Are you excited for turkey day?  I am too, but it’s bittersweet… This will be my first thanksgiving without Grams (my grandma). One of my favorite thanksgiving memories was the tradition we created together – preparing her recipe for spinach patties…  We shared that tradition all the way up until last year when she was 92.

Thanksgiving Sides: Delicata Squash

Did you know you can eat the skin of some squash? This squash is in that squad. I found it in Trader Joe’s with a label on it and cooked it according to it’s directions.  The skin softens enough when you roast it so you can eat the whole thing. I like to drizzle a little salt and honey on the squash when it’s ready … Continue reading Thanksgiving Sides: Delicata Squash
