Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and before you know it, you’ll be staring at all the leftover turkey and side dishes. Some people actually make extra food for Thanksgiving hoping for leftovers. I usually make just enough food to have leftovers for one or two more meals. As I’ve shared in the past, one of the things [...]

I can’t believe Thanksgiving is this week! With a power outage lasting 8 days after Hurricane Sandy, I feel like I lost a week and have been busy trying to catch up with work and home, and fixing all the things that broke due to the hurricane. There are still so many people that are [...]

The weekend right before before Hurricane Sandy hit, my husband and I took a trip up to Mohegan Sun with two other couples to celebrate a few big birthdays (ahem, me included), and a big anniversary (my hubby and I just celebrated our 25th anniversary!). Meatloaf was playing (now I’m really showing my age) and [...]

Today, I’m participating in my very first Google+ Hangout! I’ve been a passive participant a few times, watching others in their hangouts, but I’ve never actually been an active participant in a Google+ hangout, so when my friend Lexie from Lexie’s Kitchen asked if I’d join her and few other ladies, I said sure! The [...]

Today, I have a “twofer” for you – that’s right! Today is World Diabetes Day and it is Food Network’s Thanksgiving Communal Table feast! When my friend Carolyn of All Day I Dream About Food asked if I would help raise awareness bout diabetes, I immediately said “yes!” You see, diabetes is one of the top [...]

Last winter, my sister forwarded me an article from NPR featuring gluten-free desserts, and I’ve kept it tucked in my pile of recipes to try. One of the recipes caught my eye in particular – the Gluten-Free Pear Apple Crisp. Every fall, I make Apple Crisp and it’s one of my family’s traditions as a [...]

If you celebrated Thanksgiving today, you probably have some leftover turkey (unless you were lucky enough to be invited over to someone else’s house or ate at a restaurant). As soon as everyone was done eating their Thanksgiving meal and dishes were cleared, I put a big pot of Turkey Stock on the stove and [...]

This is a big week for Americans celebrating Thanksgiving. Although turkey is traditionally served as the main course, it’s likely that many of you will have at least one guest who is vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free. When I entertain, I like everyone to feel included and to have plenty of food to eat. I want [...]

Pumpkin Pie, along with Apple Crisp, are our family’s traditional desserts for Thanksgiving each year. Sometimes I offer to mix things up, but as many of you can probably relate, Thanksgiving is not the time to mess around with tradition in some households. This year, however, I was forced to make a few changes to [...]

Today, I am sharing my collection of gluten-free and dairy-free Thanksgiving recipes that I have accumulated this past year. I can’t believe how quickly Thanksgiving has crept up on us. This time of year always seems to go at warp speed. This is our family’s first gluten-free (and dairy-free) Thanksgiving. It’s almost been one year [...]
