“We usually avoided the cranberry sauce growing up because it was a congealed glob from a can, complete with the can’s indentations. However, once my mom (Nana) started making fresh cranberry sauce, we realized it could taste great. Although not Nana’s recipe, we’ve come up with a similar version that is quick, simple and packed…
Giblet Gravy
This is Nana’s classic Thanksgiving recipe for giblet gravy. But, what are giblets you ask? This is a term used for the organs of the bird, which are usually found stored in a paper pouch inside the cavity. They normally include the heart, gizzard, kidneys and liver, but sometimes include the neck as well. Note…
Almond Gingersnaps (GF)
We love ginger, and this recipe is a great way to enjoy it. They cookies can turn out crisp or chewy, depending on the exact length of time and the temperature of the oven (which varies in spite of what the oven reads). Adjust the cooking time according to your circumstances and your preference, anywhere…
Asian Pear Salad
This recipe will make a large dinner salad for one person or a side salad for 2-3 people. It’s also easy to double or triple for a larger crowd if you’d like to serve it at a dinner party. This is lovely but still quite simple to do. We like to serve this with our…
Spiced Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies will be soft and tender, almost cake-like. Pumpkin takes the place of eggs, so they’re easier than most to convert to vegan by substituting coconut oil for the butter, if desired. Made with whole wheat flour, pumpkin, and pumpkin seeds (or nuts), these are a relatively healthful cookie. (We have used white flour…
Peanut Butter Chocolate Blondies (GF)
“We’ve made black bean brownies, so we thought, ‘Why not make white bean blondies?’ When we tried it out on our family, we asked them to guess the secret ingredient. Everyone was very surprised when we told them we had used white beans instead of flour. You will need an electric mixer to blend these…
APPLE PECAN CRISP
“I’m a southern girl, so I like pecans in just about everything, including apple crisp. We always had pecan trees in our yard, as did my grandparents, so we feasted on pecans all year long. To this day I still receive bags of fresh pecans from my parents whenever I run out, and they’re still…
Honey Orange Gingerbread
We love gingerbread, but we know some people are not fans of molasses. Try this citrusy, spicy version made with honey instead. You can leave out the orange zest and fresh ginger if you don’t have any, but the flavors won’t be quite as intense. This is a favorite autumn and winter dessert in our house.
Quick Tamale Casserole
“Nick and I try to make most things from scratch, but sometimes that just doesn’t happen. We love Mexican food, so this one of our favorite meals to prepare when we don’t have much time. Choose all-natural and preferably organic brands of the ingredients. (Read the labels.) Sometimes we prepare polenta from a mix and…
Fresh Tomato and Basil Soup
There’s nothing better than fresh summer tomatoes, especially from your own garden! The only problem is that they all seem to ripen at the same time. That’s when we pull out our recipe for Fresh Tomato Basil Soup. Served with crusty bread and some cheese, this is one of our favorite summertime meals. Even if…
