Filipino Adobo is a rich, comforting braise that doesn’t taste heavy or cloying thanks to the moderating influence of tangy vinegar.

I love hot chocolate any time of year, if I’m being completely honest. I drink it ALL the time. I usually use almond milk because it’s a bit better for my body, so feel free to use rice milk, almond milk or light coconut milk. Whatever floats your boat!

Of course, if you’re trying to keep it dairy-free, you could simply add a few tablespoons of brown sugar.

There’s no reason I would show you how to stack stuffing, turkey, cranberry sauce and gravy onto a few slices of bread. But this is a bit different.

This may just be my new favorite way of preparing salmon. It involves relatively little work, and the resulting salmon is tender and juicy. As a bonus, you even get asparagus with your salmon! The only slightly tricky part is the Hollandaise sauce, but once you’ve got the method down it’s not much harder than making a smoothie.

Can you believe Thanksgiving is less than a week away?! I wish this year would slow down. I wish we had at least three more weeks until Thanksgiving. This part of the year always flies by and I always, always wish it would slow down so it could be savored.
