Fall Fridays Vol. 9
Last week of November! Kind of the best time of the year. Anticipation is almost always better than the actual thing you’re anticipating. Tell me I’m wrong. Here’s what went down this past week.
BAKING/COOKING
I made a new stuffing (sausage gravy stuffing) for (fake) Thanksgiving and I’m so happy with how it turned out. I’m gonna make it again at Christmas to see if my family likes it, but I can’t see how I don’t make this every year from now on. I’ve loved Chef John’s recipes for such a long time and it’s wild that he’s been this consistently great for years now.

CRAVING
A phone-free holiday season. Is it even possible? Will everyone hate this idea? I’m gonna try my best to see if my family can get onboard with this idea next month at Christmas but it might be an uphill battle.
DRINKING
Candy cane cocoa in iced coffee. What can I say, Merry Christmas.
EATING
The Thanksgiving turkey dip sandwich from Deux Luxe in NYC. It’s a “turkey burger with cranberry onion jam aioli and mozzarella, ready to dunk into a house-made gravy sauce and topped off with a stuffing cranberry crunch on the side for dunking”. So good. I love a seasonal sandwich. And I’d never thought of a sandwich having a crunchy dip, but stuffing is such a genius idea.

Fall Fridays Vol. 8
This is the earliest that I’ve ever decorated for Christmas and I can’t decide if it was a good idea or not. That first snowfall two weeks ago really tricked me into thinking I could justify a wreath here and a Christmas village there, but I think I messed up. There’s something special about December and decorations. Lesson learned for next year. Here are the highlights of the week!
BAKING/COOKING
I cannot wait to make this sausage gravy stuffing from Chef John. I love that man and I love everything he creates so I’m convinced this might change my life, stuffing-wise. (My favourite recipe of his that I make each Christmas is this spinach & artichoke dip.)
Also, I really want to try this with the kids this weekend.
CRAVING
With fake Thanksgiving next week, I’m making this s’mores pie that I make every year and it’s honestly the easiest/best pie I think I’ve ever made. Anyone can do it and it hits every time. I know the s’mores trend is long dead, but absolutely no one says no to a slice of this pie.
DRINKING
Silk’s Festive Nog and wow it was the worst. It was thick in all the wrong ways. Stay far away.
Fall Fridays Vol. 6
I know women say this a lot, but I am on a mission to use less exclamation points. I mean it this time. (Okay but that was actually difficult to not have one there in that last sentence. This has to be a disorder.)
I’ve also thought of a phrase that I one hundred percent need to stop saying out loud to people because not only is it overused by all women, but I hate the connotations beneath it. And that phrase is… “Does that make sense?” after saying something that most definitely makes sense. I know that I really want to stop saying it, but maybe we can all make a pact to try? I hate how much it screams that I don’t believe what my own thoughts/opinions are.
