Celebrations

Holidays and special occasions call for celebration, would you agree? We all love traditional gatherings for the obvious holidays, but we also love smaller holidays and love to celebrate each one with a special menu. We love a good 4th of July themed picnic, Valentine's Day treats everyone will love, or "Game-Day" appetizers and entrees made in the Instant Pot.

Consider this your one-stop-shop to every celebratory menu you'll ever need. Looking for a Thanksgiving menu (for 5 special diets)? Or maybe you'd like a "Real-Food Makeover" for your Christmas menu? We've got it!

5-Spice Apple Chutney {lacto-fermented} | Kicked up with the Chinese 5-Spice Blend, lacto-fermented apple chutney has been rocking our house lately. I can't keep enough of it on hand for the kids.

When my daughter asked for "lamb on a stick" (aka rack of lamb) for her 2nd birthday, I was proud as punch -- and then whipped up this rice pilaf, garnished with rosemary from our tiny urban balcony garden, to go alongside! It's simple, elegant, and perfect for any special occasion.
