Don’t you just love the smell of roasted turkey? It’s always an occasion when we roast a whole bird and we all hover around in the kitchen enjoying the delicious aroma while eagerly awaiting our first bite.

The best part is you roast the veggies alongside the tenderloins so everything cooks at the same time....
Serving Beet Hummus My favorite thing to eat any hummus with is pita chips. I could eat a whole bag. That said, this has all the makings of a healthy dip recipe with its base ingredients. So if you want to keep it all healthier, serve this with veggies like cucumber slices, red peppers, and carrots. My favorite is the cucumber slices. “OMG! Beets are the best thing ever grown on this glorious planet....
Storing Blue Cheese Dressing Because of the dairy in this recipe, I only recommend that you store homemade blue cheese dressing for 4 days in your refrigerator. This Blue Cheese Dressing recipe, like my other dressings, uses ingredients you should already have on hand. The only thing I had to pick up from the store was some blue cheese. Instead of using buttermilk, we are using skim milk and some lemon juice....
Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram “They wouldn’t be appropriate for the table.” 9 YEARS OLD MY FRIENDS. Speaking of inappropriate jokes, we were at my sister-in-law’s wedding reception last week, and I went over to Nana and Bumpa (Eric’s 85-year-old grandparents) to get them on the dance floor. Uptown Funk was playing. I was singing. The first time I said “Uptown funk don’t give it to you,” Nana gives me this shocked look and says, “Oh!...
The book basically eschews all the “psychobabble” from the 1960s and tells you to parent the same as your great-grand parents did. (Minus the belt.) Lots of common sense. No BS. It’s right up my ally, so no surprise I love it. No surprise, my kids are hating it. You should see the looks on their faces when I tell them there’s a new sheriff in town. It’s as if I’m torturing them....

Charlotte and I couldn’t find Truman yesterday. Our house isn’t that big, so I was just on the edge of starting to worry that he wasn’t answering our calls, when I remembered to check the laundry room. And there he was, fast asleep. I had sent him to a timeout for eating frosting off the kitchen floor, and he decided to say forget you mom, I’m taking a nap. (I know he intended to take a nap because the lights were off....

So you know how everybody always has that One Neighbor? Growing up ours was the guy who painted a giant mural of mallard ducks on the front of his house. Or maybe WE were That Neighbor. When I was in high school my parents accidentally painted their house pink. My mom called it “mauve” but I’m just being real Mom, it was pink. Our new neighbors (around the corner, thank goodness) beat both of those though....
I like making fudge at Christmastime, and packaging it up as gifts for friends and family. We usually have fudge out for snacking at holiday parties too. Fudge (including this recipe, puppy chow fudge, and chocolate Velveeta fudge) is definitely a Christmas requirement around here! This fudge is made with creamy, sweet white chocolate, fresh eggnog, and warm spices. It’s a far cry from the traditional chocolate fudge flavor, but with the same smooth texture and decadent, melt-in-your-mouth quality that everyone loves....
Tender and juicy chicken is cooked with browned mushrooms and garlic and then coated with the most amazing creamy sauce. Leftovers of this dish almost never exist in my house, it’s just that good.

This dish is great for serving guests, or for just filling your family’s bellies at dinner time....
