Easy Roll out Sugar Cookies
Hi everyone! Happy Friday 🙂 I am really excited to be sharing this recipe with you. What some of you may not know is I worked at a bakery for 10 years before moving states and starting this blog.

Cranberry Sauce
Hi everyone! Thanksgiving is just a little over a week away and I couldn’t be more excited 🙂 Growing up in a Middle Eastern household, we never had cranberry sauce on our Thanksgiving dinner table. I see why many people do though.

Also, it doesn’t require more than 5 ingredients…

You will definitely be making it again once you try it! Ingredients…

I always like to put a spin on a classic and in this case its that vegetable side dish that you find on every holiday dinner table. Zucchini and Butternut Squash are definitely go to vegetables this time of year; they scream Fall and comfort.

Many times a gratin is very heavy because butter or heavy cream is incorporated. My version is healthier yet just as…
