Cranberry Apple Drunkin’ Dressing… a Dressing with a Little Kick
When it comes to Thanksgiving one of my all time favorite side dishes for the big day is my Cranberry Apple Drunkin’ Dressing. It is in my opinion the perfect dressing for Turkey!!
The inspiration for this recipe comes from one of my favorite restaurants here in Las Vegas, Table 34. Chef Wes created the most amazing dressing and serves it with his lovely roasted chicken. The minute I tried it I fell in love… it was heaven on a plate. One night while I was there, I had to take the opportunity to ask him what makes his dressing so special. The secret… you get your cranberries DRUNK before you put them in the dressing!!! Seriously, you soak the dried cranberries in brandy for an hour our so before you add them to your dressing. So, last year for Thanksgiving I thought I would come up with my version of Table 34’s dressing and here is what I came up with…

{The Corn Cob} A Cute Treat for your Halloween Parties
From a very early age in my life I knew the principle of… "Presentation is Everything" was a very true principle. I was always on the look out for fun and innovative ways to WOW my friends and family with whatever trinket or goodie I was presenting them with. The same holds true today. You can take something simple and dress it up to make it something extraordinary!! Case in point… the cute and humble candy corn. Who's to say that you can't take a candy corn and turn it into a fun corn cob with just the simple addition of a push pop, a fun printable and some ribbon. Now it turns the simple candy into a fun treat that could dress up any Halloween celebration!
How fun is this? You can take a boring bowl of candy corns and turn them into a fun Corn Cob and now your Halloween table has a festive new addition!
