recipe review, thanksgiving 2022 edition

happy sunday! i hope y'all got to spend some time with some of your favorite people/places/things this weekend. i did and it was lovely. i'm thankful for being able to order a good chunk of my holiday menu so i don't to worry as much about what i'm cooking. here's to making and maintaining new traditions.

i made this chorizo and roasted poblano wild rice dressing (yeah, i know it's called stuffing in the recipe, but it's dressing around here) and omg y'all. i am absolutely going to make this again. gonna try to use those pouches of precooked rice to save time. so good. 

i also made a variation of this green bean artichoke casserole with frozen green beans, a jar of marinated artichokes, and less than a cup of panko. once the foil came off, i topped it with some additional grated parmesan because cheese is delicious. 

since i had some bisquick left, i decided to make these 7up biscuits today for breakfast this week. i took a small piece of one while i was putting them away and mmm...butter. i'll try to remember to update this once i actually try them out. edited to add: these are good, but baking isn't really my forte so i feel like i messed them up somehow. they didn't look very biscuit-like and i had a little less than 2 cups of bisquick to work with, so that probably had an impact as well. they're not sweet at all (imo), for those worried about the sugar from the 7up. 

o hai hey hello how y'all doin'?

greetings to anyone who's stumbled here from twitter. i suppose i should start trying to post here more often. i say that a lot, but maybe this time i'll actually follow through. possibly. maybe. i dunno. we'll see.

anyway - it's almost thanksgiving and i'm looking forward to trying a couple of new to me recipes. in the meantime, here's a couple of things i made last weekend.

cheddar biscuits: wound up adding a bit more milk to bring the dough together. skipped the parsley and used black garlic salt in lieu of garlic salt. belatedly realized i could've combined the garlic salt and melted butter, but i'm sure i'll make these again so hopefully i'll remember next time.

one-pan chicken, sausage, and brussels sprouts: there are people out there who think sheet pan recipes or other one-pan/one-pot recipes are lazy. i am not one of those people. granted, i've seen some recipes that, in my opinion, lacked seasoning and felt like they were just kinda thrown together, but this was not one of those recipes for me. i already had chicken thighs and italian sausages in the freezer, so i only had to shop for the brussels, shallots, and lemon. i used about a teaspoon of dried rosemary instead of fresh, used a baking sheet lined with foil instead of my cast-iron skillet to make cleanup and my life easier. knowing me, i probably used some garlic powder while seasoning the veggies because, well, i'm me and that's how i roll. this was a good one and i'd make it again. 

hope y'all are well. have a good week.
