November…already??
Are you hosting Thanksgiving? Maybe bringing a dish?
Our Thanksgiving plans are still being determined, but no matter what we do or where we are, we will be cooking up something!
My husband and son both love to cook, and so do I, but I am happy to turn over the kitchen to them any time! I usually concentrate on the side dishes and desserts and let them fight over the grill…
Here’s an embarrassing fact, between our 2 houses, we have 11 grills…yep, 11 😳
Needless to say, my oven hasn’t seen a turkey in a long time…
The flavor of the month for November is Pecan
To me pecans are kinda like bacon, they make everything better! But if you’re not a fan, I will make sure the recipes I feature will work without

Here’s what I made from the October Paint Bucket
The flavor of the month was Pumpkin

It can be topped with maple syrup or an egg for a unique brunch dish
Brussels Sprouts & Bacon Gratin is perfect for fall and holiday dining and was featured at Miz Helen’s Country Cottage, Full Plate Thursday
Pepperoni & Pineapple Biscuit Bubble Up jumped into the slow cooker for a super easy way to cook and serve this pizza like pull apart for game day snacking
Broccoli Casserole Dip from Delish turned into Broccoli & Cheese Dip or Spread, perfect for game day or a holiday appetizer

And the leftovers went into this bonus dish, Corny Biscuit Bake
