I don’t know about you, but I just can’t get enough stuffing (dressing?) at Thanksgiving. I love all of the different components of the feast eaten together. So by the time I’ve had a bit of each, I’m already full. No more room for stuffing. Well, I’ve got the solution in this casserole: an entree…

Spiced Pear Pie
This Spiced Pear Pie is the perfect end to an autumn supper! I feel like pumpkin, apple, and pear are The Big Three of the fall baking fruits (if you count pumpkin as a fruit). But I feel like pears don’t get as much limelight as apples and pumpkins. Which is such a shame: they’re…
Cranberry Sourdough Stuffing/Dressing
On Monday, my stove quit. This Cranberry Sourdough Stuffing was the last thing I cooked on it before it shut down. Okay, first of all, some background. My stove is an oven and range all-in-one unit. It has been giving me grief for 6 years. I can go about 5 baking sessions before the oven beeps…
Eggnog Frothed Milk
Eggnog is Reuben’s favorite thing to drink. He usually doesn’t get super excited (at least on the outside) about food, but I can tell that he is thrilled when eggnog starts appearing in the stores in November. If I were a really good wifey, I would make him some of my delicious homemade eggnog so…
Cranberry Clafoutis
Hey, friends! How is your November going? I’m BEYOND excited for Christmas this year, but I don’t want it to overshadow fall and Thanksgiving. Fall is a tiny blip as it is, so I want to savor it. Do you feel like that, or are you pulling out the Christmas decorations in October? I feel…
Christmas Brunch Ideas
Christmas is almost upon us! I think that a Christmas morning brunch is a lovely thing. It’s become a bit of a tradition in my family’s house to open presents and then have a large breakfast. If we’re feeling particularly chipper, we have the full menu of eggs, sausage, stollen, cake, fruit, eggnog, coffee, etc….
Homemade Eggnog
I originally posted about this awesome eggnog three years ago on Cooking for Seven. It’s still a favorite at Christmastime, so I felt I should share it here on Buttered Side Up. Our family has always enjoyed a good cup of eggnog at Christmastime. Mom would carefully pour out a small portion and add a…
Perfect Pumpkin Pie
This perfect pumpkin pie recipe is made with quality ingredients. The result is a pie that’s smooth, rich, and perfectly sweet. Call me massively boring, but pumpkin is my favorite of the Thanksgiving pies. Of course I love my share of blueberry, apple, banana, and coconut (I could go on. I adore pie.), but I…
Simple Sage Stuffing/Dressing from Scratch
A simple sage stuffing (AKA dressing) recipe for Thanksgiving that tastes better than the boxed version! This post, entitled Simple Sage Stuffing/Dressing from Scratch, was originally published on November 19, 2012 on Cooking for Seven. Stuffing is one of my favorite Thanksgiving dishes, so I’m re-posting it here! Confession: I have a special place in my…
