Today's recipe is one of my favorite ways to prepare sweet potatoes as a side dish. Earlier this week, I shared my favorite sweet potato snack, so I figured I would round out the week with another sweet potato show-stopper. I am telling you, the smoked gouda gives this dish such depth and flavor, no one will believe you made this in under 30 minutes. I know many of you are already thinking about your Thanksgiving dinner...oh wait, is that just me? This is a great . . .
Recipe: Aunt Ruthie’s Cornbread Dressing
Happy Thanksgiving week! One of my very favorite Thanksgiving side dishes of all time is my Aunt Ruthie's Cornbread Dressing. It is packed with flavor, the perfect consistency, and is even better the next day. I know that each family has their favorite recipe, but this one can't be beat! You can easily make it the night before, and quickly heat it up before meal time. When I went hunting for this recipe, I found it in my homemade recipe binder on two small pieces of paper . . .
Recipe: Creamy Pumpkin Soup
It is finally chilly here in Texas! Hooray! I can't think of anything better than a creamy, warm soup (or stew!) for dinner. This super easy -- and delicious -- creamy pumpkin soup truly hits the spot. Recipe: Creamy Pumpkin Soup Serves 4 (inspired by this recipe) 1 medium yellow onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 2 tablespoons butter, melted 2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground . . .
Back to Basics: Creamy Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Oh, how I love a good creamy, rich mac and cheese, but it is not the easiest thing to master in the kitchen. If you don't cook your roux long enough, the creamy cheese sauce can separate and become grainy. I promise this recipe has a lot of depth and will be perfectly creamy...all without Velveeta (not that I am knocking Velveeta!). This makes quite a bit (a full 9" x 12" casserole dish), but cutting it in half is very easy. Recipe: Creamy Baked Macaroni and Cheese 3/4 . . .
