🌽The Thanksgiving Side That Vanishes First


Hi friends!

It's finally fall, and I couldn't be happier about it! The mornings are cool, the heat is gone, and I've been dying to turn my oven back on. Sweatshirt weather is my favorite time of year, and I've already started thinking about what I'm making for Thanksgiving.

Here's what's new and updated this week:

🌽 Corn Pudding: New​
It's creamy, a little sweet, and easy to make. It's a side dish that everyone loves. I think it's going to be on my Thanksgiving table for years to come.

🥧 Heavenly Lime Pie (Angel Pie): Updated​
I gave this old favorite a refresh! It has a crisp meringue crust and a tangy lime filling. It looks fancy, and it's a fun one to bring out when you want to surprise everyone. Plus, it's my great-grandma's recipe.

Thank you so much for being here and cooking along with me. I love reading your emails and hearing about the recipes you've made in your own kitchens. You make this little corner of the internet feel like home, and I'm so grateful for every one of you.

What's the one side dish that has to be on your Thanksgiving table every year? Hit reply and tell me. I'd love to hear!

Warmly,
Heidi (aka Lulu)

Hi friends! 👋 My daughter and I marched in the parade for our local fall festival this weekend! Then we went back to the festival today to wander around. It was so cozy and fun. We came home with caramel kettle corn and a few other goodies, and I'm not sure how much of it will survive until Monday. After a day like that, all I want is a big bowl of soup and a warm slice of homemade bread. So this week I'm sharing two of each. Mix and match however you like! 🥣 Classic Minestrone Soup Loaded...

Apple crisp.

Hi friends! 👋 We went to the county fair the other night, and I think that's officially the start of fall for me. We saw all the animals. The goats, the cows, the bunnies with ears longer than my arm, and my friend's llamas, who were looking very proud of themselves. We even saw kangaroos and a porcupine! Then we ate our way through the fairgrounds, because what's the point of going if you don't come home a little too full? My husband got a deep-fried strawberry shortcake, which might be the...

Bread Dressing.

Hi friends! This past week was a big one at our house. My daughter had an audition on Friday for a local production of Anastasia, and she got a part! She has been singing around the house ever since, and I love it. Our weekends are about to get a lot busier with rehearsals, but I'll still find time to make yummy new recipes. Here's what's new this week: 🍞 Dorothy Dean's Bread DressingI found this in an old newspaper clipping from my hometown. It's golden on top, soft and buttery in the...
