Well, there was one person who read my post the other day and saw in my picture that we celebrated Thanksgiving this weekend. My daughter is dancing at Oireachtas (regional competitions for Irish dancing) and it is held over Thanksgiving weekend. We decided that there was no way that with the both kids having school…

Marshmallow Pecan Streusel Sweet Potato Casserole
When we have a bit of extra time I love to make a big dinner fancy dinner for my family. Not only is it fun for us but I plan ahead and get lots of leftover meat for a meal later and the freezer! They had hams on sale a few weeks ago, a great…
Thanksgiving Day
Over the years my Thanksgiving Day has changed in many ways. When I was young Thanksgiving Day was always my mother, father, brother, grandma and myself around the table. This was what we jokingly called a “large” family gathering for us. There was always the traditional dishes- turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn, rolls and salad….

Chicken, Green Bean and Stuffing Casserole (no creamed soups!)
Casseroles never photograph well, unless they are whole. But, boy do they taste great. I think it is the whole comfort food thing that we are all seeking right now. My entire family has been fighting a cold for about two weeks now. No one has been horribly sick but everyone is just feeling blah….

Happy Thanksgiving!
No, my calendar has not lost a few days. We decided to celebrate with our traditional Thanksgiving dinner a bit ahead of time this year so that when Thanksgiving day rolls around we can spend the day together doing all the things we really are thankful for on that day. We plan on reading, listening…

Real Pumpkin Pie
Most real (not canned even if is says real pumpkin) pie recipes I found recommended using Pie Pumpkins or Sugar Pumpkins for baking. I didn’t have either one of those. I had an 8 lb. Halloween pumpkin that my children did not carve this year. I follow the Tim Gunn motto of life, “Make it…
Slow Cooker Cranberry Sauce
This had to be the easiest side dish I have ever made. The most amazing part was that I could make it two days ahead of time and it was ready to serve at our Thanksgiving dinner. I even bought canned cranberry sauce because I was afraid my children wouldn’t like this. I was wrong. …
Thanksgiving Dinner – Green Beans with Brown Butter and Toasted Pecans
I haven’t posted over the last few days as we have been out-of-town. The day after Thanksgiving we left to head back home to visit family and for my daughter to get her braces off! We were so excited by the last part. No more 550 mile, each way, trips every 6-8 weeks. A huge…
