The classic Sweet Potato Casserole is a given at Thanksgiving for us. We mix in a little roasted banana and a splash of booze to dress ours up and it HAS to have the praline pecan topping. Check out that recipe here. But in the meantime, I wanted to share a slightly healthier and MUCH…
Herby Dill, Garlic, & Lemon Green Beans
Another super quick and easy side dish for you to serve up this Thanksgiving? These uber yummy green beans turn a simple vegetable side into top dish on your table. And they come together in a flash.

Roasted Delicata Squash
It’s October and the Winter squash varietals have officially hit stories meaning you can easily find butternuts, acorns, spaghetti and the more rare delicata squash. We knew we loved all of the other types of Winter squash, so why hadn’t we tried delicata squash sooner? We first tasted it last fall after seeing it at…
Roasted Rosemary Potato Salad

Memorial Day Weekend & A Bean Salad

Over the years, we’ve taken my mother-in-law’s beloved sweet potato casserole recipe and come up with a few different revisions adding this or that…

These Ain’t yer Momma’s Brussels Sprouts
Ah the Brussels Sprout. The grievous, scandalous, nasty hunk of vegetable. And it has the name “sprout” attached to it. That makes it sound DELICIOUS, amirite? Look, these things hold bad memories for many of us. They were some sort of green thing our parents steamed and doused with butter (if you were lucky) and…
