Today I made gluten free, egg free, reduced fat, reduced sugar, blueberry muffins in glass jars.

They are perfect, delicious and oh so cute. Recipe up when I make my blog.

[Love Basil Sage @lovebasilsage]

I’m gonna start a food blog tonight because I’m bored. Get ready.

First recipe will be my favorite Salty Lemon Salad🌱🍋😝

[Love Basil Sage @lovebasilsage]

Homemade marinara simmering on the stove. Oh yes. Oh, yes.

@alisoneroman inspired Wine Braised Chicken with Artichoke Hearts. Sautéed garlicky Tuscan kale on the side.

When half the house is sick, we soup.

My new ultimate cold/flu buster chicken soup:
Lots of garlic, fresh ginger, onions, celery, carrots, kale (or spinach), fresh parsley, chicken, turmeric, rosemary, thyme.

[Love Basil Sage @lovebasilsage]

Epic salads take time to make, but they’re usually worth it.

Eggless tuna salad
Cucumber moons
Thinly sliced red onion
Cubbed honey crisp apple
Brie, all on top of greens with zesty Italian dressing.

Say hello to my New Little Friend.
We minced garlic for some pasta fagiole, ayeee.

Gonna delete this pic in my phone, but it definitely deserves to be remembered.

Baby back ribs.
Slow roasted for 3 hours.
Glazed with homemade BBQ sauce.

Stuffed pepper success. Yum.

I like to research a bit, usually for things to do with a particular food I have on hand, and then I find recipes and build off their base.

Insides:

I could drink this!

Whitefish with garlic + lemon baked in turkey drippings.

[Love Basil Sage @lovebasilsage]

If any of you made the now famous @alisoneroman turkey for Thanksgiving, I hope you didn’t throw the drippings away because they are magical and multi-functional.

So far I have:
+ made gravy
+ broth
+ and baked white fish in it!

It’s gone now, but wow, so freaking flavorful.

[Love Basil Sage @lovebasilsage]

@HelenOE Interesting!

[Love Basil Sage @lovebasilsage]

I am already looking up recipes for making soup with the turkey bones, which yes, I did save.

[L. Brooke @elleameno_p]

Vegan + gluten free chocolate chip cookies in the oven. Apple pie in box. Waiting for Black Friday to begin...

Thanksgiving For Two.

[Love Basil Sage @lovebasilsage]

How’s your Thanksgiving going down? I made my turkey by following @alisoneroman’s @nytfood cooking video on YouTube. Now it’s in the oven. Did it pretty last minute, too!

[Love Basil Sage @lovebasilsage]

If you were wondering how this turkey came out. If you were wondering if Alison Roman recipes are legit. This is the first turkey I’ve ever made, and I’m usually purely a sides girl, but this came out so amazing. Time to sit around being full till dessert now.
