GOLDEN GODDESS SUNSHINE SOUP
Here's the link to the complete printable recipe. It's delicious and easy to make.
Not to give it all away ~ contains turmeric + nutmeg powders, fresh ginger and more.. YUM
Also there's a surprise ingredient from the 'sunshine state' !

I don't know about you ~ but sometimes the 'salad' portion of the meal, can be overlooked a bit, with all the other traditional dishes taking centre stage. I tried this salad years ago (courtesy of Theresa visiting from Australia) and I've made it many times since. It is crisply fresh and full of flavours which complement the heavier meaty dishes at many holiday tables. Here's the full recipe and printable.
It's called Fabulous Fennel Salad for a reason!!

When I was playing with the deep and aromatic herb blend 'Garam Masala', I roasted some carrots one day and .. well.. my family literally gobbled up the results before dinner.. It is that good. The depth of flavours and the slight caramelization of the roasted carrots combine to create an "ooh la la" moment of glee.. SO GOOD. You'll want to try these for sure. Here's the recipe.

I call this next recipe "Best Warm Potato Salad" ever.. It's not so much a salad.. in truth.. as simply ONE of the most delicious ways to prepare potatoes. Folks love this so much, I've learned to make lots.

and then there's STUFFING!!! My family has loved this stuffing for a very long time. For years it was a true stuffing... i.e. inside the turkey. Since we discovered the 'brined turkey', I make this yummy stuffing in an oven-proof dish in the oven ~~ to rave reviews! Check out this winning recipe. I've included lots of choices to make this one your own. Gluten Free Stuffing  with lots of options!
