It’s a great day for a holiday, don’t you think?

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my fellow Americans! Today is one of my favorite holidays as a foodie, for obvious reasons – it’s all about eating!! I love taking a classic recipe and getting creative with it – putting my own spin on it, and really making it my own. I can’t wait to be able to share those kinds of recipes with my future kids and grandkids, and maybe one day in the future, they’ll call my recipes classics.

Of course, Thanksgiving is an all-day event, spent mostly in the kitchen and over the stove. But before you toss that turkey in your oven, why not treat your family to an equally impressive breakfast? This Kielbasa Breakfast Hash is easy, filling, and delicious, and will take no more than 30 minutes to make, giving you that much more time to prep for your big dinner! [Read more…]

You can make this gluten-free chicken noodle soup in less than 30 minutes! So good! Mom win!

There’s something about this time of year where warm fireplaces and comfort food seem to prevail. One of my favorites for fall is a healthy and hearty soup.

My favorite soup growing up was chicken and stars so today I thought I’d elevate that to a healthy and gluten-free chicken noodle soup. I love that this recipe is so simple and only uses one pot. Plus, you can get it to the table in under 30 minutes! (That’s what I call a mom-win!)

Cranberry Pistachio Cheese Ball

Cranberry Pistachio Cheese Ball - a perfect holiday appetizer | Get the recipe on MyCookingSpot.com!

Thanksgiving is probably the only holiday I can think of where appetizers are never really needed.

I mean, think about it. If you’re part of the Feast Cooking Team, you’re “tasting” all day, to the point where you can barely eat a full plate come dinner time. And, if you’re on the Football & Beer Crew, you’re most likely sneaking in the kitchen during refills and swiping any bites you can, leaving no need for a table of nibbles to keep you satisfied until dinner is ready.

In the case of this Cranberry Pistachio Cheese Ball, though…you may want to just have it in the kitchen to curb your turkey- or yam-snacking. I promise, you’ll still be hungry for stuffing later!
