Well hello, friends! It has been a crazy few months, but I am back to share a special Thanksgiving post. How can Thanksgiving be NEXT week? It’s amazing that 2020 seems like it has gone so fast, yet it also feels like it has been the longest year. Today, I am sharing a few of the best Thanksgiving recipes. Not your typical Thanksgiving recipes of stuffing and cranberry sauce, but here are a few dishes that work for not only Thanksgiving, but the entire fall season.
Now that the temperatures are beginning to feel like fall, it finally feels acceptable to enjoy some of fall’s best flavors. Let’s be honest though, I’ve been drinking pumpkin coffee and eating pumpkin flavored everything for the past few weeks now! I always love checking out Trader Joe’s food selection (you can see my last Trader Joe’s haul here), but their fall inspired foods are always some of my favorites. Here are this year’s Fall Finds from Trader Joe’s.
It’s hard to believe we are just about half way through August already. Soon, it will be time for fall and everything pumpkin spice. However, I am still holding onto these last few weeks of summer with some of summer’s best desserts. From summer sugar cookies to peanut butter s’mores, here are the best summer desserts:
Summer is not over yet! Jumping back to summer related content to share these summer sugar cookies. We made these a few weeks ago to test out a new technique and today I am sharing the results of our experimentation with royal frosting!
Although Labor Day is celebrated as the last official day of summer, today celebrates the first unofficial day of fall! Fall is my favorite season: from the clothes to the food, it is something I look forward to each year. As a preview to all the delicious fall recipes, today I am recapping some of the best fall sweets. From caramel corn cupcakes to baked pumpkin donuts, these are just a few fall flavors I will be eating to kick off the new season.
After sharing my top 5 Trader Joe’s finds a few months ago (see that post here), I received such great feedback I thought I would share another Trader Joe’s related post with new finds. With new discoveries each time I visit the store, this could turn into a quarterly series! As I mentioned in my last Trader Joe’s post, I usually don’t find my weekly groceries at TJ’s. I use it more for speciality products and snacks. I find it difficult to shop there for “everyday items” because they might not always have, for example, asparagus in stock. However, if I am looking for snacks and other non-staples, Trader Joe’s is great. Here is another Trader Joe’s haul: 6 new finds.
It’s hard to believe tomorrow is the first day of August. Where has this summer gone?! With only a few weeks of summer remaining, here are 6 recipes to try before the end of summer.
It has been a lot few weeks here in D.C. After starting the summer off on a cool and rainy note, the traditional D.C. heat and humidity came back a few weeks ago in full force. I’m always looking for ways to beat the heat, whether it is with cool dress or summertime treats and these limeade popsicles. The perfect cooling dessert or snack, you will be making this easy recipe for the rest of summer!
Ever since I shared this Peach Caprese Salad, I’ve been craving peaches. Summer is the season for them after all! A few weeks ago, I was dreaming of the Southern Peach Cake I shared with you last summer trying to think of a way to enjoy a peach dessert without all the calories. Enter these grilled peaches with vanilla ice and a delicious cinnamon sauce. The perfect summer dessert and an excuse to fire up your grill for something other than hamburgers!
Happy May, friends! Isn’t it crazy that we are already starting the fifth month of the year? The start of May means one thing. Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner! I always like to share a Mexican-themed food post for the holiday and this year I went the sweet route with these Cinco de May sugar cookies! These sugar cookies are the very best and with the fun frosting colors and decorations, you will be ready to party on Saturday.
