Thanksgiving Tablescape
I love Thanksgiving, it is my favorite day of the year! We usually don't have company on the day, but we enjoy extending the holiday through the weekend before getting to the December frenzy. On Saturday, we are having a small dinner party of six, so of course that means a pretty table. I set …

Panko Crusted Deviled Turkey Breast
One of my favorite things to do is to cook for guys. It is fun to prepare something hearty and flavorful, and watch it disappear with second helpings. Recently, I had one of my husband's friends over for dinner while his wife was out of town visiting her family. DH and best car buddy had …
