Telling food stories, one kitchen at a time
This is not stuffing. This is better than stuffing. In fact, Turkey Sausage and Kale Bread Pudding is the best thing I’ve ever made. This recipe is a wonderful addition to any fall feast and can easily be made vegetarian.
Happy Thursday! You guys get lucky today because I’m going to chat as little as possible. Instead, I’m going to bombard you with photos — some photos of these snackies!, but lots and lots of photos of my children.
I made this Cranberry Sauce Cream Cheese Dip a few days ago and topped it with simple, 5-minute candied pecans. And that got me thinking. Pecans deserve their own place on the appetizer table and thus, their own blog post. What’s a holiday season without nuts? Why is that? Are nuts seasonal?

Strawberry Lemon Buttermilk Pie is a traditionally Southern recipe. The flavor is spot-on — noticeably tart, but not over-powering. The crust is just what it should be — flaky and crisp layered with soft and buttery. And it’s perfectly accompanied by sweet whipped cream.
My stomach is rumbling for this. I’m trying to eat it very, very slowly, so that I can write about how it tastes before I chow down and finish the pie off and then have no real, coherent thoughts or memories about how it tasted. In dietitian world, this is called mindful eating.

White Chocolate Peanut Butter Muddy Buddy Snack Mix is a mouthful to say, but it totally rings true because you are going to take so many mouthfuls. This recipe is as addictive as it is beautiful and will add a bright pop of color to your kitchen countertop.
There are so many heavenly things about this snack mix that needed to fit in the title so you would realize just how craveable this is. What I really want to name it is: Springtime White Chocolate Peanut Butter Muddy Buddies with Peanut AND Peanut Butter M&M’s and Pretzels. But I think there’s a character limit on blog post titles…?
