Pumpkin Pecan Waffles and a 1940s Thanksgiving Side
|
Hi friends! It’s fall break for me this week, and I’ve been trying to catch up on everything I let slide. I've been cleaning out the basement and donating some toys, clearing off the table, and tackling a long list of blog projects I have been putting off. It feels good to cross some things off for once! Here’s what’s new this week: 🍠 Candied Sweet Potatoes I gave this recipe a little refresh with new photos and some extra tips. Crispy edges, warm pumpkin spice, and toasted pecans in every bite. Perfect for a slow weekend breakfast or a cozy holiday morning. Thank you so much for sticking with me. I know your inbox is busy, and it means the world that you keep opening these emails and trying my recipes. You’re the reason I keep digging through these old cookbooks! Now I want to know: are you on Team Marshmallow or Team No Marshmallow when it comes to sweet potatoes? Hit reply and tell me. I read every one! Warmly, |

Hi friends! 👋 I’m so tired this morning. Last night I helped out in the green room at my daughter’s show, and wow. Costume changes, bobby pins everywhere, and a whole lot of nervous energy packed into one small room. It was chaotic and loud, and I loved every minute of it. Watching her up on that stage made it all worth it! But my feet are still recovering, so today is a coffee and pajamas kind of Sunday. It’s also a menu planning kind of Sunday. Can you believe Thanksgiving is less than...
Hi friends! It’s been a busy week at our house! My daughter has rehearsals all week for her musical, so our whole family is running on a musical theater schedule right now. I love seeing how hard she’s working, and I can’t wait to see it all come together on stage! Here’s what’s new this week: 🍎 Waldorf Salad: I found this one in my grandma’s 1940s cookbook, and I love how simple it is. It has just 5 ingredients, takes about 10 minutes, and would be perfect on your Thanksgiving table. And no,...
