Thanksgiving isn't even here yet, but we had a ton of leftover from our garlic bacon butter turkey. Turkey sandwiches only get you so far, it's time to get creative. When I was doing our Thanksgiving shopping I made sure to pick up a couple boxes of Stove Top, cheddar cheese soup, and some extra cheese with leftovers in mind. Those three ingredients when paired with your ...
Slow Cooker Philly Cheese Steak with Tabasco
Don’t shoot the messenger, but it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. To be fair, in Wisconsin it’s pretty normal to see snow before Thanksgiving. Snow always gives me mixed feelings. I’m not a fan of the cold, the driving conditions, and when the beautiful white powder eventually turns into a grey muddy sludge. I do however love waking up in the middle of the night to a ...
Garlic Bacon Butter Thanksgiving Turkey
This year we held a little Thanksgiving gathering early, since it was so early I started calling it Fakesgiving. Even though it was only the beginning of November we still got to spend time with family that we're thankful for and we still had way too much food. The highlight of our meal was of course our delicious Garlic Bacon Butter Thanksgiving Turkey. Our go-to turkey ...
Thanksgiving Table Runner DIY Burlap and Sharpie (no sewing!)
This DIY burlap table runner tutorial contains affiliate links. I knew I wanted our Thanksgiving, or #Fakesgiving as I like to call it, to have some sort of pretty tablescape. I wanted something simple, and I thought a burlap table runner would be perfect. I wasn't able to find a burlap table runner on short notice, and I bet if I did it would be quite pricey. So I ...
Lemon Garlic Roasted Vegetables
The holiday season is full of menacingly delicious dishes that are waiting around every corner to give you a heavy punch to the stomach and make you double over with gluttonous agony. From mashed potatoes and stuffing, to coma inducing turkey there are heavy foods on every plate just waiting to fill you up and put you in a sleeper hold. As much as we love these foods they tend ...
Bacon and Sausage Homestyle Dressing
This week we did something that only bloggers would do, we held what I liked to call a #Fakesgiving. We invited 4 family members over for a huge elaborate Thanksgiving dinner. Oh, and by huge I mean we bought a 22 pound turkey and too many side dishes(including the bacon and sausage homestyle dressing that I'm sharing with you today), plus an apple pie for dessert. Since we've ...
Simple From Scratch Garlic Cheddar Bay Biscuits
We have included some affiliate links in case you need anything to help you make these awesome biscuits! I have a pretty popular recipe for Garlic Cheddar Biscuits that's been pinned almost 20,ooo times (that's a lot!) They're really delicious, but they don't rise as much as I would like. So I decided to go back to my favorite ever Red Lobster copy cat recipe for Simple From ...
Homemade Bisquick Baking Mix
If you know me, you know I love to cook and bake from scratch. I’m not crazy though, you won’t find me making from scratch pop-tarts or Girl Scout cookies...at least not yet. I do love making things like homemade pie crust and taco seasoning, because who wants mystery ingredients in their pie crust when you can make it with 4 simple ingredients? So I did it again. My favorite ...
Easy Pumpkin Bars
How many times have you gotten a recipe from your mom, you know that one recipe that you remember from when you were a kid, one of those delicious treats that you never forget. These recipes get handed down from generation to generation, you get them all from your mom but she got them from her mom, and her grandma. Food is not just something to sustain you and keep you alive it ...
Apple Pie Monkey Bread Muffins
I love making monkey bread. It’s fun to make (your kids can even help!) and so delicious. Being that it’s still apple season and we have a ton of homemade apple pie filling around our house I searched for a delicious apple pie monkey bread recipe and came up short. Even the most reputable websites used refrigerator dough for their recipes. So I took it in my own hands and made ...
Homemade Apple Pie Filling
Apple pie is one of the tastiest American traditions that I know of, a warm slice with a nice big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, you can’t hardly beat it especially after a great meal with family and friends. Homemade apple pie filling probably sounds like a daunting task to most people, but it is really not so bad especially if you have helpers. Preparing and canning foods ...
