Canned tart cherries were my introduction to shopping at Walmart. Several years ago, I became obsessed with making a tart cherry pie for Thanksgiving. It was my missing link. A tart cherry pie would make my Thanksgivings complete. But I could not find tart cherries anywhere – not canned, not frozen (unless I wanted to pay $100 in shipping from Michigan), and certainly not fresh. Until my search landed me at Walmart and led me to become a regular Walmart shopper.Continue reading
I can’t imagine cooking anything other than a roasted spatchcocked turkey for Thanksgiving. It is hands-down my favorite way to prepare a whole bird (technically it is not whole because the backbone is removed, but you get the gist.) BUT, if I need to supplement with something smaller than an entire bird or I need to cook extra turkey in something other than my occupied oven, I am doing a slow cooker bone-in turkey breast.Continue reading
If you are hosting Thanksgiving or you are going to a potluck and need a new dish, I’ve got you covered. First off, I must mention that my new updated 2022 Thanksgiving ebook is available!! It has 10 new recipes from last year’s ebook with a total of OVER 100 recipes in one PDF with turkey troubleshooting tips, all my favorite tools and Thanksgiving must-haves, and my best strategies for a seamless Thanksgiving. Most, but not all, of the recipes are published, but the PDF has them all in one place so for $15 you can save yourself the trouble of searching my site and my books for hours and hours! #worthitContinue reading
If I had small kids at home (which I do not) or if I were having friends over for Halloween (which I am not), I would be fun and make these bell pepper jack o’lanterns for crudites and dip! I am not creative, believe me. I have zero artistic abilities. But these are super easy and do not require precision by any means. My point – if I can do it, anyone can do it!Continue reading
When in doubt, serve a fruit crisp. Everyone loves a fruit crisp. When I’m out to dinner and there are a dozen fancy choices on the menu, everyone leans towards the crisp. Or the crumble (same as a crisp but minus the oats.)Continue reading
This recipe was originally published over 10 years ago, but I still make it all the time and have given the photos a makeover!
We are a football-watching family. On any given Sunday during the season, we are hunkered down for a good part of the day at home with the likely chance of random family and friends dropping by. I like to prepare hearty, comfort food that can be left on the stove for everyone to help themselves whenever hunger strikes.Continue reading
Hubs announced to me the other day that he could eat soup for every meal. Amen! I love soup too and for lots of reasons – it’s very digestible; it’s an easy way to get in lots of vegetables, especially leafy greens; it’s a one-pot meal (you all know how I feel about washing dishes); and leftovers are awesome.Continue reading

I feel like a lot of us use the phrases “pre-pandemic” or “before the pandemic” regularly in conversation.For example, “I used to go the grocery store much more before the pandemic.” Or, “the last time I entertained indoors was pre-pandemic!” For me personally, some things have changed and have not gone back to pre-pandemic ways.For starters, grocery shopping in person.It’s not that I never go to a store, but I LOVE shopping for groceries online.I have been a Walmart.com shopper for years and years and jumped on the Walmart+ membershipwhich is the answer to my prayers – fresh, high quality (yes, organic and products I normally buy) groceries with free, same day delivery from your local Walmart ($35 minimum. Restrictions apply.)Yes, you need to pay for a membership, but have you seen LA traffic lately??It is back to pre-pandemic levels!!The membership has been well worth it.May I repeat myself – groceries delivered the same day.And, no mark-ups, no hidden fees.Continue reading
