The week before Thanksgiving, you can find me force feeding Thanksgiving side dishes and desserts to the Husband. He tests my recipes before other people are subject to my cooking and/or baking. This week I fed him:
- potato and fennel au gratin,
- chili con queso
- pumpkin cheesecake muffins
I was only focused enough to photograph the muffins, but I promise you the others passed the test. I’ll also be making my vegetarian stuffing, which is the bomb diggity.

Pumpkin cheesecake muffins sounds divine! I will have to try that.

OH snap crackle pop!!! The veggie stuffing looks delightful! Happy cooking sweets! xo
I love queso! And the potato fennel thing sounds yummy too! Do the pumpkin muffins taste anything like Starbucks pumpkin bread? I’m trying to be good until Thursday juicing kale, apples, pears, etc, but I’m drooling now!
yummers! Your recipes are such a nice play on traditional dishes!
i really want to know about the gratin, it sound very interesting, hopoe you have a a lovely Day of Giving Thanks.. c
The potato and fennel au gratin sounds amazing!! I definitely have to try that. And the queso too. Although, I’d eat the whole thing myself.
Oooh pumpkin cheesecake muffins! YUM!
anything con queso makes me happy. Saving all these bad boys!
YUM. Want to feed me, too?
Please send me some of your packaged dishes in the mail. I love you and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Oh I love your whole recipe line-up and cant wait to see the vegetarian stuffing recipe!
Lucky him! Those muffins look incredible. Adore the photography too.
Oh my god that queso sounds ridiiiiiiic. Growing up in Texas, it was always made with Velveeta…I’m loving this more “natural” approach.
My stomach just growled. Loudly.
I do chili con queso too!! nom nom nom… now I gotta try your pumpkin muffins, delish!
