Pillowcase Turkey with Million Dollar Gravy

This one will always hold a special place in my heart — it’s my grandmother's recipe and the very first on I ever shared on the TODAY Show. I still remember walking onto that set, nervous as could be, with my turkey tucked safely in a pillowcase (yes, really!).

Cornbread Dressing

It is not Thanksgiving without this dressing. I’ve been making it for as long as I can remember, and every year it’s the first thing people ask about...before the turkey, before the pies. It’s comforting, savory, and full of that classic Southern flavor that just tastes like home. If you’re looking for the dish that brings everyone back for seconds (and thirds), this is it.

Southern Comfort Squash Casserole

This recipe tastes like Southern comfort. It's warm, buttery, creamy, and guaranteed to disappear quickly. It reminds me of family holidays, church potlucks, and every gathering where someone said, ‘Please bring that squash casserole!’ It’s nostalgic in all the right ways.

Cozy Winter Salad

I love a hearty, cozy winter salad...especially one that feels impressive but is this simple.

Roasted Asparagus with Hollandaise

Roasted asparagus that’s so good, you’ll find yourself eating it straight off the pan.

Mac and Cheese With Bacon and Potato Chips

Call me crazy, but this might be my favorite mac & cheese recipe yet.

Chocolate–Bourbon Pecan Pie

For years I thought classic pecan pie was perfect… until I tasted this version. The chocolate and bourbon take it to a whole new level.
