Giving Thanks (Butternut Squash Apple Soup Recipe)
I asked the boys where they wanted to go to dinner Friday night. Chase screamed Bruxie’s and excitedly shared how amazing it was. Luke agreed so we made the trek to the new one on Birch Street. There was a line, but it went pretty quickly. The boys were both in rare form, cracking each…

Thanksgiving Traditions – Chex Mix
I have a passion for trying new recipes and updating recipes but at Thanksgiving there is one tradition that never gets updated – Chex Mix. As a little girl I would get to Aunt Ginny’s or my Grandparents and run to the living room to find the bowl full of Chex Mix. It is a…

Next week is Thanksgiving. I feel the year is rushing quickly towards the end. I want to slow it down and enjoy the holidays, starting with Thanksgiving. These Chipotle Cheddar Scones are slightly spicy, cheesy and perfectly flaky. One of my favorite turkeys to make is a Ancho Chile and Honey Turkey. My faithful standby…
