our school recently had a Texas Snakes Program and my son requested a snake theme lunch. I'm excited in 3rd grade he still loves when I do a theme lunch so I couldn't disappoint! I packed him a snake, snake venom, snake eggs, dried snakes and gummy 2 headed snakes....
