Autumn Handprint Craft Two Ways! (aka handprint turkey)

November 15, 2023
Turkey handprints

What do I love more than a quick craft? A craft that uses all the same supplies I already have. And these next two crafts use the same exact supplies, but we reimagined our process to create two beautiful works of art. First, the handprint turkey. We have a lot of family, and this year, I am feeling more crafty. You get a handmade Halloween card, and you get a…

November 25, 2021
sweet potato pie

Reintroducing Fatima’s sweet potato pie. This post was first published December 11, 2012. Reposted with updated photos. Sweet potato pie is like music to my ears. Brian never had sweet potato pie so I needed to make him one. He’s had sweet potato fries, mashed sweet potatoes, but never a pie! Like much of my family dinner menu, this pie is a family tradition in my house. In the time…

Apple Cider Doughnut Loaf Cake

Apple Cider Doughnut Loaf Cake

This apple cider doughnut loaf cake hits all the right notes. It’s not too difficult to make, it’s warm and spicy, has just the right amount of sweetness, and every bite screams ‘HELLO AUTUMN!’ Liam helped me bake this one. When I asked him what he wanted to bake, he said, “Let’s make pumpkin pie.” So proud that pumpkin pie was his first choice. When I said we were going to…

Cornbread Muffins

November 14, 2018

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and we’ve been planning everything we want to make. Cornbread is on the top of the list. Since I was a little girl, I have always loved cornbread and every year it would be on the Thanksgiving table. My mom would make the best cornbread using the Jiffy mix and a few extra ingredients. She worked her magic and never tasted so good. Everyone…

Garlic Lime Brussel Sprouts

Fatima made these garlic lime brussel sprouts as a side for our honey glazed salmon dish. They were awesome! Like I mentioned in the salmon post, I fell in love with brussel sprouts at last year’s Sidesmas (hosted annually by our friend Kate – check out Ummm Now What).   These brussel sprouts complemented our salmon dish really well. Not to mention, these were really easy to make. Basically, sauté them until…
