Holiday-Thanksgiving

crunchy turkey swiss wrap

I’ve received so many requests for my Crunchy Ham Wrap recipe these past couple weeks that I decided to create a new crunch wrap.

thanksgiving leftovers soup

pumpkin patch turkey chili

Here’s a recipe for an incredibly delicious, easy and healthy chili. It features pumpkin (lots of pumpkin) but once everything is mixed in you don’t really notice an overpowering, pumpkin-y flavor. If you’re serving people who claim to not like pumpkin, don’t even bother telling them it’s in there. This is a good “fake out”…

slow cooker mac & cheese bar

This is such a fun, easy, fairly inexpensive idea for an intimate autumn gathering. Last night we hosted a little dinner party and this macaroni and cheese bar was the star of the show.
