Thanksgiving 2019 is nigh!! I don’t understand how this year is almost over, but then again, I also don’t know how I developed so many wrinkles, so there’s that. This post was written in partnership with Kuhlman Cellars. All thoughts and opinions are solely my own. Along with crow’s feet and Thanksgiving comes the ramp…

Five Cheese Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Why serve a boring mac and cheese dish this holiday when a five cheese macaroni and cheese is just as easy to make? This version is not only make-ahead friendly, but freezer-friendly to make holiday meal prep a breeze.
Baklava: Nut-Filled, Pumpkin-Spiced, Quick and Easy
I always make sure I have the ingredients on hand to make a quick dessert for the holidays. The last thing I want to wrestle with is some intricate recipe for something that follows the main event.

Coquito: Puerto Rican Coconut-Cinnamon Rum Cocktail
Before we go any further with this Coquito post, I want to remind you that I’m a married woman. I’m won’t tolerate any disrespect to the Soldier. So, that means no marriage proposals, no sending flowers (especially orchids or lilies), and no diamond rings in size seven. I won’t stand for it. Pontificate on how much of…
Country Style Collard Greens in the Slow Cooker
I’m going to give it to you straight- I, honestly, have no idea what makes these greens “Country Style”. Most of my childhood was set in suburban/inner-city areas. But, when I think of “Country Style” food I think of food that is slow-cooked, wholesome, and tastes of love. As such, I think my slow cooker…
