Where do I even start with this one? Unexpected. Inspiring. Innovative. This recipe is all these things – and turkey needs to be this way, believe me. Yes, turkey is Thanksgiving. And yes, turkey makes the best deli sandwiches. But turkey can be – and is – so much more, as hopefully you’ve seen in […] Read more…
Happy Turkey Tuesday, friends! I am well aware there are about a bazillion and one recipes for chili out there, but what’s one more, especially if it’s turkey chili, right? This week, I tried a new turkey chili recipe shared by a blogger I really enjoy at A Lovely Living. I loved how it was jam-packed […] Read more…
My Mom is famous for her homemade spaghetti and meatballs. Or at least, we think she should be famous for her spaghetti and meatballs. Legend has it this recipe was the very first meal she cooked for my dad while they were dating, and he has been smitten ever since. Truth! I know this recipe […] Read more…

I love bread, pasta, cheese, potatoes, creamy soups, chili, and the venerable hotdish (also known as casserole if you live outside of Minnesota). And turkey, of […] Read more…
Honest truth – I was thinking I wouldn’t have time to do a Turkey Tuesday post this week. I wasn’t prepared, I didn’t have a recipe in mind, I wasn’t even sure I had ingredients on hand. (And certainly creating the Best Ever Turkey Meatloaf wasn’t in the cards.) In other words, welcome to Monday […] Read more…
