Sometimes, you just need to get out of town for a little bit! That’s what Dave and I did this weekend. Saturday morning after baking some cookies, we packed them up and headed south to Corvallis to visit our friends. We were only out of town for about 24 hours, but boy, it felt nice. […]

Old-School Boozy Punch

I’ve been thinking about making this punch for a while. I’m getting ready to speak on a radio show about cocktails for the holidays, and I think that making an old school punch is the perfect accompaniment to a modern Thanksgiving – especially in the midst of a craft cocktail resurgence. I like the idea […]

Green Bean Casserole from Scratch

About a week ago I posted on Facebook about my favorite Thanksgiving food of all time. Not turkey. Not cranberry sauce. Not even sweet potatoes or even pumpkin pie (it doesn’t qualify because I would *never* confine pumpkin pie to just Thanksgiving). Green bean casserole is it.

Whew! Things are about to get a lot more normal around here. Two days ago, on Saturday, we had a huge Girl Scouts event for which we have been preparing for months. We worked a full day on Saturday, so today (Monday) I am home. Yesterday, thank goodness, it was time for daylight savings. I […]

Bourbon Pecan Pie

On a recommendation from a friend (holla, Rob) we tried “The Pie That’ll Make You Cry” from Ree, a.k.a. Pioneer Woman for our Thanksgiving meal. Yes, that’s right, we did Boston Cream “Pie” AND a pecan pie. For my family in Kansas, Thanksgiving usually means like six pies (because many times there are 13-14 at […]
