This page may contain affiliate links, see full disclosure here. Today we are talking all things sausage!! The turkey can’t get all the glory. So I am sharing two of my favorite dishes for Thanksgiving – my sausage cornbread dressing and sausage stuffed mushrooms. They are sure to please your hungry guests! Are you a stuffing or dressing lover? I wasn’t really either until I met my husband. His Mom makes THE best cornbread dressing! I try to replicate it, but it just isn’t the same. So I have come up with my own couple versions. I do a very simple cornbread dressing and then I also jazz it up from time to time with a sausage dressing. SAUSAGE CORNBREAD DRESSING This recipe is super simple and easy. I use just the store bought cornbread. Then for the sausage I use my go-to, Crowd Cow, their sweet Italian sausage has just the right blend of herbs and spices. Alright so we are going to start with the cornbread. You can make your own but I use the good ole 52 cent brand! 😉 Make according to directions. Then add in your spices – sage, rosemary, salt and a pinch of […]

Sweet Pecan Pie and No Bake Apple Pie Cheesecake

November 10, 2021 3 Comments

This page may contain affiliate links, see full disclosure here. I love Thanksgiving dinner. It is one of my favorite meals of the year. My family keeps it pretty traditional. Over the years we all have all fallen into our “designated” contributions. And one of mine is pies! I mean prolly the best part of the meal! 😉 So today I will be sharing two of my favorite Thanksgiving desserts: my sweet pecan pie and no bake apple pie cheesecake. The pecan pie is a staple. It’s taken me YEARS to perfect! My brother-in-law is my ultimate tester. He gives me good feedback every year. Then I like to mix it up for the rest of the pies. Sometimes I do pumpkin pie, I think I made chocolate cream pie last year. This year I decided to reintroduce my no bake apple pie cheesecake. I tried a ton of pecan pie recipes. For me it’s finding the right consistency on the “guts” or inside of the pie – not too runny but overcooked. But I have finally settled on a recipe that I have used over the last few years. The taste is spot on and the consistency is right […]

Getting Your Table Thanksgiving Ready

November 10, 2018 No Comments

This page may contain affiliate links, see full disclosure here. I love the holidays! Especially Thanksgiving. I basically love any time that I can decorate my table. I prefer a traditional setting with beautiful plates, wine glasses and tons of candles. Now I know most do not and frankly find it overwhelming. Especially when you are the host in charge of guests, turkey, pies and NOW you need a fancy table?!! Fear not you don’t! I have created two very simple tablescapes that are sure to wow your guests and keep you underwhelmed and help you get your table Thanksgiving ready! I like to mix my flowers and plants – some fake, some real. You don’t have to go wild and spend a ton of money of fresh flowers. For this first look I used some goodies from my yard. I have a Magnolia tree that I frequently cut leaves from. Makes a perfect filler for your vases, tables and wreaths. And they last a long time even out of water. I also used some Purple Fountain Grass. Again straight from my yard. It adds a perfect fun “fall feel”. Then sprinkled the table with some bright and cheery sunflowers…fake […]
