For Shame For Shame
Parenting, one of the toughest jobs you will ever have. There is no handbook or Dial A Parenting Coach Hotline, and you will undoubtedly do things wrong a gazillion times. Wonderful thing is, you will also do a lot of things right. The right things will not receive near the attention nor get the kudos deserved but let someone catch wind of something that is wrong in their eyes and let the Parent Shaming begin! I’ve even had perfect strangers threaten to kidnap my infant daughter because I happened to have her in a car-seat in her stroller (asleep) rather than in my arms, while I was in a checkout…

Perfect Cut-Out Cookie Dough!
“Some of the links below are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase” I use this recipe for almost all my cut-out cookies. The texture is perfect and the cookies hold their shape perfectly. I change out the extracts for a variety of flavor and decorate with glaze, a simple buttercream or sanding sugar. I have a Cuisinart Stand Mixer that I love and use religiously. If you don’t have one I highly recommend. There are a ton of attachments that you can purchase separately that are too fun to not add to your kitchen…

It is pre-seasoned and ready for immediate use. I love cooking with cast-iron. It…

Bourbon Pecan Pie
I absolutely love Pecan Pie and it is a huge hit in my house. Add bourbon of course and it is even better! You can always omit the bourbon of course but it’s the holidays so why not!
Bourbon Whipped Cream
Pair this wonderful whipped cream with your pies! I don’t have a specific bourbon I cook with but there are so many local distilleries these days why not support one of them! Enjoy y’all!
Deviled Eggs
Deviled eggs are a must and I tend to make a crazy amount because they don’t make it to the table if I don’t! Again super easy and can make ahead. Recipe is for a dozen but you can definitely make more!
Corn Casserole
Super easy and a great side dish! There are a ton of variations out there but I like to keep mine simple.
