When you get the

stamp of approval from the waffle maker company themselves, you know you’re doing it right.

If you like to cook eggs or anything with cheese on your mini @bydash you know things get messy really fast.

I’ve found that by simply dampening a few paper towels, placing them in the waffle maker and letting it steam clean works best.

I gently use a fork to get in the grooves, then once it’s cooled down, I’m ready to put it away.

Do you have a mini waffle maker? I find two to be super helpful!

It would be safe to say that you will not

regret making extra everything this Thanksgiving.

A little extra stuffing, a slightly bigger bird, and save some cranberry sauce.

I’ve converted everyone who has had my Thanksgiving Leftover Sliders into leftover believers. *Full recipe on my website!

These cannot be beat by any other version of a leftover sandwich out there. Yes, others are really good just not as satisfying as these the next day.

*Pro tip: Dip these in hot leftover gravy. Then thank me later.

This is not what you think it’s going to be.

I made this stuffed pumpkin for my Bunco Witches night. To be honest, I didn’t many would like it, but it’s one of my favorite fall dishes and it makes a lot.

It was the most requested recipe of the night!

I was introduced to it years ago when my best friend invited us over for dinner. They found the recipe on Epicurious and their family loved it.

My version isn’t much different, but I’ve made a few tweaks.

This could be the perfect side for your Thanksgiving meal or a simple candlelit Sunday dinner.

*Recipe is on mynameissnickerdoodle. com.

If you haven’t ever

set up a little drink station for the holidays, this is your year to start!

Last year I just recycled my favorite jam jars from @bonnemaman_us and collected some objects I had in my Christmas stash.

This way it’s part of the kitchen decor and I have it all set up and ready to go.

It’s perfect and ready to go for when the kids get home from school on a cold day, if company stops by or I just need something warm on a Tuesday morning.

If you need a link to a great electric kettle just send me a message!

I am sure you have strong feelings and opinions about

what time you start eating the Thanksgiving meal.

Me personally?

3:00 is optimal and here’s my reasoning.

If you eat too late then there’s not enough time after dessert to have second dinner and relive that wondrous meal over again on Thanksgiving Day. (Leftovers are a whole other topic!)

But if you eat too early you put too much pressure on the cook (aka me) and we feel too rushed and don’t really get to enjoy the day.

Thoughts?

*Btw, find how to make this adorable Christmas Tree Cheese and Cracker Tray on my s i t e.

I couldn’t believe anyone would ever

like peppermint when I was a little kid.

It wasn’t a flavor that I liked until I was way older.

It seemed like an “old persons” candy.

Along with black licorice! Don’t even start to try to convince me that’s good.

Over the years I’ve learned to really love peppermint anything especially around the holidays.

On my mobile site these Peppermint Smores are made Graham crackers and those fun square marshmallows. I wanted to try these with vanilla creme cookies and the fun Jumbo marshmallows. Everything else is the same so follow those instructions and make the ones you like best!

*Okay, I am dying to know if you even like black licorice? Will our friendship make it through if you say yes?!?! 😉

I don’t know if your like me, but I don’t like

eating Rosemary.

The taste is phenomenal, but the actual woody part I’m not a fan of.

I like to steep the entire stem in whatever I’m making and then remove it before serving.

Garlic Rosemary Mashed Potatoes?
Steep the fresh rosemary in some milk and butter before adding it to the boiled potatoes and you still get all the flavor. More actually.

Classic Holiday Dressing?
Steep it in your chicken or turkey stock then remove it before pouring over the dried bread cubes and other herbs.

This freezing trick works like a charm, still tastes just as fresh and is much better than dried herbs in most cases.

What else would you

add to the list?

I just got my turkey today along with all of these items.

They are so hard to find the week before Thanksgiving so help your future self out and shop a little here, a little there for your menu.

And you have my full permission to send this to that person in your life who might need the hint or thinks one box of butter will do!

I’ll let you in on a secret.

I’m posting this Spinach Almond Salad for two reasons.

1. It’s my favorite salad of all time.

2. My IG feed was starting to look a little brown so I’m adding a bit of color.

Save this and make it on repeat!

If there’s one thing you wish you could

eat right now, what would it be?

Me?

A French Dip from Bazille along side their Parmesan Truffle Fries with Kalamata Aoli.

Second runner up would be these Chicken Taquitos. It’s the one recipe on my site I actually make the most.

Save this because you’re going to need some easy dinners once the holidays really hit!

When I asked you

what your Christmas morning breakfast looked like, the majority said some sort of yummy breakfast casserole situation.

Partly because it can be made the night before and popped into the oven between stockings and opening presents.

Guess what?

This Donut Christmas Tree can be made ahead and be ready to eat in no time at all Christmas morning!

Simply leave off the rosemary and powdered sugar, wrap snuggly in plastic wrap, and you’re good to go.

The hardest part is to keep your family from sneaking a donut hole or two before breakfast time!

Check out what a powdered donut hole version looks like on my s i t e.
