Have you started planning your Thanksgiving Menu yet? Who cooks the Thanksgiving dinner in your family? When I was growing up, my mom or Grandma would typically cook our turkey and my dad would hover to make sure it didn’t overcook. This month I’ll be sharing some of my Thanksgiving menu and some of my Grandma’s favorite recipes. Ya’ll know how good Grandma recipes are. This turkey isn’t Grandma’s recipe (the stuffing I’m sharing later this week is, though), but it’s simple and delicious.
How to Cook Duck Breast and a Red Wine Pomegranate Sauce
When we lived in Paris, we ate duck breast twice a week. And why wouldn’t we? It was cheap(er), and among the most delicious meats I’ve ever eaten. To be sure, I fouled (see what I did there:)?) up the duck every time. No seriously, I’ve cooked duck about 20 times and only recently figured out how to cook it without burning it,serving it raw or totally killing it.
Roasted Cauliflower with Easter Egg Radishes and Pomegranate Seeds
How many times have you gone to the market during the holiday season, purchased pomegranates and then thrown them away January 1, because you can’t figure out how to cook with them? If you said, “every damn year” then welcome to the club. Pomegranates are beautiful and festive and I love pomegranate-influenced foods. The problem is I never actually make pomegranate-influenced foods. Usually they sit in a pretty bowl on my table and rot. This year it’s different.
Winter Salad of Arugula, Pomegranates and Toasted Hazelnuts
Have pomegranates and pears started popping up in your farmer’s market yet? In Atlanta, the local ingredients have shifted and so my cooking has shifted as well. I love the change in seasonal ingredients. The persimmons and squashes all sit there begging me to eat them. So I’m all like fine, I’ll eat you. Get into my belly.
I dreamed up this tasty winter salad as I roamed the aisles of our market. Mostly it’s just all the things I love, and I hope you will love it too.
How to Make Bourbon Homemade Marshmallows
Have you seen the big beautifully plump marshmallows in Williams Sonoma? They’re so pretty and festive. And they were the first clue that marshmallows didn’t have to taste sickeningly sweet. Even as a kid, they were too sweet.
It’s always very sad around campfires. I love roasting marshmallows, but I never eat them. That is until I discovered I could make homemade marshmallows. Homemade marshmallows are delicious without being overly sweet. When I realized you could flavor these tasty little treats, game over. Homemade marshmallows are my jam now, when I made these I barely had any left to take pictures of.
Curry Roasted Acorn Squash Soup
Are you looking for a fall soup recipe that isn’t butternut squash? There are so many delicious fall squashes to be enjoyed and butternut squash has been hogging all the attention! Or at the very least, trying sharing it with the pumpkin. The acorn squash isn’t the most neglected of the squashes, but it definitely isn’t getting the attention it should. So, here is my attempt at highlighting one of fall’s delicious squashes.
Sipping Chocolate for Cold Winter Nights
What do you drink on those cold winter nights? Before I knew about sipping chocolate, I always had plain old hot chocolate. I still love plain old hot chocolate, of course, but for the times I need a little more oomph, I drink sipping chocolate. Also when I want to drink a candy bar.
Spiced Orange Chocolate Doughnuts
What’s your Saturday morning ritual? Do you get up and go for a run? Sleep till noon? Nostalgically, sit in front of the tv and watch Saturday morning cartoons?
I love to get up and make Saturday morning breakfast for my family. There’s no impending pressure of work, we can take our time. We laugh, we discover new foods, and it’s an excuse to have a mimosa. For me it feels like a weekly mini-celebration of family.
Spicy Butternut Squash Soup
What’s your cozy food? When the weather is dreary and all you want to do is snuggle up inside with a good book, what do you make? I’m a cliche. When this happens, I make soup. Friday and Saturday were both kind of grey days, and we were having a few friends over Friday night. So, I, being the cliche that I am, decided to make butternut squash soup.
Maple Honey Almond Granola
Have you ever considered making your own granola? If not, WHY HAVEN’T YOU? Ask yourself, do I need more goodness in my life? Then ask yourself, do I love yummy things? Then ask yourself, do I like making other people happy?
If your answers are yes, then GREAT NEWS—I have the answer.

You don't need a culinary degree to make sophisticated food. I want to improve your food education. Sometimes I travel and wear new clothes, and I'll tell you about that, too.
