As I have done in years past, I take the dark meat from a whole turkey and make it into a stew. Usually I cook the breast portion for Thanksgiving. This year, I didn't get the chance because I was too busy. However, I did find a low sodium whole turkey that I am cooking [...]
Every year, I make homemade Ginger Snaps for the pumpkin pie crust for some of the pie. Tony loves these and so do I. They are spicy and delicious. Better than anything you can get in a box. I am starting with the America's Test Kitchen recipe for Whole Grain Ginger Snaps. If you like [...]
Can you believe it? I still have beets to use up. Going through this journey of beet recipes, I am very surprised at what a beet can be used in. This recipe I am modifying is a Sri Lanken Beetroot Curry from the Flavor Blender. Who would have thought of using a beet in a [...]
I'm finally getting around to doing a pumpkin dessert recipe. It wouldn't be fall without at least one. I love pumpkin pie as much as the rest of you, but I save that for Thanksgiving. I also know there are more sweets made with pumpkin than just pie. I found a really interesting recipe from [...]
I never thought I would ever be using beets in a chili. It's one of those ingredients that doesn't scream "chili" to me. No matter. I still have extra beets to use up and am game for something new. I am starting with a recipe from Wholesome Family Living for Superfood Chili. This chili recipe [...]
Here we go again with another beet recipe. It is true, I hate to waste food. While Tony was sick, he planned to juice these. The juice upset his stomach. The soup I made with some of these beets was a hit. Now, I'm going to make a cake. I love to find new ways [...]
Tony is going to stay on the soup thing for a while. I have some more beets to use up. He tried to go back on the beet juice kick when he wasn't able to eat anything solid. It wasn't pretty. So, this recipe is more about being creative with the ingredients I have on [...]
This recipe came from a want to try a new ingredient. Recently I bought a sugar free sweetened condensed milk from Mrs. Taste (link is not sponsored). I have also been wanting to do a sugar free version of pecan pie. Pecan pie is one of those desserts that I don't eat because it is [...]
I was going to do another recipe this week, but I realized I did something I do quite often. I adapted my own recipe. The original recipe was for Turkey, Split Pea and Broccoli Soup. Tony had a wisdom tooth taken out last week and wanted something that was soft and flavorful to eat. He [...]
With the beets I have left, I made my savory dish. The Borscht was AMAZING. Now I am trying out something sweet. I found out you can make brownies with this red root vegetable. I'm all for that. I am starting with a recipe from Vegaterianized for their Dark Chocolate Beet Brownies. They describe them [...]
