Thanksgiving is on the horizon, and while it may look different this year than years past, it’s still possible to celebrate with all your favorite traditional recipes and desserts.
If you’ve got a smaller gathering than usual, why not roast a chicken instead of a turkey? Call us crazy but that tender, juicy whole chicken rivals a larger turkey any day of the week.
In addition to being a healthy part of the holiday table, chicken is also an affordable choice this holiday – why buy a large turkey when your guest list doesn’t warrant it?
So this year we’re opting for Sanderson Farms whole chickens or Roasters because it just makes sense. They’re 100% natural, minimally processed with no added hormones, preservatives or artificial ingredients and they’re always fresh, never frozen.
Whether you’re dry brining your bird or trying our popular feta brined recipe (which you must!), you’ll want to make sure you’ve got all the traditional fixings and sides, too. Just enough – and not too much – for your gathering this year! LEGGI TUTTO

This post is written in partnership with Red Gold.
We’re entering the season of holiday celebrations, and while we love a fancier roast or special appetizer, the brunt of the cooking we’re doing is still focused on weeknight dinners the whole family will love.
Not surprisingly, Italian recipes are always a home-run, featuring cans of steam packed fresh tomatoes, grated cheese, perfectly al dente pasta, creamy polenta and tender meats.
Red Gold American grown tomatoes really anchor these dinner recipes thanks to their true tomato flavor (and never anything artificial).
From a Sausage Polenta Casserole to Roast Chicken on Angel Hair, these are great recipes to double and share with a neighbor or friend who could use a little boost. After all, we may not be able to share a meal with a large group this season, but we’re finding new ways to connect and share.  LEGGI TUTTO

Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup is the first recipe that comes to mind once “soup season” starts.
I love the steamy broth with tender chicken and thick egg noodles. It’s the epitome of comfort food and reminds me of the pure delight felt when my mom would make a large pot for dinner after a busy day at school. That’s my favorite version of chicken soup, and I’m sure you have yours. If not, don’t worry this list is certain to help you find something filling, soothing and worthy of a second bowl.
I’ve gathered up some of the best chicken soup recipes that range from brothy and simple to thick and hearty. Some have noodles and some don’t. Try them all to find your favorite.

More often than not, Saturday night is movie night in my house, and with a movie comes dessert!
We rotate who gets to pick the movie each week, which means every four weeks I get to pick. Who wants to watch Little Women? Meeee!!! When it comes to dessert if I have to choose between chocolate and anything else, I’m always choosing chocolate. My boys might not love every movie selection I make, but chocolate is always a winner.
Some of our movie night family favorites include silky chocolate pudding topped with whipped cream, fudgy brownies cut into bite-size squares, or chocolate ice cream scooped into a bowl. There isn’t anything wrong with keeping it simple. Sometimes chocolate chips mixed into buttery salted popcorn is all it takes.
You have options galore when it comes to chocolate desserts, make any of the above or choose something else from the list below!

When I worked as a baker, we sold pumpkin muffins, pumpkin granola, and pumpkin spice lattes by the dozens once the air turned chilly. It was pumpkin season and we did everything we could to satiate the pumpkin craving.
Pumpkin spice is delicious but that’s not the only way to use fall’s favorite vegetable. Pumpkin can do so much more!
These recipes use either fresh or canned pumpkin. For recipes that use fresh pumpkin, look for sugar pumpkins or pumpkin pie pumpkins. The pumpkin should feel heavy for its size and have a smooth exterior with no soft spots, browning or mold. Also, in a pinch you can usually substitute butternut squash for pumpkin in most recipes and no one would be the wiser.
Pumpkins have a long shelf life so feel free to pick up a few so that you’re prepared when the pumpkin craving strikes.
When it comes to canned pumpkin just double check the label to make sure you’re buying canned pumpkin purée and not pumpkin pie filling. LEGGI TUTTO

Did September fly by for you the way it did for me? It’s always a busy month getting back into the school routine, and this year is like no other.
My two school-aged boys are in virtual classes, which means there has been a lot to adjust to this month. Regardless of where school is held these days, having easy meals is essential for easing into the fall season.
And this month, you loved refreshed classic dinners, brushing up on the basics, drinking fancy cocktails and eating pie for breakfast. Well done. I couldn’t agree more! LEGGI TUTTO
