Angel Biscuits

Wow, the holidays just have a way of sweeping the time away doesn't it?  That week of Thanksgiving I was running in circles.  We had everything ready Thanksgiving morning and it went off without a hitch!  It was one of the best Thanksgivings my family has had because everyone was able to make it.  And that's what Thanksgiving is all about. Family. I love you guys <3  Which brings me to one of the foods I served on that wonderful day.  Yep! What is Thanksgiving without biscuits?  These biscuits are to die for.  They're even good several days later!

Lavender Au Gratin Potatoes

I've never used dried lavender before and wanted to try something new.  So I decided to make this recipe.  It's very easy, albeit a little time consuming.  Fortunately for me, I just bought a new slicer at Sams Club.  You just put the potato in and press down and it slices it for you! I don't know how I've survived so long without it lol.  Especially since I always seem to start dinner late when I need to start early to have it ready in time.

Skinny Mashed Potatoes

I've always been an instant potatoes gal in the past.  But adding all that milk and butter added so many calories, I found I couldn't eat them when cutting back.  So, when we found a lower calorie alternative on a site listing recipes found on the back of boxes, I was thrilled.  Hello, mashed potatoes, I've missed you so.

Sweet Cornbread

Had a wonderful Dinner tonight.  And this cornbread had just the right amount of sweetness.  It was so creamy and moist. I'll definitely be making these again!

Parmesan Roasted Asparagus

I'm not a big asparagus lover, but my Mom and Dad love it.  This Summer we grew a lot of asparagus and froze them. I've just never been able to see past pairing it with a glob of mayonnaise.  And since mayonnaise can be high in calories/fat, I realllly didn't want to do that.  So, when my sister found this recipe, I was thrilled.  She did all the cooking and picture taking too!  I'm happy to say the finished result is rather pleasing and we'll be having it again soon.
