The perfect addition to turkey is cranberry sauce. I used to go and buy the jellied sauce in the can. I know, but it is tasty and quick. Then I tried to make my own cranberry sauce from scratch. Little did I know that it is almost as quick to make as it is to [...]

Thanksgiving Pizza

Traditionally the day after Thanksgiving is filled with shopping deals a lot of leftovers. I have been thinking about ways to use the leftovers. I have finally [...]

Monday was Herb Roasted Turkey, Tuesday was whipped red skin potatoes, Wednesday we took a break to honor the troops and today is a twist on classic herb stuffing. I find that most blogs don’t tackle Thanksgiving till the day before or even the [...]

Whipped Red Skin Potatoes
I am in full Turkey Day mode. To go with the turkey that I made yesterday, I decided to make some whipped red skin potatoes. Red skin potatoes are my favorite. They are not too starchy and they taste great. Since they have less starch, they whip up nicely. Plus, I like having the skins [...]

Excess at its best – The Krispy Kreme Breakfast Sandwich
You guys always ask me to make the craziest foods. I am not one to let anyone down. Today I took bacon to a new level. I sandwiched it between a Krispy Kreme doughnut. After creating the monster I was a little scared to eat it. I built up some courage and took a bite. [...]

Turkey Meatball Subs
Sometimes I get tired and want to take a shortcut. Making meatballs from scratch takes a lot of time and effort. So the other day when I received a shipment of turkey meatballs from my advertisers Shadybrook Farms and Foodbuzz.com I was excited. Shadybrook Farms is known for Turkey. The turkey meatballs that I received [...]
