Thanksgiving with they Family!

Thanksgiving!!

Nate and I went home to Vegas this Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time with the family! My mom made some amazing stuffing that Nate loved (which I will post under the breads section above). She also made a pumpkin pie, using goats cheese for the filling and pretzels for the crust. It looked fabulous! The pie didn't end up tasting that great, but the crust was delicious, so we decided that next time we'd use a different recipe (Nate's mom has a great pumpkin recipe I'll post) and the pretzel crust with it. I made an apple pie that was gluten, dairy, and sugar free as well. The crust was a pain to make, and very difficult to work with. The texture didn't turn out too well either, but in the end, it all tasted great, which Nate's stomach can testify because he ate the whole pie himself! So next time I'll try using a different crust recipe instead, but keep the filling the same. This thanksgiving will not be soon forgotten, with all of the delicious foods, cooking experiments, and friends and family we shared it with. If anyone needs any of the recipes we used (we made more than just these two pies) or has any questions, don't hesitate to contact me, I'm more than willing to help!

We also made Chicken and Peanut Butter Curry the other day that was fabulous. Thai food is one of our favorite foods to try, but due to the amount of coconut milk it can be rather unhealthy. So we tried using light coconut milk, and reducing it even more by adding a little water. It tasted just as good!
Hello again!
So recently Nate and I made homemade chili and cornbread. It was SO good! Especially on a cold winter day when your nose is starting to run and you just want to wrap up in a blanket and eat something hot (and a little spicy) - this is the perfect recipe! I posted the recipes under the main tabs (Bread/ Entrees) and just want to share our experience and the photo's here. I looked and looked for a cornbread and chili recipe that I liked, but couldn't find one. I wanted something easy, fast and delicious! So, I sort of made up both of these recipes based upon others that I've seen and tried before myself. My favorite part of this chili recipe, is the "Secret Ingredient"! haha, I know, silly. But it seriously makes this chili amazing, giving it the perfect kick. If you aren't that big of a spicy person, just add a little, and it will not overpower the wonderful taste of the stew. The chili and cornbread go wonderful together, and Nate LOVED the honey spread:) Hope you enjoy!
