A sweet and savory way to use your leftover turkey! If it doesn’t happen to be anywhere near a turkey holiday, then smoked chicken is a wonderful substitute!
The final week of a year is always full of ups and downs for me.
The excitement of New Year’s Eve and a fresh start are exhilarating, and the instant reduction of stress after Christmas is over is one of the best feelings I could ask for.
Now is the time for family and guests; for a full house, for friends, parties and caroling. It’s time for wrapping up work, prepping the house, hanging decorations and spending time with family. Now if you can balance it all out do please send me your secret. If you are like me though, you are feeling more than a little behind and more than a little exhausted. Trying to fill the days with cheer and merriment can certainly wear a girl out! Feeding all of those guests and family members certainly can do you in as well. The key of course is managing expectations, giving your self a little grace and some help in the kitchen. Now the first two items I can’t help with but the third, readers, I have you covered.
Hi everyone! I’m Erica from The Crumby Cupcake, My Cooking Spot’s newest contributor! I’m super excited to be here to share with you some of my best and favorite recipes, starting with these Pumpkin Spiced Sweet Potato Fries with Caramel Marshmallow Dipping Sauce!
Warm bread. Isn’t it perfect? The way it fills your whole house with its delicious yeasty smell, the crunch of the crust with the fluffy soft center, toasted to perfection and served with pumpkin butter spread on top; divine!
As the weather starts to turn, I crave the warm goodness of fresh baked bread almost more than a glass of red wine… almost. The only problem is; bread is complicated, difficult, has a big margin for error, and takes time, care, and love. I mean wouldn’t it be grand if you could pop open a cold beer, stir it into some mix and have fresh bread in under an hour?
