Growing up in my house we had holidays and meals that I thought were traditional. The fresh turkey, mom's sausage and parsley stuffing, mashed potatoes corn, usually a green bean casserole, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, and almost everything was made from scratch. What else could you possibly need? Fast forward through the years, and lucky for me, I married a man who loves to cook and is really good at it. Although the first couple of holidays were honestly a bit of a gamble for me. If we hosted, I'd have to have the side comment with my siblings, as to ""Please, don't say 'Where's the sausage stuffing?'", and yes, you have to at least try the homemade squash soup he made. In every case, we were all pleasantly surprised and our bellies were always too full at the end of the day. Now one of the favorites is the cornbread stuffing that he makes. It's amazing, and there's usually not much for leftovers.

With Halloween just around the corner, everyone is in a frenzy to find the perfect pumpkin, put together an amazing costume, and make sure they have enough candy for all the trick-or-treaters. If you're planning on hosting a Halloween party, here's a fantastic board idea that's not only easy to assemble but also has a healthy (well, kind of) theme. My friend and I came up with the ingredients and had a blast creating our friend Jack. We really hope you have a great time and enjoy this spooky treat. If you give it a try or have any other ideas for the upcoming holidays, please let us know!

If you are a fan of Red Velvet Cake, get ready to have your taste buds transported to dessert heaven. These delectable treats are not for the faint of heart - they are rich, creamy, and oh-so decadent. But don't let the long list of ingredients intimidate you. Even if it seems daunting, take a leaf out of young Hunter's book and tackle this recipe like a pro. Trust me, the results will be nothing short of fantastic.

I absolutely adore summer because of the abundance of fresh produce and ingredients that allow for incredibly delicious meals. 

IT'S GONNA BE A HOT ONE!

With summer in full swing, the scorching heat can be unbearable. Imagine getting into your car only to find that your air conditioner is not working. A relaxing trip to the beach is now a nightmare, with passengers sticking their heads out the window and the driver melting before your eyes. Arriving at the office with a sweaty and sticky back and wet underarms? Yuck, not pleasant! Even the morning shower fails to provide relief from the outside and inside heat during the morning commute.

We love that making our dinner on the grill means we get to enjoy being outside and not cooped up in the kitchen. The fact that it results in fewer dishes (usually) is a big bonus. Even though we enjoy grilling, the go-to meals tend to get a little boring after a while. That’s why we love this recipe. We're changing up the flavors with the honey soy and ginger that gives it a little twist.

Summer’s here, so bring on the Barbeques and of course the sides. Oh, the sides. It seems that the bar has moved pretty high when showing up with a contribution. And yet, good old macaroni salad and potato salad always seem to be a hit.

Getting to sit down and enjoy a home-cooked dinner and not have it be an all-day investment of time makes this dish perfect for a weeknight. Its rich and creamy sauce goes perfectly with the fresh asparagus and the lemon gives it the perfect zing. We like to serve this over some skinny egg noodles, to soak up the creamy and delicious sauce. 

Even with the mild temperatures we're enjoying in February, we are not out of the woods of winter yet. The possibility of snow in our future is likely and having the proper tires in those conditions is a good idea. Luckily now through February 28, 2023, Continental is offering a $70 Visa Prepaid Card with the purchase of 4 TrueCotact Tour or PurContact LS tires!
