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!

Sometimes I'm just in a stuffing mood... Then the big questions are: what can I serve with it? What new twist can I create? I initially resisted adding sausage to my stuffing. Finally, I caved, and I'm so glad I did! My newest version is a savory sourdough stuffing with Italian sausage!

THIS coconut cream pie has nothing to hide -- no white flour, refined sugar, boxed pudding, or margarine.
