Butternut Squash Lasagne with Mushrooms, Sage, Kale, and Cashew-Cauliflower Bechamel Recipe

Here it is – the last Thanksgiving recipe I will share this year. I never post any Thanksgiving recipes after this point because I am hoping you will have committed to your menu in its entirety by now. No more going back and forth, hemming and hawing. Don’t overthink it. Whatever you have chosen will be wonderful. The important thing is to have it set so you can secure all your ingredients and tools and be well into prep-ahead mode as soon as possible!Continue reading

Planning a Happy Thanksgiving 2020 – 2 Weeks and Counting!

This post was edited from the original published on November 10, 2011.

Life is unpredictable, but Thanksgiving is not and it is 2 weeks away! My family and I are excited! Don’t let these Thursday posts stress you out. The whole point is to show you what you can do in advance, not what you must do in advance. All these tips and strategies are most relevant to the hosts and hostesses who are preparing most or all of the meal themselves and who have a busy schedule leading up to the holiday. If I didn’t get a lot of these tasks completed early, I don’t see how I could pull off this meal without tons of stress.

I’m so thrilled so many of you are happy with the Thanksgiving ebook! Thank you for sharing all of your feedback. For those of you on the fence, if you are planning ANY large holiday gathering or meal with many components, this ebook will be the best $15 you have ever spent! Click here to get your ebook. 🙂

Gluten-Free Chocolate Pumpkin Tart Recipe

Usually, I am a Don’t-Mess-With-Chocolate kind of gal, but I am also Team Chocolate-Makes-Everything-Better. I am definitely in the latter camp for this recipe. Pumpkin Pie is not the one I go for on Thanksgiving. I like it perfectly well, but with everything else I make, it’s not my #1. Unless I add chocolate.Continue reading

Planning a Happy Thanksgiving 2020 – 3 Weeks and Counting!

This post has been edited from the one originally published on Thursday, November 3, 2011.

If you followed the advice in my post last Thursday, perhaps you you thought about how many guests you will be hosting on Thanksgiving. What about your menu? The more solified your menu, the more you can start prepping. Coincidentally, I taped a Thanksgiving segment with Rachael Ray that aired on her show on Friday, November 2nd, 2018. It was a very fun segment to do and I shared some of my favorite things to get done three weeks before Thanksgiving. I actually did 90% of my grocery shopping! Another reminder that my 2022 Thanksgiving ebook is available! For $15, you will get all my Thanksgiving recipes, tips and tricks, do-ahead strategies and more! You will have everything you need to plan and execute your best Thanksgiving ever. Click here to access the Thanksgiving ebook. My November online cooking class has just been uploaded and is available here for individual purchase. This month’s menu is AMAZING! If you haven’t committed to a menu, use this one.

This week we have a few more tasks that we can check off the list.

Apple Cider-Pumpkin Bundt Cake Recipe

Ok, what is happening for Halloween this year? I am asking a serious question. My kids are not little anymore, so I don’t need to make a decision about whether or not they will be trick-or-treating. I need to know if YOUR kids are trick-or-treating so I can buy candy and be prepared. Continue reading

Turkey Bolognese Spaghetti Squash Casserole Recipe

If you have never been able to like spaghetti squash, let’s try again. My husband and son are just not fans, whereas my daughters and I love it. I think if you go into spaghetti squash expecting a pasta alternative, you’re going to be disappointed. I never feel like I am eating spaghetti when I twirl strands of squash on my fork, whether it’s zoodles or spaghetti squash. But I do like it for what it is.Continue reading
