Thanks so much – enjoy!
All of these look fantastic! I really need to make your cranberry blueberry sauce. The hubby and I would not
stop eating it!
Hello! I am wondering, if I can substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth in your classic Stuffing recipe? We have vegetarians in our family. Thank you so much! I use your recipes weekly! Leslie
Yes – no problem, I have made it with both veg or chicken broth and it’s great either way. Enjoy!
Thank you so much for posting this! Like Debbi, I have also made the Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes. I’ve also made the Cream Cheese Filled Pumpkin Bread. I’d love to make the Honey Butter Pumpkin Dinner Rolls for this year’s Thanksgiving Dinner. Can’t wait!
Thanks for letting me know you’ve tried multiple recipes! That’s great to hear and if you try the rolls or anything else, LMK how it goes!
Still waiting for that life changing cranberry sauce…this one with blueberries and Cabernet just might do it. I’m really a jellied in the can kinda gal! lol. I love cranberries in all forms, but have yet to find a whole berry sauce I want to eat by itself. I’m all for adding blueberries and wine…shake!
this one with blueberries and Cabernet just might do it <---I really think it will! Honestly it's a life changing sauce for me. While I've never minded cranberry sauce, I wouldn't say oh wow I am so excited by it. Until I came up with this recipe. Please LMK if you try it!
I have made the Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Honey Cinnamon Dip a number of times….it is delicious!
Thanks for trying the sweet potato recipe and I’m glad it’s a favorite for you!
They all look wonderful–I think the sweet potato casserole would make a great dessert. Or breakfast.
Breakfast, dessert, snack, or side dish – perfect for all!
I am known as the salad lady for family get togethers and holidays with Jon’s family. I think everyone would enjoy the cranberry-apple-blue cheese salad this year–it’s one of my favorite combinations!!
What a cute name! Love that you’re known as the Salad Lady! I hope you all enjoy this salad!
