Thanksgiving has always been about unity—whether of families, friends, or side dishes. If you’ve never cooked anything for Thanksgiving but have always […]
Lying out on my host mom’s patio, enjoying the afternoon sun, it’s hard to remember that back in the States the weather is getting seriously nippy, and Thanksgiving is just around the corner.

So you want something sweet, delicious, and homemade, but there’s a problem. The power has been out for days, you’re beginning to smell like the depths of your laundry basket, and there are no lights, heat, or working oven.
In light of the recent power outage and the lack of heat in Full House, activities in the house have slowed and your beloved foodies have retreated to warmer places that sadly do not include the wonderful Full House kitchen.
The other night, I sat alone at my kitchen table scarfing down a slice of leftover pizza for dinner. My reheated “dinner for one” reminded me of how much I value a home-cooked meal, and how lucky I usually am to share that meal with friends. I love spending time in the kitchen, whether I’m […]
