Slow Cooker Cheesy Sour Cream & Onion Mashed Potatoes

Three more days until Thanksgiving! (Or as my kids say, 3 more sleeps!) Mashed potatoes are a classic Thanksgiving side dish, yet there are more variations than you could probably sit down and count in one week. I am working on a church Christmas dinner and came up with a recipe for mashed potatoes that […]

Tomorrow, after you’ve eaten your Thanksgiving feast, the leftovers have been put away, and you’re cleaning everything up, DO NOT throw away those turkey bones!!

Let’s talk turkey—pièce de résistance of most Thanksgiving tables and also the one food item that has many a horror story attached to it. Do you have one? I LOVE Thanksgiving turkey, but the first time I actually had to cook one, I’ll admit that I was terrified. I think I spent the week of […]

15 more days until Thanksgiving Day here in the US! Are you ready? If you’re not, never fear! Between now and the time you sit down to begin your Thanksgiving meal I plan on sharing some ideas and recipes that will help you nail down a meal plan. It was three years ago (although it […]

Last week I pulled out the turkey carcass left over from our Thanksgiving feast and stuck it in a large stock pot, along with some yellow onion, carrots, kombu, celery, peppercorns, salt, ground black pepper, and water and let everything simmer for a good part of the day until the entire house smelled of Thanksgiving dinner […]

This post is brought to you by Davidson’s Safest Choice Eggs. I must be missing Memphis, because lately I’ve been craving all of the Southern foods I fell in love with when we lived there—collared greens, pulled pork, banana pudding . . . you name it, and I’ve been craving it. Thankfully I’ll be making […]
