We can inspire each other to try new, delicious ideas this season.

We all have our traditional recipes, but we should still experiment with other ingredients.

Here you will discover some of my best, newest, oldest, and favorite recipes that seemed to make my family want seconds.

If you enjoy cooking or know someone who’s the master chef in the house, then check out these ideas!

Saturday Chitchat with Janine – Volume 92

Hello everyone!

The big day is less than two weeks away. It’s time to take action!

Let’s get cooking in the kitchen with this fantastic collection of recipes recommended by the family.

There’s nothing better than a family-approved meal.

Well, there’s no time to waste! Scroll down and look at these posts to find easy, simple dishes for Thanksgiving.

Personal Note from Janine

I took a little road trip with the family on Friday to Watsonville, California. We attended a fun Holiday Crafts and Antique Fair called Goat Hill. I had a blast shopping and finding some great vintage ornaments and more.


But, after shopping, we visited the Gizdich Ranch, which has an extensive selection of homemade pies. So, I ordered a slice of their Dutch Apple pie to taste if I could learn something from their recipe.


You see, recently, I baked about four apple pies trying to perfect my mother-in-law’s recipe! My hard work paid off since my mother-in-law’s apple pie recipe was tastier than their pie. Her recipe is more committed to a yummy cinnamon and nutmeg apple filling, and my crumble topping is delicious!


But besides the apple pie taste testing, I had such a great day shopping and dining out in the countryside!

Have a wonderful Saturday and enjoy this fun Saturday Chitchat newsletter!

Cheers,

This Easy Homemade Broccoli Cheddar Soup is packed with onions, potatoes, carrots, and broccoli.

Moist Pumpkin Bread Recipe

Well, I was experimenting in the kitchen the other day and was inspired to create a pumpkin bread with a cinnamon swirl in the middle.

Can I say, this version is crazy yummy?!

This Week’s Tip – Cloth Napkins

Black Cloth Napkins

We love to use cloth napkins. And after using them for three years, I now know that black napkins are the best.

So, if you worry about staining the napkins, black is the way to go since it hides them.

These napkins are great for every meal. I bought about three dozen of them, and now we hardly use paper napkins. Plus, it is nice to enjoy a meal with a restaurant-quality napkin.

I love them and I hope you do too!

Latest Obsession – Air Fryer

Air Fryer

I’m a bit late using an air fryer, but I finally bought one.

I love it, and I use it almost every day. It cooks things fast and weirdly keeps the moist food inside and crispy on the outside.

We roasted broccoli in it the other day, and the taste was so fresh despite cooking.

I’m a convert and hope to share more recipes in the New Year. By the way, this model has a dehydration option!



Hello!
