Always hungry.
Happy new year! How are everyone’s new year’s resolutions going so far? I don’t know about you, but I took yesterday off from any kind of resolution. January 1 is a holiday, a day of rest – right? So the healthy eating starts today for me! I have a few healthy recipes to share with you over the next few days to start the year off right. The first is one of my favorites – kale salad…
Happy New Year everybody! 2013 was a great year for TheBetterHalf and me. In addition to taking some amazing trips, we launched ChezCateyLou.com! It has been so much fun to master new recipes, learn about photography, and get to know the blogging world – and to share it all with you, my amazing readers! Blogging sure is a lot of work, but we have loved every second of it. The past few weeks have been exciting for us – we are now self-hosted and I’m looking forward to making some improvements to the blog in the upcoming weeks. I predict good things in 2014 🙂
Before we get settled into 2014, I want to take a look back at my top 5 favorite recipes of 2013. I can’t even tell you how hard it was to pick only five. It is like picking your favorite child! I’m still debating if I picked the right ones (let me know yours in the comments!), but here goes:…
It is Thanksgiving Week, Day 4! Time for some potatoes, because what is Thanksgiving without at least two types of potatoes. I love traditional mashed potatoes (smothered in gravy of course) but since that recipe is fairly basic, I decided to make sweet potatoes. There are so many ways to prepare sweet potatoes, but I went for a candied sweet potato casserole topped with glazed pecans! You could top this one with marshmallows instead if you are so inclined, but TheBetterHalf is not a marshmallow fan. He actually said “It’s Thanksgiving, not summer camp.” So that’s that. …
These Sherry Charred Brussels Sprouts are my new favorite way to cook this veggie! The brussels sprouts are so easy to make, and are so flavorful!
It is Thanksgiving Week day 3! So far we’ve had Haricots Verts and Stuffing (TheBetterHalf’s favorite) and now it is time for my favorite – Brussels Sprouts! I know, it is hard to believe that I choose brussels over pie, but it is true. I just love brussels sprouts! There is something about their flavor -when they get all browned and crispy that I just can’t resist.
We eat brussels sprouts all the time, especially in the winter. I have no self control around them – I actually have to make only two (large) servings or else I just won’t stop eating them. I usually roast them in a 400 degree oven tossed in some olive oil, salt, and pepper. But for our Thanksgiving Week, I decided to try a new recipe, one for the best brussels sprouts that I have ever eaten.

It is Thanksgiving Week, day two! This is the most exciting day of this week for TheBetterHalf – stuffing! I talked about this in my post on Stuffing Bread (side note: make this bread immediately for your leftover turkey sandwiches! so good!), but TheBetterHalf LOVES stuffing. I mean he loves all food (we’re a good match), but I think he really gets the most excited about stuffing. …
