This salad has everything one could hope for.
SAVORY, SWEET, HEALTHY, CRUNCHY, CREAMY & TENDER.
Perhaps all of these elements will cure the hankering I have to eat sweets non-stop this season?
Only time will tell….

Here’s what this past week looked like:
COUSINS!! Playing Xbox Kinect in matching jammies the day after Thanksgiving.
THEN & NOW. We’re taking it back old school. Like high school style on the Joy the Baker Podcast this week!
The Zoe Report featured my Pumpkin Pie. BANANAS.
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I’m currently in a food coma. I promise salads next week. Lighter foods! You in? Also! Let me take this opportunity to say THANK YOU! Thank you for your comments, your emails, your posts on my facebook wall, and your instagram photos of foods you’ve made from my website! I appreciate the heck out of you. You’re the best!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!! (Bites from Around the Net will be up next week. Things were a little hectic this week. xo)
I’m totally in denial about how much I have to do this week and in the process I’ve realized that my coping mechanism is kinda messed up. In my head I keep thinking- It’s just food. It’s no big deal. I’ve got this. I mean…this is the kinda stuff I love. Then suddenly a part of my brain is trying to figure out how I am going to fit all the stuff in the oven and the cooking times of everything. Oh! And I’m also processing the fact that I am making my first turkey and that I’m spatchcocking it. And where am I going to find time to clean my toilets & get the sunflowers I want for my table arrangement. My stairs need to be vacuumed too! Suddenly, I’m eating a bite of hobo bread from Trader Joe’s (yeah, that’s a thing) and my to-do list just disappeared.
Food as a coping mechanism? Noted.
Some of you might be in the same boat as me right now and some of you may just have dessert duty or side dish patrol (lucky you!).
If you’ve got crazy hosting brain, you may have forgotten that there needs to be nuts at your appetizer spread. That’s cool. I’ve got something that’s so easy and brainless (we need our brains when we’re getting a whole Thanksgiving together!). What I like about this recipe for Roasted Rosemary Almonds is that it’s a really simple thing to cross off my to-do list. They’re super tasty too. Who doesn’t love almonds?
Hope your/my Thanksgiving isn’t nuts! xo
Here’s what this past week looked like:
We’re binging on The Peanuts Holiday Collection right now. Cooper loves Snoopy.
How’s Your Turkey Game? An all new Joy the Baker Podcast is up! We discuss Thanksgiving, friendships, momming & say the word SPATCHCOCK too many times. Get on it!
The Texan New Yorker made my Mini Apple Pie Cheesecakes.
Voracious Vander used my No Knead Pizza Dough to make an amazing Sweet Potato Apple Bacon Pizza!
I’m gearing up to host my first Thanksgiving next week so it’s BRAINSTORM/CRUNCH TIME. You with me?!
Let’s brainstorm!
