Duchess Potatoes I learned to make Duchess Potatoes years ago when I worked at a questionable banquet hall. The food was delicious, the ownership of the hall was what was questionable, These potatoes are a cross between mashed potatoes and double baked potatoes but MUCH easier to make than double baked potatoes. They look pretty and they are super fun to eat. Duchess Potatoes are also a great way to make something typical look super special without having to spend a lot of money. The full and printable recipe is below I will just share a couple of tips. Piping…

Continue ReadingMushroom Pan Gravy If you’re looking for a simple pan gravy, this is the recipe for you. This recipe yields about 2 to 3 cups of gravy. You can double the recipe if you need more. I love using the Better Than Bouillon for this recipe. This is a basic gravy that I make from pan drippings when I make a variety or proteins, but I also have instructions for using this recipe for Thanksgiving. You can omit the mushrooms from this recipe if you do not like them. Be sure to add those turkey drippings to this recipe for…

My Aunt Carol would make them for family parties and I remember thinking they were so exotic and gourmet when I was a kid.

All of this bakes up into a delicious appetizer that will be the hit of every party. The full,…

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…

Continue ReadingButter 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,…

Continue ReadingChalet 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…
