    Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts with Tangy BBQ Sauce These bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts with Tangy BBQ Sauce are a long time childhood memory for me. My Aunt Carol would make them for family parties and I remember thinking they were so exotic and gourmet when I was a kid. The crunch of the water chestnut and crispy bacon are the perfect texture for the tangy bbq sauce you quickly make in a saucepan with ketchup, brown sugar, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. All of this bakes up into a delicious appetizer that will be the hit of every party. The full,…

  • Checking The Accuracy Of Your Oven Temperature

    November 16, 2022thetipsyhousewife

    Checking The Accuracy Of Your Oven Temperature It’s turkey time and it is always the time of year that I ask my readers about checking the accuracy of your oven temperature. This is something a lot of people never think to do. It is very important because an oven that under heats or over heats, can ruin the recipe you are trying to make. This is especially important when it comes to making your Thanksgiving Turkey and Thanksgiving sides. A poorly temping oven can produce a dried out or undercooked bird. Do not panic, I am here to tell you…

    Butter Stuffing This Butter Stuffing recipe is going to be your family’s new Holiday Tradition. Made with butter, onions, celery and a plethora of herbs and seasonings, this stuffing hits all the right notes. Crispy bits on the top and sides and tender soft butter soaked bites throughout. You can use this stuffing inside the bird, or baked in a casserole dish which is how I prefer. Years ago I created The World’s Best Stuffing Recipe, but I think I dare to deem this recipe The Best Stuffing In The Universe. Both stuffing recipes are equally delicious, and somewhat similar,…

    Chalet Appetizers I first came across these Chalet Appetizers on a tik tok account that I love to follow. The ingredients are so simple and you can make a lot of these for very little cost. What appealed to me in this recipe was the Worcestershire sauce. I used a lot of the Worcestershire, which my Mom did not like, but I did. The good news is, you can adjust the seasoning to your liking. I love the addition of the grated onion to this recipe as well. My recipe calls for Parmesan cheese, but you can really swap any…

    Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad is a great party salad and also an easy, delicious lunch option. I have been making this Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad for years.

I sometimes add chopped rotisserie chicken meat to this…
