Leftover Turkey Vegetable Chili

Smoky chipotle chili filled with leftover turkey and vegetables. This spicy leftover turkey vegetable chili is delicious and the perfect dish for after Thanksgiving.

Omg! There’s just two more days until Thanksgiving, and I feel like there’s still so much to do. I went grocery shopping over the weekend to try to avoid the crowds and ridiculously long lines, but it was unavoidable. Plus, some of the ingredients I’m looking for are already out of stock. So even though I tried to get ahead with my shopping list, I have no choice but to go back out there and pick up a few more items.

We’re thinking this year we want the usual mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, garlic bread, pumpkin pie, brownies. But this year, we’re also adding my honey pear pie, my green bean casserole, and my roasted brussels sprouts. What will you be serving at your Thanksgiving table this year?

Honey Pear Pie

A double crusted pie filled with sweet pears and caramelized honey. This delicious honey pear pie embodies the warm flavors of fall.

This pie <3

I’ve been thinking about this pie for awhile now. For many different reasons.

When most of us think about fall desserts, our first thoughts are of pumpkin and apples and even cranberries. Pears seem to be forgotten. And it seems like such a shame, especially since pears have the most amazing flavors and texture when baked.

For this pie, I wanted to keep it simple so that the flavor of pear can stand out on its own. I love the crispness of fresh pears baked in a buttery crust, the caramelized honey bubbling through the weave of the lattice top, the crunch of the coarse sugar sprinkled on top of the crust. What is there not to love?

My sister and I went to the Museum of Ice Cream the other day. We were both so excited since we heard so much about it prior to going. As fun as it was, I kind of expected more from it. Probably because of all the hype.

But here are some photos from the Museum of Ice Cream. We got to try different types of ice cream and got a brain freeze. I think my favorite was the sprinkle pool. I found sprinkles in my pockets, socks, and everywhere possible.

Favorite Thanksgiving Dishes 2017

Less than a week left until Thanksgiving, and there’s still so much planning to do. It just really hit me yesterday that Thanksgiving is next week. That means I’m going to have to start shopping for ingredients because I promised myself I’m going to try to stay ahead this year. I don’t want to have to run to the local supermarket for that one ingredient that I’m missing, which seems to happen every year. Somehow we always end up waiting in a super long line for that one ingredient we forgot.

I thought I’d share with you a few of my favorite Thanksgiving dishes in case you still need ideas. =)

Creamy Pumpkin Maple Steel Cut Oatmeal

Steel cut oatmeal cooked with pumpkin puree and sweetened with maple syrup. This creamy pumpkin maple steel cut oatmeal is the perfect fall breakfast.

You guys! Only another week and a half until Thanksgiving. I’m part excited, part sad, and part not ready! I’m always saying that time goes by too fast, but November goes by extra fast. I sometimes wish I had more time or at the very least, find a way to slow down time so that I can savor the short fall season just a little longer.

This week, one of my sisters and I are going to the Museum of Ice Cream! I am ridiculously excited for it. It was so difficult to get tickets. And I hope that I won’t be disappointed by all the hype that has been surrounding this event. Has anyone been?

I’ll share photos after I’ve gone, but in the mean time, let’s talk about this creamy pumpkin maple steel cut oatmeal. Oh, and don’t forget we’re still celebrating 4 years with a giveaway. Enter for a chance to win.

You guys, just two more weeks until Thanksgiving! Seriously, can you believe it? Time seems to move so fast once we hit November.

Since we’re nearing the big day, we’re going to keep talking about Thanksgiving dishes. Like this classic green bean casserole. I have to say that it’s my favorite Thanksgiving side this year! I may, or may not, have been eating this dish since late summer….

Brussels sprouts tossed with creole seasoning then roasted with bacon and garlic. These roasted garlic brussels sprouts with bacon are soo delicious and perfect as a side.

I’m soo excited that Thanksgiving is just around the corner!

I’ve been planning our Thanksgiving menu for awhile now. Nothing official. Just throwing out ideas so we can figure out a list of things to buy when it gets closer. That way when we do the actual cooking on Thanksgiving Day, we won’t have to run out last minute to the grocery store to buy that one item that we forgot.

Apple Cobbler à la Mode + a Giveaway

Buttery biscuits baked over a delicious cinnamony apple filling. This apple cobbler à la mode is the perfect dessert for fall served with your favorite ice cream.

Omg! Guess what?! Guess!

Today officially marks the fourth year since this blog started!

Can you believe it?! Time goes by so fast!

So of course, we have to celebrate with dessert. Again!

Last year, it was with these apple cider doughnuts with maple glaze. And the year before that, we celebrated with mason jar lid apple crumble. And this year, we’re celebrating with this apple cobbler à la mode. Because as amazing as any dessert is, it’s even better with ice cream. But… Are you seeing a pattern?

I swear, it’s not on purpose! Lol. But somehow, apples have been the theme each year.

If you’ve been to San Francisco, you know that our city is full of hills. Some of them are so ridiculously steep. But it’s on those steep hills that you get the most amazing views of the city. This is San Francisco at sunrise on a clear morning.
