French Onion Soup Pizzas,

an oldie but a goodie from the archives,

perfect for appetizers or a side with soup or salad

Creamy Butternut Squash Pasta with Sausage and Spinach

easy to make comfort food that is family friendly,

but special enough for a party

was the inspiration for

but it’s a super easy recipe for busy days or holiday gatherings

Happy Cooking!

    A delicious month ahead Jenna! I picked up two bags of cranberries from Publix last week. 🙂 Happy Halloween. ♥

  5. Jenna, November is jam packed with flavorful food and recipes. The cranberry pistachio shortbread sounds delicious.

    Where did October go?

    No sooner do I get used to it being October, that it’s November! It is terrifying how fast the time flies. I have started working on my Thanksgiving menu, even though my crowd will be small. I found a recipe for cranberry sauce that combines cranberries and blackberries, so I’m going to try that this year.

  8. Nancy says:

    Looking forward to this month… looks like all kinds of yumminess! I’m thankful for all your inspiration!
    Enjoy this last day of October!

    Lots of good food suggestions today. I’m especially tempted by the peanut butter blondes as I love anything with PB! Happy November.

  12. No arguments with anything on this list! I just bought cranberries, too — one super-sized bag! One of my fave things at this time of year.
