This week, I’m inviting you into a conversation where we honor and create space for whatever emotions you’re carrying into Thanksgiving. Whether you’re feeling joy, grief, excitement, or a little bit of everything, this episode is a gentle way to prepare your heart for the days ahead.
I’m also sharing some of my favorite, easy-to-make recipes to inspire your holiday table — plus a funny Thanksgiving memory that’ll make you laugh and remind you that every holiday looks a little different. Let’s navigate this season together.
Bacon green beans
5 cans of cut green beans
Pack of bacon
2/3 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup melted butter
1 clove garlic
3 tablespoons soy sauce
Instructions
Cook your bacon & break it up into pieces.
Drain your green beans and place them into a 9x13 baking dish.
Toss your bacon bites on top of the green beans.
Mix together your topping which is melted butter, brown sugar and soy sauce and garlic. Once that mixture is together pour that mixture over the bacon green bean mixture.
Bake uncovered for 40 min at 350 degrees.
Boursin Brussels
1 package of Boursin cheese. Use whatever flavor you want. Garlic and herb works great but I am on the hunt for the hot honey one.
In a greased dish smash down the Boursin cheese into an even layer.
Then take your Brussels: washed and cut into halves and place the cut side down onto the cheese.
It’s ok if they overlap or if you have loose leaves. Just toss it all on top but make sure the loose leaves are coated with olive oil because these will be your most crispy pieces.
Once all Brussels are face down on the cheese you will little drizzle and massage them with olive oil then salt, pepper, garlic to your liking.
Bake in the oven for 25-30 min in a 400 degree oven or until crispy.
Once you pull the dish out of the oven drizzle with hot honey.
Honey corn bread
2 boxes of honey corn bread jiffy mix
Follow the instructions on the back of the box.
Add in 1 can of sweet cream corn.
Melt a stick of butter and add it into your mixture.
Bake in the oven for 30-45 min at 400 degrees.
This one takes longer in the oven because it’s so dense. This is not your traditional dry corn bread. This is more like a sweetened spoon bread.
Perfect portion brownies
2 boxes of whatever flavor brownie mix you would like
1 bag of thin Reese’s.
Grease a muffin pan. Mix up brownie mix according to the box. Dollop a small amount of brownie mix into the bottom of a muffin pan then add the thin Reesie‘s cup then fill with remaining brownie batter. And bake!
You can sub the Reesie’s cup for an Oreo or a Hershey’s kiss.
Have a safe, and wonderful Thanksgiving!
