Apple Sausage Stuffing

I know I missed the mark on posting this before Thanksgiving but does stuffing season really end until after Christmas? Nope. We don't eat stuffing year round but from mid-November to December 25th it is our thang. And my apple sausage stuffing is the delicious, no one will be disappointed.

Ingredients:
1 sweet or yellow onion
2 apples (I like honey crisp)
1 cup chopped celery
1 lb. ground Italian sausage (or sage sausage)
1 bag plain stuffing mix (not stove top, you just need the croutons in it)
Sage
Thyme
Basil
Garlic
Salt and Pepper
Chicken broth
1 egg

Step 1:

1 cup diced celery

1 diced yellow onion

2 diced apples

Step 2:

Brown sausage, then set aside to drain

In a sauce pan saute onion, apples, and celery with a little chicken broth

Season with salt and pepper and garlic powder

Once the veggies/fruit are softened and carmelized add the cooked sausage

Step 3:

Add one bag of stuffing croutons to the mixture in a large bowl, add about 1 cup to 2 cups of chicken broth to the mix (depending on how dry or, dare I say, moist you like your stuffing)

Seasoning with Thyme, sage, and basil (let's say a teaspoon of each)

I'll also add a bit more salt and garlic at this point.

Step 4:

Add one egg to the mixture. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. You can also make this ahead of time and bake the day of.

30 Gluten-Free Crock Pot Meals that Won't Break the Bank

In honor of my dad, this round of crock potting is gluten-free. Over the summer my dad was diagnosed with Celiac Disease and when I found out, I cringed for him. My dad, like me, loves food - all kinds of food but especially pastas, pizzas, bread. How on earth could we take out so many delicious foods that fall under the category of "gluten" and still be satisfied? Apparently it's not as hard as I thought. These recipes are REALLY good, completely satisfying, super easy, and very affordable. I did 30 meals for $168 (this includes a strainer I needed plus disposable trays for the two freezer meals). Keep in mind these recipes are NOT Paleo or AIP. They are simply GLUTEN FREE. That also doesn't mean fat-free or calorie-free. Sorry, folks! ;) You also won't find any cream of whatchamacallit or seasoning packets. Not because I'm completely opposed to them (though I do know they are highly processed and not good for us), but because most, if not all of them...

How We Painted Our Cabinets {and Totally Transformed Our Kitchen}

About 9 months ago I took the plunge and painted our kitchen cabinets. I feel like this is the DIY project that most people are afraid to tackle because, hello! It is the kitchen. So much time is spent in the kitchen and it really is the focal point of the home – if it’s done sloppy, wrong or doesn’t turn out as expected it would be a huge headache and a lot of money to fix. However, this is probably the best DIY project our family has done. Not only did it make a HUGE impact on our home and main living space but it was extremely cost effective at only $150. Once upon a time, our kitchen looked like this: Now it looks like this: It was pretty yellow before. Maple was everywhere. Maple cabinets, maple floors. I walked in this room and it felt like it was constantly glowing (even after I painted the walls a beautiful shade of “perfect greige”). Anyhoo, I knew I wanted a white kitchen. I feel like white cabinets appear decade after decade. They are timeless and cla...

Post-Partum Myth Busters...

...for me at least! The entire time I was pregnant I received a lot of advice - good and bad. It's ALWAYS nice to hear what happened to other people/what worked for them but, let's be honest, when it comes to someone who isn't a parent or isn't a parent you'd like to be, their advice can just be stupid. I know everyone is different but I'd like to share my experiences. For those of you that would like to hear it, here are a few things that have come up during the first few weeks for me that I wish I had more of a warning about/didn't expect: 1. The hospital is NOT fun - everyone told me being in the hospital after delivery is great. You have all the extra help and resources, etc. No thank you! I didn't get any sleep while recovering because there was constantly someone in our room - checking my blood pressure (yes, I was woken up for that on many occasions), checking on Isaiah, cleaning the bathroom, getting your food orders (seriously, bring me a PB and...
