Cream Roasted Cauliflower⁣ ⁣ Y’all! Seriousl Cream Roasted Cauliflower⁣
⁣
Y’all! Seriously. This is going to be a new go-to recipe for the Fall and Holiday season.⁣
⁣
I mean, it would be amazing anytime…⁣
⁣
🥛Cauliflower is roasted in cream with a sprinkle of ranch seasoning.⁣
⁣
Then topped with a few dollops of Boursin’s Shallot and Chive cheese + Gruyere cheese.⁣
⁣
The cauliflower soaks up the cream and seasoning, getting soft and spoonable. While the cheese gives an unctuous texture to the entire dish.⁣
⁣
If you’re a cauliflower lover like myself, give this recipe a try!⁣
⁣
🥄 You’ll be standing at your counter eating it from the dish… going back for more… over and over.⁣

🥟 Dumpling Sauce!! Y’all, thanks to @jen_cur 🥟 Dumpling Sauce!!

Y’all, thanks to @jen_curley for the inspiration… This sauce is good on everything!

Tossed with noodles, dumplings dipped into, sushi, you name it… it dunks.

🧄 Green onions, fresh garlic, and fresh ginger are swirled together with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and my new favorite ingredient: black vinegar!

This sauce has the umami 🥊 you want when you’re dipping all the things into it.

*If* you end up with leftover sauce, boil some ramen noodles and toss them together…

Perfect evening meal!

BALSAMIC BROWN SUGAR BRUSSELS SPROUTS

The original photo was taken on my parent’s living room side table… We were about to eat, I needed to snap a photo, so I plopped it under the brightest lamp… and snapped the photo with my iPhone from 2013.

Last year, I had the photos updated >> Swipe to see the original! Ha!

These brussels sprouts are cooked in bacon grease (yum), drizzled with a brown sugar balsamic slurry (yum), and are roasted to golden brown crisp perfection.

The sweet and tangy flavor pairs well with any meal!

They’ll turn brussel haters to brussel lovers in one bite. 

Alright, y’all. This has been a super fun glance down memory lane. 

What’s been your favorite recipe?!

Grandma’s Dressing Recipe! The second most sear Grandma’s Dressing Recipe!

The second most searched clicked and loved recipe on Sweetpea Lifestyle.

It’s what Thanksgiving Dreams are made of, and no holiday in our home is complete without it.

Fluffy Italian-style bread is tossed with warm thanksgiving spices like sage, and marjoram.

Simmered on the stove is copious amounts of butter with onions and celery.

All of this is mixed together and homemade turkey stock is ladled over until the perfect consistency is reached.

Lovingly baked until crispy on the edges and sumptuous in the center!

There is a reason why people love this recipe so much — it reminds them of their mom’s recipe, their grandmother’s recipe, their aunt’s recipe…

Nostalgia plays into this recipe, and you too will be transported to another era when you eat it!

Cheers to that, y’all!
