Getting ready for Thanksgiving means preparing for the hungry crowd that will invade my home next week. And to do that, I need to have a nice warm, quick and easy breakfast ready and waiting in the wings. Monkey bread has been a long time go-to of mine since it's quick to make and rather impressive to see as an end result.
To keep the Thanksgiving theme and all things pumpkin, I decided to try my hand at making a pumpkin spice monkey bread today, and I was not at all disappointed...

So, a few many years back now I was pretty much obsessed with the TV show Dexter. And... no. I don't mean the cartoon. I mean the show about the serial killer that posed as a blood splatter analyst. On the day that the show would air, I would always make 'Dexter's Breakfast' to keep the mood of my favorite show going on all day long.
The breakfast came about because the beginning credits of the show are scenes cut together of Dexter making breakfast in such a way that it looks like a real 'killer' of a breakfast. If you know what I mean by my clever pun there...

It never fails, the first thing to go when we're too busy or have a limited budget, is our eating habits. However, there are plenty of tips, tricks, and hacks out there that will save you time and money in the kitchen.
Take this Creamy Sundried Tomato Basil Vodka Sauce with Mushrooms for instance; it's a one-pot sauce dish that tastes so good, they'll think you spent a fortune and spent hours on it. When in fact, it's just a handful of ingredients (most of which are already in your pantry or fridge) and half an hour to get to this blissful sauce heaven...

As Thanksgiving nears and the weather here in Texas cools off more and more, I'm all the more in the mood for all things pumpkin; and couldn't be more excited to really get to use my oven again!
Now, as I get older I've started to crave the more salty and savory things when I used to be a sweet fanatic through and through. However, from time to time... all I want and all I crave are warm, fresh-baked, homemade cookies. 'Tis the season, y'all...

The holiday season is fast approaching, which always means plenty of friends and family coming and going to visit. When this time of year rolls around, there are always two things that I like to have on hand and ready to go; a warm cup of coffee and something sweet to enjoy it with.
There isn't much that reminds me of the holidays and family fun other than a traditional and perfectly tasty sugar cookie. That's probably because my mom and I get together once a year to bake up a cookie storm in my kitchen. We usually each pick two kinds of cookies and bake the day away together. Sugar cookies are always my first choice!...

These enchiladas aren't quite naked. But, they are pretty close.
Over the past couple of weeks, I've gotten a lot of local collard green leaves in my farm box that I just wasn't too sure what to do with. They're HUGE leaves too, and while most people in the south chope them up and cook them forever... I really wanted to make as much use out of their enormous size as I could manage.
When in doubt, make it into an enchilada...
