There’s something to be said about a solidly delicious pie after Thanksgiving dinner. It’s classic and comforting. Seeing as I’m not a pumpkin girl, I decided to go with an apple pie. I hear it’s American or something. Well, I American’d it up some more by adding some bourbon caramel to it. (Any excuse, right?) It’s…
You might be inclined to think I’m posting a baked bean recipe because the Fourth of July is near. You might be right. But only kinda. These baked beans are a family tradition, and not just for summer. My family has them for every holiday imaginable. Yes, we eat baked beans for Thanksgiving. And now…
I know this is the time of year that all of the blogs are like, HERE’S WHAT YOU DO WITH THANKSGIVING LEFTOVERS. And it’s like, turkey cranberry sandwich. Or turkey salad. Or some crap like that. Well guess what! I’m no different: Hey guys, I have this great idea of what to do with Thanksgiving…
John Hughes. Genius voice of a generation. (Not Kanye.) He made two of the most quintessential holiday movies of our annual repertoire. Planes, Trains and Automobiles for Thanksgiving and Home Alone for Christmas. I watch them every year, and chances are, you do too. I’ve already put in Planes, Trains and Automobiles this year. And…
I have a knack for taking awesome healthy ingredients and making them taste good. Don’t be confused, they are no longer healthy when I am done with them. This dish is freaking amazing. It makes a lot and I didn’t get sick of eating it all week. I took a nice, healthy spaghetti squash and…
If you’ve looked through Bacon & Legs, you’ll have noticed that one of the things I love doing is making grilled cheese sandwiches. They have a special place in my heart, right there in that one artery, clogging it up. And I never want to stop making them. But you can’t just make the same…
When I was 10 years old, I knew I was “big city”-bound. My whole life I grew up in rural Ohio. Going to the Toledo Museum of Art or the Toledo Zoo was a big deal to me. I would visit places, and was determined to move to Chicago or New York. When I was…
I really love pumpkin bread and pumpkin muffins. They are pretty decent, yeah? But do you know what makes them orgasmic? Adding chocolate chips. Seriously, try it. Don’t even get fancy about it. Go to Trader Joe’s, buy a box of the pumpkin bread mix and when you make it, dump in half a bag…
I know the internet has it’s panties in a bunch about America’s pumpkin spice invasion. Is there an increasingly excessive amount of pumpkin spice products on the market each fall? Hell yes there are. But guess what… and brace yourself, because you won’t believe this… you don’t have to buy them. But you do have…
If you know me personally or follow me on social media, you know that one of my favorite places on Earth is a little place called Tired Hand Brewing Company, a brewery just outside of Philadelphia. If you live in the area or are visiting, you must make the trip out. They brew intriguing beers…
