Still serving cranberry sauce from a can? 😄

This homemade version is so easy—and the combination of fresh cranberries, orange, pomegranate juice, cinnamon and allspice makes it perfect for the holiday table. ❤️

It only takes about 10 minutes on the stove, and you can make it ahead of time!

Are you **TEAM HOMEMADE** or **TEAM CAN** when it comes to cranberry sauce? 😂👇

🌽 Thanksgiving side dish alert!

This easy Corn Casserole is creamy, cheesy, slightly sweet and has a little extra flavor from mild green chiles.

Better yet, it's ridiculously easy to put together — mix, pour and bake.

Look how HUGE this bread machine brioche gets! 🍞🎃

I took my bread machine brioche and gave it a fall twist with pumpkin pie spice, raisins and roasted pumpkin seeds.

And yes...I'm already thinking French toast. 😋

🔥🧀 Buffalo chicken meets creamy mac & cheese!

This one checks all my comfort-food boxes: tender chicken, elbow macaroni and a creamy homemade cheese sauce with Buffalo sauce, cheddar, American cheese and blue cheese.

And here's my little twist: 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.

It doesn't make the mac & cheese sweet—it helps balance that Buffalo heat. ❤️

Dr. J's tip: Your sauce may look a little loose when you first add the pasta. Don't panic! Give it 3–5 minutes and the pasta will absorb some of that sauce and it'll thicken beautifully.

🔥 Would you put Buffalo sauce in your mac & cheese?

🥗 Stop buying French dressing—make this instead!

This is one of my favorite homemade salad dressings, and it couldn't be easier. Add everything to a mason jar, put on the lid and SHAKE!

Sweet, tangy and perfect over a big crisp salad. ❤️

Kim's Favorite “French” Dressing Recipe:

⅓ cup rice w**e vinegar
⅓ cup granulated sugar
½ cup ketchup
½ cup avocado oil
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Pinch of kosher salt
Ground black pepper

That's it—no blender required!

What's your favorite salad dressing: French, Ranch, Italian or Vinaigrette? 👇

24+ ingredients…or just 8? 😳

I love those little packaged Hawaiian rolls too—but when I looked at the ingredient list, I decided to make my own.

These homemade Hawaiian rolls use just 8 ingredients, and my bread machine does most of the hard work. 🍞❤️

Would you make these instead of buying the packaged ones? 👇

🦃 What if the turkey didn't take up your oven this Thanksgiving?

This juicy boneless Turkey Breast cooks right in the Instant Pot — and then we use those flavorful cooking juices to make the gravy in the same pot.

It serves about 4–6 people, making it perfect for a smaller Thanksgiving dinner.

🍲 Comfort-food season is here!

Tender beef, mushrooms, pearl onions and egg noodles in a rich, creamy sauce — all cooked right in the Instant Pot.

And here's one of my favorite parts: no flour or cornstarch needed. The noodles help thicken the sauce as it rests.

Beef Stroganoff fans: egg noodles or mashed potatoes? 👇

🍂 8 minutes in the Instant Pot!

This Butternut Squash & Apple Soup combines sweet butternut squash, fresh apple, ginger and warm fall spices into one seriously cozy bowl.

And don't have an Instant Pot? I've included stovetop directions too.

$55 for Shrimp Fra Diavolo?! 😳🍤

We found this classic Italian dish locally for anywhere from about $26 to $55.

So I made it at home.

Tender shrimp, San Marzano tomatoes, garlic, white w**e, crushed red pepper and fettuccine—and it works out to only about $4–$5 per serving.

Restaurant-quality dinner without the restaurant price. ❤️

Would you pay $55 for it—or make it at home? 😂
