Ham & Bow Tie Bake
I'm still up to my eyeballs in ham. I made that crockpot beer ham a few weeks ago and have turned it into three different dishes---but I still have ham leftover. And that was a small, 3 pound ham, too! If you made a ham for Thanksgiving, you're probably swimming in ham slices as well.… Continue reading Ham & Bow Tie Bake
7 Delicious Ways to Use Up Those Thanksgiving Leftovers
If you're anything like me, on Friday you'll be up to your ears in Thanksgiving leftovers on Friday. I'm talking mounds of turkey stuffed into tupperware dishes. Cold mashed potatoes that will never taste as good as they did on Thanksgiving. Half eaten pies taking up valuable real estate in your fridge.

Cinnamon Apple Crisp
When I first started collecting recipes I used an old photo album I got when I was junior high to hold the recipe cards. The first few recipes I transcribed were family favorites. After that, I moved on to the cookbooks in my mom's pantry. After I was done with that, I collected recipes from… Continue reading Cinnamon Apple Crisp
Whiskey & Maple Glazed Sweet Potatoes
We're just days away from the most gluttonous day of the year. My pantry is locked, stocked and ready for the big day. For the first time in forever, I have Thanksgiving off. I can't go anywhere, though, since I'll more than likely have to work the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The biggest day for college… Continue reading Whiskey & Maple Glazed Sweet Potatoes
Roasted Sweet Potato Salad
There's just something about sweet potatoes. I'm guessing it's the carby one-two punch. First, you get a potato. Second, you inject it with sugar. How could anything go wrong?! I've been going to town on some sweet potatoes lately. Tomorrow is our work Thanksgiving potluck, and guess what I'm bringing? Yep: sweet potatoes. My favorite… Continue reading Roasted Sweet Potato Salad
Southwestern Corn & Potato Chowder
This recipe is a throwback. It's one that I've had stashed away in a recipe box for years. It might actually be one of the first recipes I wrote down on a note card 10+ years ago. It's 2019 and I now have 4 recipe boxes full of handwritten note card recipes. I don't know… Continue reading Southwestern Corn & Potato Chowder
Slow Cooker Pulled Ham
Are you a ham or turkey kind of person for the holidays? I'm a turkey kind of gal. Actually, I could care less what the entree is; my favorite part of holiday meals are the sides. Give me a plate full of stuffing and mashed potatoes any day over sliced turkey or ham. My family… Continue reading Slow Cooker Pulled Ham
Pecan Pie Bars
I've always been a storyteller. When I was in elementary school, I would gather my friends around and spin a yarn about my weekend. I was always so excited when I had a killer story to tell. Whether it was a trip to the grocery store with my mom, or a neighborhood biking excursion, I… Continue reading Pecan Pie Bars
Chopped Harvest Salad
It's the Christmas season, y'all! And no, I didn't forget about Thanksgiving. I like to celebrate Christmas for as long as humanly possible---and as long as the public will let me. Celebrating before November is typically frowned upon. When the clock strikes midnight on November 1st, all bets are off. I've had my holidy Spotify… Continue reading Chopped Harvest Salad
