It's that time of year again. Cold weather, changing leaves, family gatherings, appreciation for all that life has given us, and of course delicious food. Since starting this blog, my family has kind of handed over the reigns in most everything involving food. First, because I am a little particular about what I put in [...]

cranberry sauce scones

I think it is a tragedy that every holiday season, globs of delicious cranberry sauce are thrown wastefully into the garbage. Cranberry sauce is one of those feast accompaniments that no one really knows what to do with once the meal is over and the leftovers are consumed. But that is all about to change. Put [...]

In our family, gravy and mash are a holiday meal staple, and this one has been a winner for years now. The cool thing is that my family can't even really tell the difference between my cauliflower  mash and the usual white potato mash. Win. This recipe makes for a mash that is thick, creamy, [...]

Earlier this month, I posted what I believed (and still believe) to be our favorite pumpkin pie. Today, I bring to you a new unique twist on that traditional favorite. I love pumpkin pie. I mean truly, deeply love it. Is that weird? So after finally coming up with a delicious pumpkin pie recipe, I [...]

paleo apple butter

By | 2022-09-06T19:21:15-08:00 November 22nd, 2014|A Little Sweet Tooth, Recipes|

This stuff is good. But don't take my word for it, just make it and see. Who doesn't love anything with butter in the name? While there isn't actually butter in this apple butter, it does provide the most delectable, buttery texture for spreading on all your favorite foods. May I suggest spreading it on pancakes, [...]

We are less than a week away from Thanksgiving! This holiday is my favorite. Yes, it's amazing because of the delicious food, football, and family. But it's more than that; I also love Thanksgiving because every November, we get to start the holiday season off with a day dedicated to celebrating and acknowledging all of life's wonders [...]

festive arugula salad

It seems like all summer long, I crave salads; it turns into a salad a day kind of season. Farmer's market is loaded with all kinds of veggies that are fresh, delicious, and just asking to be tossed in a bog bowl, dressed up nicely, and enjoyed in the sun. But what happens when the [...]

homemade cranberry sauce

When I was a kid, I always looked forward to the sweet and tart flavor of cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving dinner. In my littlest years, before I could even reach the counter, we would always go to my great aunt's house.  I have such vivid memories of the cranberry sauce adding sweet to the salty [...]
