It happens every Thanksgiving... What do you do with all that leftover turkey? And believe me when I say that I have a freezer full of it this year. And you know what? I'm not at al mad at it either.
I'm happy to say that I've got a solution for you right here.
I originally started making this soup after Thanksgiving a few years back, and honestly, I still haven't changed the recipe from my original version of it. That's just how good it is...
This Lightened Up Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie has been a family favorite for many years now, we're thinking maybe 10 years at least. The original is what we made this year for Christmas, mostly because I don't have my 'skinny' pantry on hand with my usual bag-of-tricks. But, the usual way that I make it is just as delicious and lightened up by at least half the calories and sugar too!
This pie is great for almost any holiday, Thanksgiving through New Years and back again. I honestly haven't come across anyone that didn't like it yet and it's more often than not, a recipe with legs. That is to say that the recipe is often requested by friends and family after they enjoy it!
Since this is such a rich flavored pie, I usually like to cut it into smaller slices. A little bit can go a long way, especially if you use a traditional bourbon!…

Even though Halloween is over, pumpkin season is still upon us. And I love to find creative and fun uses for pumpkins in the kitchen all the way through Thanksgiving. This Breakfast Stuffed Pumpkin would be a super fun and easy way to feed the family around the Holidays, or even as breakfast on Thanksgiving morning!
My local grocery place had pumpkins on sale for just one dollar and fifty cents, so I grabbed up one of the smaller pie pumpkins. They’re small, sweet, and meant to be used for cooking and eating unlike some of their larger cousins…

I’ve made a handful of unique dishes over the years that make for a fun pumpkin/fall twist on classic recipes. This Chicken & Sweet Potato Curry is one of them! One of my favorite Fall inspired recipes is this Pumpkin Ramen from a few years back, which reminds me that I need to make it again this year since I haven’t yet. But this Chicken & Sweet Potato Curry is not only good, but it’s healthy AND perfectly festive as the weather starts to cool off.
Nothing will warm you up quicker than a warm meal that’s also full of warm flavors! I’ve always loved the mix of pumpkin and curry. Curry already tends to have warmth from curry powder and cayenne, which as it turns out, both pair super well with pumpkin…

With just a few days more before it’s Halloween I wanted to make my daughter’s lunch box extra special. So, I decided to make this fun Halloween colored sandwich bread! I made it based off of my Rainbow Bread, but with a slight recolor to go along with Halloween!
I made this bread dough in my bread machine and then colored it, sandwiched it all together, rolled it up and made it into a loaf for baking. You can also make this bread without a bread machine. I only used mine for the mixing and rising aspect…

Every month or so there must be a ‘wine and cheese’ night at my house. What does that mean? Well, that means we sendup having wine and cheese for dinner. Charcuterie boards are a lot of fun to play around with, especially around the holidays. That’s mostly because you get the chance to try wines and cheeses that you otherwise wouldn’t.
Take this Halloween Cheese Board for instance. I made it this past weeks mission to go out and seek cheeses that were ‘spooky’ and on theme with Halloween. I think one of my favorites that I found was this port infused cheese that gave it this really pretty marbled purple look!…
