The weather is cooling off and the busy holiday season is right around the corner. With all of the planning that goes into those special meals with family, I think it’s important to enjoy the days leading up to them too. When the wind is whipping and the sky is overcast, I like to head…
Thanksgiving Turkey, Cranberry & Brie Biscuit Sandwiches
Thanksgiving is a special time of year. Family and friends gather for a wonderful meal together and take the day to enjoy each other’s company and to give thanks. Of course Thanksgiving is full of homemade foods that we may only get to enjoy a few times a year. A slow roasted stuffed turkey, complete…
Rustic Apple Cranberry Pie
Is there anything more comforting and inviting than a homemade pie, fresh from the oven? There’s just something about a homemade pie, made with loving hands that really makes dessert time special. I’ve grown up watching my grandmother and mother make and serve pies in their kitchens. Everyone always rushes to the table to get…

With that being said,…
Cranberry Almond Baked Oatmeal
The weather has been so cold and so blustery here lately that I have been making anything and everything that makes me feel warm and cozy. For lunch and dinner, it’s mostly been soup. For breakfast, it’s been warm baked oatmeal! My whole family loves oatmeal and it’s fun to come up with different flavor…
