This Monday’s Mood…

If only we could fast forward to Thursday and then hit the slow-mo button. Thanksgiving may have some missing variables this 2020 but it won’t stop the spread of food that lay before us. And we could all use some holiday TLC. I love sifting through Pinterest or my Instagram feed to see gorgeous photos of food that inspire. I mean drool-worthy, provocative food photos that make you want to get out of bed and rip through the kitchen at 12:03 am. I want to share some beautiful side dishes and hopefully, you’ll recreate one of them at your turkey dinner this week.

I don’t know about you, but that roasted acorn squash with ricotta is tip-top on my radar for sides. And the same goes for the sweet potato casserole. Apple crisp is my favorite dessert because of the crisp topping, and why I never thought to apply it to mashed sweet potato is a good thought? Candied yams are “eh” in my opinion, but I will give them another go crisp style. Hassleback is such a fabulous technique for getting buttery sauces into the nooks and crannies of your vegetables. I love the way this butternut squash is looking.
