Gratins and Casseroles

Y'all, this election day is nerve-wracking...Definitely praying for the future of our country. In the meantime, thinking about the upcoming holidays makes me happy! If you're looking for some healthier dishes to serve your family and friends, check out the new recipe for this Purple Sweet Potato Casserole with Toasted Marshmallow Meringue! It's naturally sweetened with pure maple syrup and free of gluten, grains, and dairy too!

Day 5 of my "Ten Days of Thanksgiving" is a Chipotle Sweet Potato Casserole with Bacon Maple Crumble. I wanted to create a savory sweet potato casserole for our Thanksgiving feast instead of a sweet variation. I really like to balance out the natural sweetness of the potatoes with some spice and smokiness.

If you're experiencing acute episode of eating fatigue, or feeling a deep disconnect in any food-related intimacies, this dish may be right for you. Side effects may include burnt tongue and possible addiction. Take a cheesy bubbly oyster gratin, and feel like yourself again.

This is how my brain works: The song "You Spin Me Round" comes on @pandora_radio in the kitchen - it makes me think of round things like records, which makes me think of skillets, which then triggered a craving for this Thanksgiving Tian! My brain is a very strange brain that somehow always ends up thinking about food.

A sure fire winner from @marthastewart. Here you go folks.......this is a potato kugel gratin that can be served as a wonderful, warm and cozy side dish for either your passover meal or easter meal. I had to tweek the recipe a bit in the GOE test kitchen but it turned out as delish as it looks.

Dreaming of this gratin on this cozy fall Sunday!

Next time you make steak for dinner, you need this side dish. The onions almost caramelize but the flavor is a little more savory.

Funky-in-a-good-way blue cheese gratin.

You have one week to plan your thanksgiving menu! This Celeriac Potato Gratin needs to be on it!
