Food

In the fall and winter, I love to make a lot of casserole dishes because they are warm, filling, and can last throughout the week. My kids love pasta and I’m trying to sneak more veggies into their diet whenever I can. That’s where this roasted Mediterranean vegetable baked ziti comes in.

One of my absolute favorite parts about the holiday season is having more excuses to bake. I love to bake for a couple reasons. First, I find it very therapeutic and relaxing. Second, I love making things to share with the people I love.

This bacon-braised Brussels sprouts recipe is one of our annual holiday family favorites. Wow, I can’t believe Thanksgiving is almost here! Do you have any favorite family recipes you make every year? This is one of our go-to recipes during the holidays because Brussels sprouts are in season and who doesn’t love veggies covered in bacon, bread crumbs, and cheese?

Have you ever heard of pasta fagioli? First, it’s Italian so it’s technically called pasta e fagioli, pronounced “pas-ta fa-jo-li” in English, and literally means ‘pasta and beans’. It’s a classic Italian soup, but depending on the variety of bean and type of pasta, it can almost be called a stew.

Are you into sweet potato recipes for your holiday meals? What are your go-to side dishes? We almost always make cornbread stuffing, mac and cheese, and roasted Brussels sprouts. Every now and then, we’ll also make a sweet potato casserole.

What do you get when you mix Dr Pepper and popcorn? A ridiculously delicious Dr Pepper caramel corn recipe. To be honest with you, I had my doubts about this recipe. However, I’m so glad I tried it because it is such a fun and easy way to make caramel corn.

What are you making for the holidays this year? Tired of regular mashed potatoes? I think you should try garlic smashed potatoes as one of your holiday side dishes this year. Why – you ask? Well, these are so easy to make and taste so much better than your standard mashed potatoes.

Hi, I’m Stacey and I’m a pumpkin spice addict. I can’t help but laugh when I look back at the four years of blogging and realize I’ve made nearly a dozen pumpkin spice recipes. I’ve been a fan of pumpkin bread and all the other assortments of pumpkin since I was a little kid.

What are you cooking for Thanksgiving this year? Chances are high that you (or your family or friends) will make some green bean casserole recipes. As a kid, I distinctly remember my grandma made it and I didn’t eat much of it.
